Darkness reprieve

Chapter 48

I've tried everything I could so that I could shed a tear. Feel something. I could for the first second or so, but it just disappears right after.

There's no point in imagining a disastrous situation with friends and family; I don't feel anything for them anyways.

Those emotions people tend to see on my face every so often when I'm out are nothing but a facade. A mask that I can't take off without the risk of tearing the face that's right under it.

So, I'll just wait till this wears off...

Hopefully...
