Chapter Nine

––––––––

I LOST HIM.

In the inky blackness of fake slumber, I felt a severing of our bond.

A decision I couldn’t undo.

A finality I couldn’t stop.

I sat at the bottom of a pit. A pit with no walls to climb and no air to breathe. Dark and dismal, it kept me far away from the light of consciousness.

I couldn’t wake up.

Couldn’t move.

I screamed.

No one heard me.

I tried to climb.

I fell back down.

I begged Sully not to leave me.

Only darkness replied.
