Sneak peek:
The next dream was a blur of shapes and colors at first. Amorphous figures danced around him in a chaotic rhythm, and voices filled his ears like thick molasses, clogging his head with indecipherable chatter. As the figures grew faster, however, he focused on the only unmoving object within the shifting sea.
The man at the well.
He gave X a knowing smile. Xisuma wanted to confront him, to scream at him, to curse him for destroying his whole life in front of him, yet he also... didn't. He never liked the feeling of anger, but this time, it was especially unpleasant. It bubbled and burned in the back of his throat, and he clenched his jaw, trying to repress it. Slowly, his ire simmered into a reserved distaste, extinguished like a fire in sand. No, he wasn't angry. He had to accept this. He had to accept everything.
His passion would ruin him.
Finally, the man, the colors, the shapes, all faded into the haze of sleep.
