Mature Language Warning ⚠️

[I twisted in my sleep a bit, feeling a snore run through me. After a minute my alarm went off, as I reached and turned it off on the ground. Pulling out my gym clothes from my backpack, just navy blue shirt and shorts, I put on my headphones and slipped my phone into my pocket. Playing Otherside by Perfume Genius, as I started to jog.]

Even your going, let it in

Find you

[A cold exhale, I turned the corner towards a woods path.]

From the Otherside

[This path is smooth, but rough and course at the same time, the trees were endless.]

Even in hiding,  find it knows you

Why can't you miss me...

[Slowing down a bit, I prepared to sprint.]

From the Otherside?

[Propelling forward on the three piano keys, I sprinted forward as the music swelled. Pushing myself as my mind started to drift...

You're such a baby.]

Tethered by timing, let it undo

[Stop it.]

Aimless and ripped from the root

[You'll miss me like the coward you are-]

Binds you

[Fuck you...]

Why can't you miss me...

From the Otherside?

[I slid to a stop as the music swelled once more, I caught my breath wondering where the hell I am. Destroying any thoughts I just had.]

Ajax: You alright?

[Seeing a man approach, I pulled out my headphones wondering how I've never seen him before. He's definitely an outsider, his suit says it all.]

Ajax: Kid are you okay?

Lucah: Oh yeah, just catching my breath...

[Chuckling lightly, his smile was almost strained, like he knew something he shouldn't.]

Ajax: Taking a jog?

Lucah: Yep, helps clear my mind.

[Eyeing the motorcycle he had, he noticed while placing his jacket on his forearm.]

Ajax: It won't run for some reason.

Lucah: There should be someone in town who can help.

Ajax: I don't wanna bother you though, you look like you need some solitude.

Lucah: Don't worry about me I'm fine, let's get this beauty in town.

[Helping him push his motorcycle in, I spotted a mechanic shop across the way. I may live here but my mind is tunneled, I never really look past my arm.]

Lucah: There's a mechanic right across the way.

Ajax: I see it, thanks.
