The garage was finally orderly, matching the sudden clarity in my mind. I flipped the switch, plunging the room into darkness, leaving my life’s work sitting silently on the bench.
The warmth of the hallway welcomed me back as I locked the door behind me. I climbed the stairs slowly, feeling the exhaustion of the emotional evening finally taking its toll.
It was time to sleep, knowing tomorrow would bring a storm I was now prepared to weather.
