One month and twenty-one days, upon the death of my husband. Four years and seventy-nine days upon the death of my parents.

And as I stare at the white-painted walls in the second-hand house my husband and I bought after we got married, I can sense the emptiness this house has brought me. I hate it. I hate the energy this house is giving me. The void drains me.

Lifting my body, I attempt to stand, but something is stopping me. It's making my body heavy, causing me to fall on the ground and see complete darkness.
