It was after six, late in the evening. I looked up at the sky and noticed a wisp of cloud drifting above. The sun had set, and the moon was already out, mingling with a ghostly wisp of cloud and slipping behind it. I walked wearily back home, feeling depressed, hopeless, and confused. As I walked, I couldn’t shake the weight of my thoughts. I had to make a change in my life. I had to leave this bloody country. There was no future here. This place could end up like Syria or any number of failed states. I was down, down to the bottom of the deepest ocean. I wanted a drink.
