The Hiding | Dolan Twins

It never dawned on me that my current situation in life would bring me here. My dreams, goals, and aspirations all halted and cast out as sacrifices while I encountered the unthinkable horrors that I now embodied. I was my worst nightmare. An emotionless head floating around with only a beating heart to prove that I was alive.

I never wanted this to happen. Not to me, my brother, or to anyone. No soul should have to witness the fixed images my eyes were constantly glued to. It ate away at my insides, like a termite chomping away on old wood. I wouldn't wish this feeling upon my worst enemy.

I knew something had to change. The small pieces left of my sanity were dripping down my cold skin like wax under a hair dryer, and I knew he felt it too.

I couldn't stay here.

For myself, my brother, and humanity.

I had to leave.
