Various questions, yet simple to answer, bombarded me, but one in particular caught my attention, "Was your travel entertaining?"

These very lips, without hesitation nor thought, returned a plain, "It was business related."

The audience before me muffled, "That's dumb."

However, those very words did not escape me; though, I, too, remained still. Silent. Viewing our surrounding environment as if I were caught in a daze. My mind, nonetheless, soon contemplated the very thought.

"Well," slightly pausing, "We're not a wealthy family."

"Back in the day, we were able to travel to many areas of the country, but not even I recall every state we've been to," I closed my vision, inhaling deeply before continuing.

"All of my memories are fragmented, vague even, as if my conscious slipped into a haze. A dream. It may be the fact I was too young, but..." nearing the end of the sentence, an instant recollection scorched my mind, "I do recall pieces of such memories."

"In any case, we did what had to been done to prepare my arrival for the university. Hopefully, once I acquire a degree, I can pay off all my loans, then use this financial gain to further benefit the family; by doing so, we'll be free of loans and our worries of the future as a whole will be, at least to me, less of a burden."

With that, our conversation ended. We departed separates ways, for soon in her gaze, I faded into the horizon.
A minor conversation I had with a friend, though, we didn't necessarily conversed face-to-face but rather online. Nonetheless, she mentioned how my earlier response sounded that of a prologue and decided, "Why not?" Thus, this is what you have. It's not particularly special, but more of a cold nostalgia, if that makes any sense.
