The man in the suit trucker

as reply to contemplating desire

Blue everyday would go to the park and ask around. If anyone has seen a guy that looks like Denver people shook their heads with confused looks. Blue tried to leave small messages for him around the park. He thought Denver would recognize its him. If he ever recognized them. Or if he was even alive.

Blue started to remember slowly and slowly everyday what happened. He was married, he had two kids, but he was in trouble. Originally he was just supposed to help for a little. He remembers that feeling, just work enough to get out, then he could leave.

But then he remembers asking for more work. After all of it, there was one point where it all switched. He was almost done, almost out and happy. No more debts, healthy family, but he asked for more. The man in the suit smiled and said sure. We can work something out. Then it started for one day. He would work when the sun comes up and then goes down again. But then he would be gone for a week at a time, then a month, then 6 months. He imagined himself like a
trucker
, on the road seeing the world but one time when he came back his family wasn't there. He then understood, but didn't have anything else except the man in the suit.
