A life wasted
It began as a place to store his dreams, desires and aspirations. He’d write them on slips of paper, fold them neatly and place them in the rented storage container.
As the years went by it became the place he stored all of his disappointments, regrets and shame.
Elderly and atop a ladder, he attempted to add his final entry to the tip of the mountain. His balance failed him, the floor broke his bones and thousands of neatly folded slips of paper rained down, burying him completely.
The piece found clasped in his hand read simply: ‘A life wasted’.
