Daniels POV

▫ ▫ ▫

It's already Sunday. The week had flown by, my life had never really had much meaning except to lead a community of rather annoying people. Wood cutters, security, protectors, elders, school kids, college attenders, everyone had a role in this place, it was all by design. Everyone seemed to be okay with that, they were somehow content. I had never been happy with this way of living but sometimes you just have to accept it. Most people were a happy couple, married and with a family. That's fine however, I had never found such a thing but meeting Storm made me have hope. She's a stranger to me but I wanted to know more. I left because I didn't know what to do with myself, I needed to think about this. If I let her into my life I'd have to tell her things and how would she accept my reality? She probably wouldn't, which is not what I'd want. If I lied to her my whole life, she'd accuse me of other things, she'd think I was crazy.

I briefly text her saying 'Hi, sorry for leaving, had to get to work. Hope you slept okay. Take care, Dan.'

I was overthinking this way too much so I decided to go have a sleep and think about it later. Besides, this girl didn't even know me, I realised I needed to stop thinking about it at all. This was the end of that, for both our sakes.
