“Mouth dry, I’m awake. My heartbeat travels from chest to ears.
Where is she?
That laugh was hers. That laugh was here. But I am alone. Rich colors soft textures.
Where is she?
I greet my eyes in the reflection overwhelmed with dread. I look for her inside. My eyes quiver as I force them closed. Please send me back to our memories. Back to where I can be with you.”
