The Lucky Last



Tonight, after a long and weary shift, I walked slowly through the hospital car park toward my car.

I was the last to leave, and for once, I welcomed the solitude. I welcomed the silence.
Only moments earlier, I had been surrounded by noise, voices, alarms, footsteps, endless movement — and then suddenly, I found myself alone on a path swallowed by thick fog, where the world seemed softer, quieter, almost unreal.
On the drive home, I lowered the car windows despite the cold breeze. Soft piano melodies filled the air while tiny droplets of mist settled gently upon my face like healing balms. The dance of lights and shadows along the empty roads held my weary soul captive, as though the night itself was trying to comfort me.
It was a beautiful way to unravel the heaviness of the day.
And now, as I sit before the fireplace, staring into its endless glow while writing these words down, I feel a quiet sense of peace — knowing that somewhere amidst the exhaustion, I was able to ease the suffering of a few souls tonight.
