I has the oppourtunity to be downtown a bunch of weeks back, and wander all over my old haunts. I hadnt done an in depth wander since before Covid. So many changes, so quiet, so dead. Everywhere felt worn out and tired. Slumped. Lost the wind in its sails. get me?

And other times you wonder what the backstory is. What lives were lived, secrets were told in the dark, what fate befell the occupant. After all, chinese lanterns dont plant themselves.
