Prompts = Today, Once, Together
Story New = Stillness Before The Day
Today is done and tomorrow’s not yet come.
Thomas murmurs this saying when the day’s errands are finished but prior to sleep; in his opinion, going to bed is the start of a new day, not the end of a full one.
Once the last task is completed and the day ends, he sits in the dark, alone yet together with his thoughts, in a timeless space. The prior day’s events float off into the night while the new day only arrives when he’s ready to welcome it.
Sometimes a yawn breaks the silence; the new day is waiting impatiently.

“Today was a really great day. Thank you for everything.”
“I really had a great time too. I don’t think we should do this just once, but instead we should do something together again soon.”
“You know, I think we should. It feels good to expand connections this way.”
“I agree totally. So what do you think, maybe next week? And not in the library but instead at the coffee shop?”
“Um… sure… ok!”
And so that next week, the two severe introverts sat quietly together in the coffee shop, reading, giving each other plenty of space.
