Life of Kye

Embracing Death

She smiled through the pain, said her goodbyes, and turned off the camera. Another day of assignments...another day of staring at the same four walls. It had been like this for months, her phone and laptop the only ties to the outside world. Things as she knew them to be had ceased to exist and being as lonely as she was, depression hit like a tidal wave. She stopped watching the news after a while, the death toll steadily rising was too much for her. She could practically feel all the death that swept through the nation. She glances at the same four walls of her tiny apartment with a bit of resentment. She’s a prisoner in her own home.
