Leaving

So my extension worked after many trials and tribulations, running around between different people, my contract ends on 20th October and I leave for the Old Faithful Inn on Wednesday morning. It’ll certainly be strange to leave this place which I have called home for over 2 months. Canyon closed to guests on Sunday, so ever since we have been deep cleaning and closing down the village. Today as I walked back to my room from work, the partially setting sun shone through the tall lodge pole pines and stretched out soft shadows. I looked back at the empty cabins and thought what a sad place this becomes with the absence of life. The place had lost its purpose (even the signs had been wrapped up) and it had no need to be in the many coming icy months. I will be sad to leave this place.
