I kicked off my shoes, letting them touch the floor as I sunk into the recliner beside the window.
I hadn’t bothered to turn on the lights; the dark, gray light seeping through the curtains felt right for the way I felt inside.
Today was a day off work, yet all I wanted was to escape from my own thoughts.
How did it get to this point?
I placed my fingertips to my temples, kneading away the dull ache pounding behind my eyes.
Everything felt like everything had spiraled so far out of control, like a domino effect I couldn’t stop.
It was almost funny.. how one lousy mistake had affected my entire existence.
Maybe it all began that night at the party.
If I hadn’t gone, if I hadn’t had one too many drinks, if I hadn’t let my guard down, I wouldn’t have ended myself twisted in this
