It begins again, as it will. Unsettled and demanding, it scratches at her from inside herself. Yesterday she had tried to run from it, down to the shore, away from it, the water hurtfully obvious in its disinterest in her. She begged the air for a reprieve or condolence but it, too, cared little for her difficulty. She sat at that place and considered the misery in which she now found herself, how unexpected it was, how different from the expectations to which she had so foolishly adhered her hopes. Those hopes now dashed upon the rocks beneath her: Crumpled, silly things, contemptible relics who's only remaining use was to serve the pain she now felt with fuel.
Though this time it wasn't only her. Those horrible monsters perched above her, grinding their teeth. Those selfsame monsters crawling beneath the floorboards, grunting to one another, the machinery of their menace omitting endless whine and jilted howl into her defenseless hovel, the sharpness of their shrieks piercing her as if needles, the relentless noise from them dragging her to the ground, beating her with their ceaseless pulse, the crinkled chattering of them spelling curses and humiliation onto her walls, the drone of them, the futility in attempting to remain stable in spite of them, they bore down on her and she choked and drowned in their sound.
Outside is awful and now the inside is awful as well. The contamination of the interior renders her infection complete and therefore she is subsumed into it all. To whichever place she runs as a means of escape will find her fleeing once more, never to find momentary peace again, forever fleeing from it until she is found gasping, pleading, exhausted in either place, and that place shall be for her the end.
