Night falls like a suffocating blanket of ebony as I pace in my penthouse like an animal that’s been caged up for too long.

"I’m,"

A sliver of light slashes through the darkness as thunder strikes. A storm slowly comes to life, rising from its slumber like a Phoenix from the flames.

"slipping…"

The clock ticks midnight and I have been waiting since seven. The seconds tick away against the background and I want to scream.

"...into.."

I toss open the balcony doors and step into the cold. You’ve done it. you’ve brought me to the edge. I’m falling, falling into…

"...hysteria."
