The Midnight Resignation (Innerself Update)

A huge thank you to the kind soul who helped me reach my goal! The situation is no longer urgent, and the bank deadline is covered. I am so grateful for this community. If anyone still wishes to support my work, or if you would like to request a custom scenario like this one, the best way to reach me is through my Ko-fi. I am always open to new ideas and commissions! 👉 https://ko-fi.com/nealverse 👈 [ Part of the 'Stray' Series ] The park at night is a place for ghosts and people who don't want to be found. You are walking the empty paths for your own reasons when you stumble across someone who didn't choose to be there. A recently fired office worker in a crumpled suit sits alone on a bench, surrounded by empty beer cans and a cardboard box containing their entire career. They’ve been chewed up and spat out by the corporate machine, left to drift in the dark. You are somebody who just decide to go out out of boredom. You might be a stranger, but tonight, you're the only company they have. A story about failure, unexpected company, and finding a new direction when the old one hits a dead end.
