I Just Want To Go Back

"Something strange is happening to him, Stephen. He's not getting better."

"Until we know what's wrong, all we can do is manage his pain."

No one can know. They wouldn't believe me if I told them. I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't happening to me. For now it seems fun. I go on adventures and come back like nothing has happened on either side. It's real. It's a little scary. There's nothing I can do to change anything. It's not my story to tell, but I need to write it down. When I'm done I'll hand it all down to him. He needs to know. Castillo deserves to know. I don't know what this'll do to me. I have a feeling it'll do something. I just don't know what.

I fear I maybe be running out of time, and I just don't know it yet. I just want to go back.
