Chapter 29: Chapter 8: Shadows In The Distance
There are some days when everything feels like it's moving forward, but you're stuck in place. The world is speeding ahead, people laughing, talking, living their lives, but you're caught somewhere behind, trying to catch your breath, trying to make sense of everything.
That was how I felt when I woke up that morning. The days felt heavier now, like each moment was tied to the last, and the weight of it all was starting to suffocate me.
I sat at my desk, staring at my reflection in the window across from me. My room was dim, the morning light filtering weakly through the curtains, but it wasn't the darkness that bothered me. It was the silence. The silence inside my head, that was loud enough to drown out everything else.
I didn't know what I was running from anymore.
