Own Way
There were many things Boden could handle, but a normal happy life was not one of those things. He couldn’t function the way he was meant to function in this normal happy life, he couldn’t be who he was when he was too busy being compared to a man who was no longer there, no longer present.
To continue here would be unfair to himself and to the woman that had loved the other him, the better more functional one.
With that in mind, Boden saw no other alternative: he had to leave. He had been born a monster who had been turned into a soldier, a hunter, and to turn his back on that was near impossible.
He’d tried, failed miserably.
If he stayed he would be out of place and unable to commit to anything this new life had to offer. Others might have looked at this as a chance to change their life, better it, but Boden had been at peace with his previous life and was not looking to change it.
Nothing needed changing.
With just one bag on his back, Boden said a final goodbye to the woman that had somehow come to accept everything that was different about him, and left the good city of Key West.
Hopefully to forge his own future.
