Endless darkness surrounds me no matter which way I turn. Each day is like this. I call for Nessa but all I hear are echoes of my voice. A smothering blanket is how this feels. Oppressive and cold and I want to escape. I can’t even count how many days I’ve been here. I wander aimlessly hoping something changes. As I reflect on that hope, I feel something warm and comforting. It envelops my heart and I embrace it. It lasts a while but then it’s gone. The warmth touches me several times after that. I never know when to expect it. Hope that it will continue helps me navigate the listlessness that was taking over.
Something has changed. This is the longest I’ve felt the sensation. I hear a voice from faraway but the words are garbled. “What was that?” I call out. “Nessa?!” Blinding pai
