∞ 84: Solace from time's passage [action/written]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Today Albert is in the sitting room of his house, leafing through a few books idly. The weather is disappointingly rainy for summer, but it's a pleasant change from the heat earlier in the week.

Eventually, he will fall asleep on the couch. It was just supposed to be a nap -- half an hour at most. But that half an hour turns into a whole hour. And then two. (This may even repeat in his bedroom later on.)

Sometime later in the evening, he will write in his journal.]

Accomplishments could be said to be life's milestones. Some are far apart, and others are so close together that they may very well overlap. Some may be considered mundane, and others utterly unique to your circumstances.

If you are willing, I would like to hear of a mundane accomplishment. Something that others could relate to. I will share one of my own: I graduated from school as a teenager.

Childhood friend.

And she and I studied at the same dojo.

I see. That would certainly raise the probability that she would say 'yes.'

It would raise the possibility of either; she knew me well enough that she wouldn't be about to hold back if she didn't like the idea. And to be honest, I did it without really knowing if she was interested.

Asking that particular question would be worth a punch?

She was...uh...well, we were all kids, really.

[A light chuckle] She was a bit unique.

From what little you have said, she sounds like quite a character.

She was, definitely.
