The Short Rest
In the chaos of California’s deadliest wildfire, Scott Mayfield grabbed his gas mask, knocked on doors, and evacuated neighbors single-handedly until smoke blinded him and fear finally won. What followed was years of self-punishment, survival guilt, and a slow, hard-fought climb back to joy. Now a multi-business owner with a life steeped in fantasy cartography and real estate deals, Scott shares the quiet war that followed the flames. Bardic Inspiration - Words so wise they’re memorialized * For a long time, I was just like, you have to go through more bad to prove that you are worth it when you are good. * I did anything to get a sense of community, to feel like somebody loved me, because I could not for myself. * Your grief is a ball in a box. It’s always moving, and every time it touches the side, you feel the grief and pain. In the beginning, the ball moves very fast, but as time goes by, the ball slows down. * The story I told about myself, I said I deserve this. * I felt this duty of trying to live for the 86 people that died, but I was trying to live for them in the agony they felt on their last day, not living to the best of what I could.
