Jacob
I had no clue where I was heading.
The city stretched before me, a maze of glowy lights and shadow, each step carrying me further into the unknown.
My feet moved without thought as if guided by something deeper than conscious will…something primal, something desperate.
Every step felt like a betrayal, moving me further from something unknown, something I didn’t wish to face.
But the truth was sharp, as loud as my pulse, as undeniable as the night air I gulped.
I was running.
Not just from a place, but from myself. From the memories that clung to my skin like a cold sweat, from the revenant ghost of a man who refused to let me go.
I’d convinced myself over and over that I’d had enough of Daniel. That I’d had enough of his deceits, his obsession, his twisted mind games.
