[ WP ] Your Father owns a small chain of ski resorts , and one of the oldest locations has gone belly up . In the month after closing you secretly begin turning on the lifts for just yourself . One day you become aware of how alone you are . On the side of a mountain that nobody has reason to visit .

I ’ m alone. 
 
 Snowflakes are drifting past just like people walking on a busy street. Their flow is undisturbed except for when they collide with me. Some land on my face and the flicker of what they were just disappears into tiny droplets. A bigger droplet is gliding down my cheek, rooting from the corner of my eye. It then collides with the smaller ones and creates an ever-growing flow. 
 
 The tears are blurring the gorgeous landscape that is displayed for my lonely eyes. It doesn ’ t matter because I didn ’ t cry since she left. It feels great. It feels like a ghost was gripping my heart with a more than real hand until finally it got ripped away with the first tear. 
 I can hear the clicking sound of the chairlift through the wind reminding me that even though there ’ s a facilitated way to come near me, nobody is going to. Atop mount Owl ’ s head, a forlorn soul is weeping. 
 
 I use the backhand of my glove to wipe the tears of my face before they can crystallise and I head down towards the immaculate white fluff. I know all the tracks of the mountain like the back of my hand. While gliding on a cushion of campaign powder I feel all the weight of my solitude increasing as I turn my head around looking for my lost love. It was her who got me into skiing. My father never took the time to teach me. He never took the time to love me. 
 
 Twenty years ago, we were drifting down the same track. The sun was slowly melting the snow and its incandescence was felt even through our anoraks. I was so proud of myself I couldn ’ t stop smiling. We glided by the cliffs and looked at each other in a way I knew could only mean happiness. It was the greatest day of my life. 
 
 Now you ’ re gone. The hole inside my chest is only expanding as I head towards the cliff. 
 
 I ’ m falling. 
 
 Edit: Damn I only read the title... sorry if it's not what you expected!
