OctPoWriMo 15 - Almost

Today's prompt asks us to think about the word halfway. This led me to the word almost, which some have said is the saddest word in the English language. I think it depends on your point of view.

Almost

Halfway up or halfway down?

Halfway there or halfway gone?

Not good enough or close enough?

Almost.

I’m almost there.

I almost won.

I’m almost done.

Almost.
