RE: BRIGHTER TOMORROW

in The Ink Well2 years ago

This is an interesting story, @diikaan, almost a character study. We are in the mind of someone who is despondent, but who has not lost hope. He is almost consumed by the impression his depressing apartment has on him. But then, in the end, he watches the sun set and in that moment feels he is watching his ill fortune evaporate. As your title suggests, there will be a better tomorrow.

One wonders, as one reads, if this character will be able to enjoy his good fortune,or even exploit it. So much of what is wrong seems to be a reflection of him, and not his apartment. Dirty clothes. An unwashed pan. Even using the wrong house key. So much of what is wrong actually originates with him. Will this change when he begins a new job? One hopes so.

Thank you for sharing this story with us. We appreciate that you support other authors with your comments.

He has a perception that with better fortunes, he'll be able to take better care of himself and his surroundings. And anything that he might be too lazy to do, can be paid for. That's what he hopes for!
