There was...

It was the end of the day, the fire had warmed the room nearly lulling him to sleep as he sat there typing away to try and cap his day off.

But there was nothing there, just an emptiness that felt half full. Or a moment as though someone had warmed his heart, but left some ice. It was as if something were just shy of lacking from his life, perhaps simply a change in perception, but the small gap was something that let the cold wind of universe right in, and chill the warmth around him.

Perhaps it was a window that he just had to keep shut, a shard of ice from a bad memory, the slow entropy of life slowly entering it's way in. Whatever the case it culminated in a single tear running down his cheek.

A sad feeling that couldn't be any more than that.
