Gloom

Sometimes love isn't enough.

There is something festering within me. Something rotten. And its shadow is clouding my life.

And then, there's him. A ray of light I've stumbled toward in this storm of ruin.

From the very first moment we shared, he burnt me. He imprinted himself into every facet of my being, into every breath, every cell.

And now, I am losing him. I am losing everything...

Gloom is a story about self-destruction, and toxic love.

Contains triggers: Cheating, suicide, mental health decline.

No matter how hopeless 'now' feels, trust that there is always a better tomorrow waiting. We just have to keep trying.
