Coupland d’état | Part Five, Final Part
Filed Under Life Slice
“Yah lotta rain here, and I’m still not used to it,” was one of the last things Jonathan had written to me, when I asked him to no longer send me any e-mails. To cease contact entirely.
It had been a painful decision to make. One, with a never-ending memory.
A Polaroid from the dead. My unrecognizable self. And unlike Coupland, I just wasn’t interested in making a career out of misery.
It had been a standoff between my happiness and well-being.
I had stood a chance.
Among clear skies, reality, finally took hold.
Opening my side of the car door, helping me out of my seat, gathering my baggage from the trunk of the cab; I hugged Gord, goodbye.
