As I stare blankly at the television before me, the heat wafting up from my cup of coffee and hitting me right in the stubble, I barely even process the diarrhea saturated serving of information I'm being fed by the newscaster in my petrified trance. As the words swirl around me, never actually entering my ear canal, a heaviness seems to settle on my shoulders; an eternal weight that cannot be removed, but seems to become heavier with time and age, has weighed me down since I was just a boy... this, however, seems different. Perhaps the urge to do something is more, well, urgent than before, and the pit that digs into my gut, my soul, is growing too big. Maybe it's time to step up my game. ---- Rated M for language and future depictions of violence... among other things. There will be warnings in the before chapter notes if anything noteworthy occurs in the chapter, and instructions for if you would like to skip it will be provided (though I encourage you to read everything if you decide to read the story)

Instead my attention was focused on who I saw seated in the restaurant. His eyes were on the screen in the corner of the room. I knew that because my gaze used to be directed in that direction while I mopped the floors at night. Without warning, he began to laugh. I couldn't hear anything, it was a soundless laughter. Not because I was in a trance, but because the windows and doors blocked in all the sounds... depriving me of the sound I wanted to hear most. Something about his expression made me smile. He looked... if only there were a word to describe how he looked. One word that could paint this perfect image of him in detail capturing even the motion of the moment. But before I could come up with that word, that perfect moment was broken. I inhaled sharply as his eyes landed on me. His face went blank removing all the evidence that he had been expressing amusement. Like a mirror, my smile faded. His empty countenance lasted only for a few more seconds, and then there was a twitch. A twitch of recognition? A twitch of memory? Whatever it was gave my feet the strength to move towards the door.
