The bright morning sun shone through Jacob's window, hitting him right in the face.

Jacob grimaced and woke up with a start.

He was a very light sleeper, anything being able to wake him up.

That is probably why he was always tired.

Zelk slowly got out of bed (low blood sugar, if he got up too fast he fainted. He tried too many times lol) and went to brush his teeth.

When he looked up and saw his face in the mirror, he looked unusually pale.

He chose to ignore it and make some coffee.

Seeing that he was up so early, he decided he might as well have some breakfast.

He never had breakfast on any other days.

Like he either skipped it or slept in so late he sometimes didn't even eat lunch.

He buttered himself some toast and looked out the window, yawning widely.

Zelk then spent most of his day editing and recording videos.

But he always had Mega in his thoughts.

'Fuck, have I fallen asleep at my desk again?'

I looked at my poems.

Some were unfinished, some were done, some were terrible.

Some lacked a beginning or an ending.

I found my favourite one.

'I should give it a beginning... what do people not know? What do they not know about depression? What it feels like? Maybe...'


"Do you know what it's like to have depression?

It's like trying to breathe with a heart that's in need of compressions."


I started writing.


"The walls are closing in, and I don't know how to survive.

It's like trying to swim, but your hands and feet are tied."


'I had depression for as long as I can remember, and I didn't really tell anyone... Because they wouldn't understand?'

I continued writing.


"I won't tell you about my pain because I know you won't understand,

Because depression to you is like color to a blind man."


I decided it was enough for now, and went to make myself some coffee. 

Yes, strong black coffee is what I needed right now.

I was bored.

'I finished all my work for today, what should I do now?'

I remembered that I wanted to text Zelkie.

'What happened to our friendship?'

I needed to see what's up.

mega - "Hey."

I waited for a bit...

No reply.

Not even seen.
