I looked up as the world itself conspired against me, the cruelty of my fate apparent by my own inability to even be noticed by a passing woman. Moments passed, minutes, as I tried to collect myself from the mental shattering I’d only barely endured. Looking down these were the same hands, the same arms, the same legs. And yet the world around me had shifted, the mundane becoming murderous and the unknown, uncared for parts of a…home? Becoming unkempt sources of genuine terror. My mind raced as it finally struck me the stupidity of my standing still, rushing for minutes towards the closest wall. Legs pounding and heart racing my target seemingly never getting closer, only more in focus as the wall that reached up to the heavens finally appeared in my grasp. Panting I leaned against it for support, my heart gently working its way down from my throat as my soul seemed to soak into it. This wall…it was real, even if I wasn’t, even if the world with such a terror such as Her wasn’t
