The black gravel bit into bare feet, a relentless abrasion against skin already screaming in protest. The air was thick, heavy with the weight of invisible chains and the whispers of phantom insects. You stood frozen, the movement ceased, the numbness gone, replaced by a raw, throbbing agony. A shadow detached itself from the darkness, mirroring your own form but draped in ominous void. It stepped into your peripheral vision, a silent predator in the landscape of your mind. A hand, cold yet familiar, rested on your shoulder, anchoring you to this moment of despair. The eyes, void of color, locked onto yours with an intensity that burned.
