‘…….nothing lasts forever, and we both know hearts can change.” – November Rain, Guns n Roses. Matt, novelist and traveller, is working at a backpacker’s hostel – a job opportunity he claims to be his sabbatical from the daily drudgery of life back home. It’s a pattern of running away and yet trying to find himself in the stories of the travellers he meets but, the broken glass bottles in the box of his past and the memories associated with them – make him feel like an accumulation of what’s passed…but could it be, that his desperation to be better on this self-imposed quest is what’s taking him to a meltdown? Maybe all he needs to do is pause and just be.
