Looking down the road one last time before I walked away, I noticed that the city had become engulfed in a dense fog. Cold winds from the north were already rocking the city and hardly anyone was venturing outside.
The streets and the shops wore a deserted look and most of the shops were closed even though shops around the station stayed open till late everyday to cater to the crowds that disembarked from distant town to make a livelihood.
Looking at the meandering river which flowed next to the road, the river looked so cool, refreshing and it seemed to call me out. I wanted to hop off and walk barefoot on the green grass and slip into the river to drive away the coiled up stress. Rivers always had a free and untamed look to it and it always seemed to hold me under a spell whenever I ventured near.
Looking at my own reflection on the still waters made me realize where once stood a young man now I saw a white haired wrinkled man who had the haunted look in his eyes.
