In the fall that I turned fourteen years old‚ a deep depression crept over me like a fog. I would have expected it to come crashing in like a bolt of lightning‚ but it appeared so quietly and gently‚ settling on top of everything. If it hadn’t been for the ache in my bones and the dullness in my mind‚ it could have come by entirely unnoticed. I spent that year like a ghost‚ wandering the hallways of my home at night. When all became quiet‚ I would arise from the dead. My feet moved softly on the

The cold winter’s wind snaps at my face as I walk briskly down the street. The fog makes it impossible to see more than 5 metres in front of me. I look up just in time to see two figures appear out of the fog coming towards me. Running towards me. My feet are frozen to the ground. I can’t move.
