Invigorating was one way to describe it. Freedom. A weight lifted. A new start. The rest of his life starting now.
He put the sledgehammer down. All that remained of his laptop, PC, tablet and smartphone was a mangled, twisted pile of metal and plastic. His past life, his identity – trashed.
He turned his back on it and walked out the door. The bright sunlight hurt his eyes. People walked along the road. Real people. A woman smiled at him. He smiled back.
Linking with Fandango’s One Word Challenge. Today’s word was: Invigorate.
Sometimes I wonder if it might be better to do that…

Every once in awhile, I take a hiatus from electronics for a month. It is invigorating!
