that went in a different direction than i had intended

A traveller leaves behind a village after spending a long time there, setting foot for home. But as he walks down the gravel path, he can't help but feel like he's left something behind.

Pausing under the shade provided by some trees waving in the gentle breeze, he contemplates on whether or not he should go back and figure out what was missing.

"If it was important, I would have remembered it," he says aloud. He continues forth, trying to dismiss the feeling despite each step he takes nagging him a little more.

Time constraints mean I can't write anything witty or profound here.

There's something coming. You can feel it crawling from behind your mind, from inside your bones, from the tip of your toes to the last hair on your head.

Fight it. You're stronger than that.

He wakes up with a start. There's something in the back of his mind, something he was going to today... He can't remember it, but he gets ready for the day and he goes to work. All throughout the day, he keeps having that feeling and he can't figure out what he's forgetting. A few times, he gets close to it, but then has to go back to work.

Finally, on his way home, he remembers! He's got a date tonight! After collecting a small army of pop vinyl figures from the comic shop, he finally asked out the cute cashier and tonight is the night. He texts her, and it's still on. They end up having a great night together.

ah fuck another one in this age
