The still water was a perfect mirror, reflecting everything he had ever known and loved. Everything he had ever hated, he reminded himself, turning to walk away. A stagnation had crept into every corner of his life, rooted deeply in a history miring him in expectations grown heavier with each passing day.

The family would see his courage as pride, dreams as foolish, and the new path he forged for himself as the ultimate betrayal.
