Very nice, rich imagery; I particularly liked that first paragraph, the description’s very tangible. The only thing I suggest to make it flow a twee bit better: take more advantage of pronouns. You only have one character thus far, so there won’t be any confusion if you use “his” or “him” more often.

I can’t quite see why it’s called “Last Night of Normality,” but that doesn’t detract from this piece too much, if at all. I only wonder about it because I’m curious like that.

Lovely moment and beautifully told. Reminds me of the feeling I tried to get across in another story and didn’t quite get it as somber and serious as you did. Nice job!
