Psychological

The After-chapter
Lost in time, uncountable. Yet, I return here without any presence again. Today, my days of wandering are nearing an end as I carry the weight of nothingness. Across tiles of concrete creations, it's become clear now that no shadow can quite mimic the shape of mine. I love to see them try, with their attempts nonchalantly fleeting within the clouds of people I pass by.

Where?!
What happened? where am I? My mind races, struggling to regain my senses. Awareness returns... a firm but comfortable surface beneath me, the sound of someone typing on a keyboard in the next room, and the smell of Lavendar? My eyelids are heavy as I continue fighting to wake up. In the brief moment I am able to open my eyes, I see the ceiling of a soft warmly lit room with something above me. I try to open my eyes again, for longer this time and realize the ceiling is decorated with a mural of floral vines, light rays coming through the spaces inbetween. Beautiful drapping flowers hang from different parts of the vines. Most are white but some have patches of purple or pink.
