The Undisputed Hudson Stewart

20 : The Past Life

Hudson sat in the garden alone, he was clad on an armless top and a short, he had a lighter in one of his hands, while playing with a cigarette with his other free hand, moving it across his lips, inserting it in and out of his mouth, he seemed lost in space, staring at a blank space, it was evident that he was lost in his thought. He didn’t even notice the approaching footsteps that were behind him.

He felt a hand grab his shoulders, he jolted out of his thoughts and turned back as fast as he could.

Bethel was staring down at him with a smile on his face, Hudson let out a deep sigh and returned back to his former position, resuming what he was doing before.

He inserted the cigarette back into the pack and placed it in between his laps.

“Don’t beat yourself up over it, it was nothing, you can’t expect the first thing you take care of to go so smoothly after all, there have got to be challenges also, you can’t expect everything to go your way and your life should be a bed of roses
