The news felt like a lead weight in her stomach. She’d loved this apartment, with its quirky layout and the quirky neighbors. She’d felt safe here. Now?

She grabbed her keys and walked to the park. The leaves were starting to turn, the air crisp and cool. The park offered a welcome refuge from the claustrophobia she felt inside. She sat on a bench, watching children play.

She pulled out her phone and scrolled through old photos, images of friends, of holidays. She felt a pang of… something. Loss, maybe? She sighed, then put the phone away and watched the sun set.
