Getting this in just under the wire - all 119 words of it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"He lost his faith." "He lost his trust". "He lost that easy way about him".
He wanted to hit something or someone when he heard those whispers. "Lost." Like he put 'em down somewhere - his faith, his trust, his easiness - and then just walked away and forgot about 'em. Like he could put up a couple signs someplace, maybe place an ad out on the Cortex: Lost - everything I held close to me. If found, please return.
Lost meant casual - couldn't mean much if you'd just up and lose it all. Lost meant careless. Lost was a word that wasn't his.
Ain't nothin' was lost. All of it was taken. And that was the difference.
