THIRTY-NINE

INARA

I am gone.

Who am I?

Who am I?

It’s back … faster this time … and I am … lost.

Pain.

Pain.

I am pain.

Roaring and roaring and roaring. And in my dreams, she’s there, calling for me, beckoning to me, needing me.

I will go to her—I must go to her.

In a room with a door to nowhere and everywhere.

The roar will take me to her.

She calls for me and I will go.

Doors and darkness and roaring and voices calling to me, but I must go to her. I must go.
