Crossroads

Wooooooooooo!

"Thanks for taking the time to come listen to me everyone ! If you enjoyed it make sure to follow me on my socials and attend my offline live shows as well ! Thank you again !"


"Phew.. nothing beats the scent of one's home."

Living off my music is great but, the anxiety doesn't hit the same when I'm right in front of my crowd. Not to mention the organisation it requires to bring all of my stuff on-site and get permission to use the space.

Now what do I make tonight.. 'think I deserve a little treat for all my trouble.

"Great I still had some pesto sauce leftovers. Let's do some some ol' pasta with tomatoes and parmigiano~"

Some people think it's a hassle to cook every single day when you're living alone. They say they hardly feel motivated if the sole recipient to their efforts is only themselves.
To be honest, I think that's extremely sad. You're stuck with yourself your whole life after all, better to learn to appreciate it rather than fight it, in my opinion at least. Especially when you're not guaranteed to ever find the right person for you, or be able to keep them around for as long as you wish you could.

"Oh what's up Sandra, it's already past nine aren't you back home already ?"

"W-well, I'm sorry Tadashi-san but I'll need you to brace yourself before I tell you what exactly happened, are you already seated by any chance ?"

Huh ? "Y-yeah, I just brought some food to my desk, I was about to have dinner. W-why ? You scare me already with your tone."

"Ok.. Well, I'll ask you listen to me without losing your cool until I'm done. It is about your mother.. she was found unconcious at her desk after work hours again. A security guard found her ten minutes ago and immediately contacted the affiliated hospital and then myself."

It's the third time this year right ? We're only in june though, I guess that's more worrying considering the most she did before was four throughout a single year huh.

"Hold on, it's not hot news by now is it ? I guess she's reached her limits faster and in quick succession since the start of the year but surely that's just because the country is experiencing a surge in tourism and she didn't anticipate it and took the heaviest load for herself to avoid burdening her employees or-"

"T-take a deep breath please Tadashi-san. T-that's not all there is to it unfortunately.."

"Where is she right now then ? I'll go see her right away. My car should be charged up since I had a friend pick me up earlier to go to the-"

"Tadashi-san ! P-please try to calm down and listen to what I have to say until the end."

"..."

"When your mother was found she was.. n-not breathing anymore. The medic said she was still in a state to be brought back depending on some parameters but.. nobody can come visit her right now. They are trying their best to..."

Frankly by that point I was barely even able to make out the sound of the voice coming out from the other end of the phone. Before I knew it I had put on the first shoes lying around and had rushed to the entrance of my appartment; not bothering to lock it behind me I hopped in my car and started it in a hurry, yanking the electric cable off the connected end at the back of the vehicle one the way. My phone might have still been on my desk or been in my pocket I had no idea, perhaps I even left it on the floor where I picked up my shoes; whatever the reality, it wouldn't matter when I found out later how my place had been violated and ravaged in the few hours I spent away from it.
