Sliding in to a park, the fresh air of the surrounding nature fills my soul, prying my mouth into a broken smile as I find comfort on the grass.
The park bursts into life as the wind compels the overcast to migrate, opening a path for the light to flow through. Reaching for my phone, buzzing like it’s full of joy, but finding her face I hesitate. My chest begins to burn, cringing in pain I struggle to hold emotion from showing, my heart screams for comfort and my mind beckons for help. The pain killing me from the inside, I feel disgusted with myself, shamed about how selfish I’m being. Racing to the car I hold back my tears, it feels as if my head will explode any moment. I feel it coming, my eyes are hurting, hands trembling, trying to unlock my car before I fall apart for someone to see, slamming the door behind me and narrowly missing my foot. A fever falls upon me and all my emotions collide with each other, I burst into tears as my head drops into my arm. Unable to fight the urge to sleep, I give in, falling into darkness, too weak to worry about anything right

It’s as if I’m sinking deeper the further into the cold ocean, the pressure ferociously strangling me. My boss Dorian offers me a seat as we arrive in his office, in that very moment I sat down, I felt as if my heart was being clawed out just with his stare. I barely said a word, frozen by the venom of reality, everything he said went right through me, too devastated to soak in the closure he offered. “You have a couple of days to pack your belongings, goodbye Mr Faraner.” Dorian stated coldly as he looked at me blankly. My life has been torn away from my body, my entire world has been drained of all hope, not even a glimpse shining through the cracks. I leave without any hesitation, what’s the point in lingering anyway?
