The black gravel grinds against bare feet, a ceaseless, abrasive punishment. The air hangs dense, burdened by the weight of unseen shackles and the susurrus of spectral whispers. You stand paralyzed, motion dead, the numbness gone—replaced by a raw, pulsing hurt. A shadow peels away from the deeper darkness, a negative image of your own shape draped in void. It steps into the edge of your sight, a silent hunter in the terrain of your own mind. A hand, chilling yet known, comes to rest on your shoulder, pinning you to this moment of desolation. Its eyes, devoid of any hue, fix on yours with a scorching intensity.
