Abruptly, I left the small room, which had a mattress on the floor, and took my chances down the trail. Was not keen to be staying in an empty room for the night – alone, nor was I happy at the turn of events. Split second, lightning speed, I made a decision and abandoned my sanity on the floor mattress. <\/p>\n
The trail proved to be tricky at night. I wasn’t worried about the insects, nor the semi-darkness and the walk was brief on rough terrain. I was keen to lose myself tonight, to drown my disappointment in whatever way. <\/p>\n
My friend was kind enough to accommodate me at such a late hour, and upon seeing my sweaty face, cold drinks were readily available. Flashed a smile, without a pause, I set into the mood as I walked inside.<\/p>\n
I was not alone, there were others who sought similar isolation, sitting in the shadows but at a distance; softly whispering, enjoying their refreshments. I cannot help but curse at the night. Wasn’t so difficult to relate my thoughts to my friend. I needed a short break from everything, and to nurse my unhappiness. <\/p>\n
Soft music in the background, almost reminded me of the annoying lounge-music. But at least the companion is sympathetic, and the presence is comforting.<\/p>\n
