I breathe in. I breathe out. I open my eyes. I blink. I hear a sound. I listen. A shadow touches me, yet I don't feel it. I cry out for help, but no sound comes out. The shadow walks away, and I beg her not to leave. But its all complete silence. I try to reach for her hand, but I can't move. I am (e)motionless, a statue, all I accomplish is a single tear. She abandons me, I'm left alone, to the sound of my heartbeat, slowly beating. The night covers me. I am but a shadow. a memory. I miss her.
