It didn't feel heavy, just there, off, Like the air was still, like something big had already happened before I stepped out of my bed.

At least that's the plan and my thoughts. I walked out of my house to take a taxi to work, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched. Strange cars packed close to my house, unusual
