DAY 1 - Futile

Samuel opened his eyes, still lying on his bed since last night. He hadn't had a second of sleep and his eyes were swollen from the sleepless and thoughtful night. 

He was used to insomnia, but what he wasn't used to was the series of complicated, unwanted, and unnecessary thoughts during the night, preventing him from staying awake in peace. Because of the events that had occurred till now, his nights were awful. 

He slowly crawled out of his bed to freshen up. Brewing his morning coffee, he kept thinking about his next course of action. What would be the most suitable thing to do in such situations? Would it be okay to inform everyone, one by one, and see them off? Would they even accept his departure? 

Today was day 1 of the 3 days he was given to go back to his military position, and he had no idea how to spend it. His mind was completely blank and empty.
