Jack left town for a week, some kind of concert or something. Samantha hadn’t really heard the reason, because as soon as he told her he was leaving, her world went underwater.

She moved slowly through her apartment, touching her familiar things like foreign objects, museum exhibits from a life she didn’t lead anymore and could barely remember. He would come back, she reassured herself, and then time would resume. She would swim up from the bottom, shed the weight of water, breathe air for the first time in days.

He would come back, and then she could live again.

Aw, so expressive and well done again! You always do have a knack for not only packing a lot into a drabble, but never making it feel as if that's the case, if you know what I mean.

I think so, like there's a lot of layers there but they're not obtrusive? Thank you very much if so!

This is super vivid

Don't forget you can claim the prototype for Wild Thyme (if you haven't already)

Thank you!

Also I thought that went through when we finished the color. Good to know it's the first one! Thanks!

It's triggered by needing to make the tag
