« You know what? I quit. » The words had come out of my mouth without any agenda, I had never planned to announce my resignation, even out of anger. This job is actually good, the pay is good, the food for lunch is good, I have felt really good. I don’t know what got into me. It was the only way I found to show her my discontent. I couldn’t tell her the truth of how I felt, so I just said this ridiculous thing. I wanted her to feel guilty, maybe ashamed of how she behaved with me. It didn’t seem to work though, the expression on her face wa...

The day when the story takes place is a day in the middle of a week, a Wednesday or a Thursday. Avril was walking in the streets of her childhood town when she suddenly felt the urge to take pictures of the autumnal scenery around her.

Tick, tock. Tick, tock. Time was ticking and the new year was coming. Time was ticking and it was nearly the end of my life. I just did not know it yet. Ten seconds left. Only ten seconds. The new year meant new opportunities, new pages to write and new dreams to fulfil. That’s what it meant for most people. Not for me. At least not for the year that was coming. I did not know it yet but there was only ten seconds left for me. Tick, tock. I did not know it yet but I made a wrong choice. A wrong choice because I did not invite the right peopl...
