The days were so brittle and strange that at times it felt like my lungs had forgotten how to breathe and my heart had forgotten how to beat. And yet somehow we managed to go on—we kept on breathing and our hearts kept beating...just barely...barely...

And then one day it was over, just like that. We looked around ourselves and realized we were in Hell; or that this was what Hell must look like, because none of us had ever imagined anything so horrible could be real—not even in our worst nightmares.
