The Midnight Loneliness

I work nights at the local warehouse, and it's not uncommon to see only a few stray cats during my shift. One night, as I was scanning packages, I started humming an old song from when I used to date Sarah back in high school. The silence echoed with each note, making me feel even more alone. After work, instead of heading home, I went to the park where we'd meet and just sat there for hours, listening to my own voice as I sang our old love songs into the darkness.
