The morning light felt cold, the eviction notice a chilling testament to her current state. She stared out the window, watching the city wake, each movement a reminder of her impending departure. A sense of weariness had permeated every aspect of her being, making simple tasks seem monumental.

A profound sense of loss settled over her, akin to the slow erosion of a shoreline.

She sat down, the chair offering no solace. Her gaze drifted toward the dust motes dancing in the sunlight, each one a tiny, fleeting thing, reflecting her own ephemeral existence.
