THE RESIGNATION LETTER THAT LIVED IN DRAFTS

Most jobs contain an invisible resignation letter somewhere between fantasy and contingency.

A letter on the floor beside an instrument case, drawn in ink

It was written on a bad evening and edited on several good ones, which is how you know it was never really about leaving.

It sat in drafts doing useful work: a small private exit, proof that the door existed even while you stayed.

Some letters are not meant to be sent. They are meant to be kept.
