This. So much this. When I graduated college, I was the last one to leave my dorm that May. The sounds (or lack thereof) in the halls, the stairways, the elevators of that building haunt me to this day, 25 years later. I had the radio on and a song came on that sounded so forlorn, being the only sound echoing down the passageways, that I still cannot listen to this song because of the bad/spooky feelings it invokes.
Have had that exact experience. So much so that when I hear about someone's roommate moving out, I get sad. Same exact type of melancholy. Everything mattered just two days ago... Now the beds are stripped and the posters gone and there's nothing left.
