Opening sample
First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.
You stand in the middle of your cluttered apartment, surrounded by years of accumulated possessions. The walls are lined with books, the floor is a sea of clothes, and the air is thick with the faint scent of old perfume and the faint hum of outdated electronics. It’s overwhelming, but you know it’s time to face this reality and start the process of leaving the city cleanly. The first step is to recognize that this isn’t just about sorting through your things; it’s about making a conscious decision to let go of what no longer serves you.
