An Unexpected Party
Okay so walking along the highway wasn't safe but Kuronue was kind of desperate right now.
His car had ran out of fuel some miles back, leaving him in the middle of the Sonora Desert with only his duffel and a bottle of water. He was pretty sure he was sunburnt, and his hair was sticking to his neck and back. He'd ditched his shirt a long time ago, shoved it into his duffel along with a few other things.
Retreat, one of his coworkers had told him. Spend some time away. Do whatever the hell you want.
Nearing the end of his 20s, Kuronue had looked at his life, seen all he'd accomplished and flipped out. It was never quite good enough. He'd gotten too comfortable, he needed to get back to basics build himself up even further. And so, here he was. Back to square one. Walking along in the blistering heat, watching cars pass him by while he held a thumb out and walked at his own easy pace, humming to himself.
