 He woke up feeling off. Not off, as in `` got up on the wrong side of the bed'' off,'' but off as is in the weird, tingling sensation that something, somewhere was wrong. He went about his day, as normal. Same routines, same habits. Then he realized what was off -- where he once felt her presence everywhere and all-permeating, it was missing. It was gone. Gone like his sense of urgency when the fire alarm went off, and he burnt his food, and the phone rang, and the smoke filled his lungs. Gone like getting hit in the stomach, the breath rushing out of his lungs, gone. Her presence was gone. She had left him. She was right, he would miss her when she was gone.
