As I lay motionless on the bed, my eyes flicker open slightly, peering through the darkness of the room. My gaze drifts towards Dag, who is asleep next to me. He looks peaceful, his breaths steady, and even, a stark contrast to the turmoil within my own chest. Despite my outwardly calm demeanor, my mind is a jumble of thoughts and emotions, ranging from confusion to heartache. Being so near him yet feeling worlds apart is an odd sensation. I'm unable to find rest, so instead, I lay there, silently observing him as the night hour drags on.A sense of desperation fills me as I realize I can't stay like this anymore. The need to escape, to run away from this emotional turmoil, overwhelms me. My mind races with conflicting thoughts, but the longing to break free, to distance myself from the pain, is too strong to ignore.
A flicker of determination ignites within me as I come to a decision. Tonight. I'll make my escape tonight. The thought brings a strange mix of anticipation and fear, but the resolve to break free outweighs the anxiety.
My heart aches as I glance at Dag, his sleeping form laying motionless beside me. It's a bittersweet realization, knowing that he has become dear to me, yet my own self, my own need for freedom, feels even dearer in this moment. The conflict within me rages on, the tug-of-war between my affection for Dag and my desire for escape.
With careful precision, I slowly stand up, making sure to minimize any noise that might awaken Dag. My footsteps are light, and my movements measure as I try to avoid making any unnecessary sound.
The darkness adds an extra layer of challenge to my escape plan. I can barely see. My surroundings reduced to vague shapes and shadows. I hesitate for a moment, the unknown lurking in the darkness, making me uneasy.
I reach under the bed, my hand grasping the cold metal of the knife I've hidden. Alongside it, I take the makeshift rope I've crafted from his blankets, its rough texture, a stark contrast to the blade in my other hand.
I pause to look at Dag, his sleeping figure once again stirring up a whirlwind of emotions within me. For a brief moment, a pang of hesitation washes over me, but the desperate need for freedom wins out.
I quickly tie the rope to the desk, securing it tightly. Then, with careful precision, I open the window, making sure to do so quietly to avoid drawing any attention. A cool breeze filters in from outside.
The cool night air caresses my face as the window finally opens. I take a deep breath, steeling myself for the next step. My heart thumps loudly in my chest, a frantic drumbeat echoing in my ears.
I swallow and tie the other end of the rope around my waist .
I take one last glance at Dag. His sleeping form is a silent silhouette in the darkness. For a moment, I feel a pang of regret, a whisper of doubt creeping into my mind. But I shake it off, pushing it away.
My heart pounds against my chest, thrumming wildly as if trying to escape my ribcage. The rush of adrenaline mingled with fear and anticipation creates a potent concoction that floods through my veins.
I ease my leg out of the open window, the outside world waiting in the darkness below. The night air is cold, and the drop is slightly dizzying.
My eyes dart towards Dag one final time, taking in his peaceful face, the rhythmic rise, and the fall of his chest. A pang of sadness and guilt floods through me, but I push it aside.
I turn away from Dag and look outside, my gaze taking in the vast, unknown world that lies beyond the windowsill. The night is moonless, the darkness outside absolute.
My gaze drifts back to Dag one last time, his still form lying motionless in the bed. The sight of him asleep, unaware of my impending departure, makes my heart ache, an invisible dagger twisting in my chest.
