Reunion At The Bar
Scott was driving that brand-new automobile down the street once more. He made his way directly to a pub he used to frequent with pals from high school. His ostentatious appearance caused heads to turn as he pulled up, adding to the excitement he appeared to be seeking. With the automobile serving as a testament to his newfound prominence, he strode inside and reveled in the attention. The careless spending coiled itself tighter around this new existence he was creating, like an unseen thread.

Distant Observations
I saw from a distance as Scott’s actions unraveled like a knotted thread. It was like witnessing someone else’s life—the drinking, the automobile. With anxiety gnawing at my gut, I thought, “I hope he learns his lesson before he hits a wall.” Instead of his careless recklessness, the children needed stability. He seemed to be burning through everything in order to fill an emptiness. Observing him from a distance was painful, but I knew I had to concentrate on our future.
