Beautiful Chaos 🥀
Chapter 35: "I Can't Breathe"
Act: I
"The origin of the universe is Oneself. In fact; the origin of everything is Oneself. Yes, including Life. Although the above is correct, it remains an abstraction of sorts. Why? Oneself is the origin of itself. There is only Oneself experiencing itself. The purpose? To escape aloneness, to have companionship. Yes, Love indeed. It's all about Love. Love is the greatest commandment, Oneself is essentially Love."
-Wald Wassermann 🥀
Arthur was so lost in thought and tipsy that he had almost walked right into 3 people. They could have shoved him over and spat in his face and that would have been fine, as long as he can still make his way to Iris.
All those years of pain and abuse seemed to have vanished the second her soft hand grasped onto his filthy, bloodied one. He had been lifted into a new world and it was a world where he felt that it was finally okay to really be himself. Perhaps, it always was okay, but Arthur was the only one who's third eye had finally opened, while others were still blind.

Thankfully, the cashier did not ask for his identification and simply smiled at him and went on to the next customer in the long line behind him. Once Arthur stepped outside, he instantly took a cigarette out and lit it, inhaling it deeply and exhaling such a beautiful relief. He was beginning to get nervous and it was also very cold out and he only had her light hoodie to keep his skinny body warm.
He bought a beer, also, and started mindlessly drinking it the second he stepped outside. He was so nervous and it made his stomach turn, but somehow the beer helped. Later on may be a different story.
