Off beat footsteps echo in empty halls. Their call-back falling deaf to ears lost in the past. “YOUR FAULT!” Spit harsher and in a different pitch then tonight, though the lights have always been too bright for her to place who...
Words and pitches always shift under neon lights, so it’s-... Even if they burn, if she just keeps walking, she’ll find their room.
... Would that be such a good id%ea? If wax breath3**es from your s k i n, you’ll only make it worse. aL- ALWAYS- always MAKE it W OR S E- 000 It’ll really be all your fault. AL**&WAYS yoUR fault.
Each turn of the halls and knot in her head isn’t something to note in her book. The pen ran out of ink a long time ago and the pages are torn. Each line swirling into it’s own depth leaving her more lost than if she simply follows the folds left behind.
Eventually, footsteps always turn like a switch to a thud and a slow dragging, but never as satisfying as that click. The drop calls two thoughts to mind from the hallow present she was so distant from. What was I looking for again..? and a realization her blanket isn’t dragging along behind her which leads to the third thought.
