Oh man! It does take a while to figure out who you are anymore, once you leave your career behind. I didn't work with screens and I LOVED my career, but I sure identified with all of Herman's plans for the future and his fears that he would just lie on the sofa and do nothing. Both are possible.
These are such stand out lines, Bryan:
[Screens] "Just windows into the inane and aimless prattle that paraded as work."
"... sewn together with threads of hope..." ( I am totally stealing that metaphor)
"He heard the metallic clink of the shackles on his ankle again. It felt tighter than before, but familiar. Comfortable. Anchoring." [the] "drug that was all he knew". Yikes. Just so.
Like the whole concept of a cleansing and all the existential questions. Imagine you could take these as seeds for other stories to explore. Enjoyed this, Bryan!
