Bring me Back

Chills in my veins. They're hollow and brittle, my spine shrinks away from my shivering heart. I feel numb and useless. my world isn't mine, people just live around me.

My Story

That morning, I knew my plot.  And I knew who I was. But a few things have changed since then. My pages are damp, ripping along the edges.
