CHAPTER 1
"People are always seeking the approval and attention of others in a ways that contradicts their core beliefs in a ways that change them , this world is just one big masquerade ball -and im no better ". Saviour thought to himself as he rode the train home .
" The train was always a comfort zone for me, a way to be around people, but disapear completely, even though its loud and crowded, my mind remains dim and quiet." saviour observed the passengers with hooded eyes, taking in all the passesngers who were smiling , chatting and kids who were playing around. He brought his attention back to the phone in his hands that long had been forgotten.
'right, I forgot about this.' he smiled faintly.
He thought -"all these people, how are they smiling...so brightly."
The train had stopped at his station when something caught his attention at the corner of his eye, and old man dressed in a large coat ... grinning.
"What the..." Saviour said internally." "That man's smiles..."
The old man's smiles, it was something saviour had seen only once, a smile so malicious yet so decripted. But what was different about this was the cracks he saw. Cracks that stretched across the smile as if asking for permission to falter. Playing his role well enough to not draw any mind to the attention of others.
"I hate this..."saviour stepped off the train onto the platform as he voiced internally.
As he got home, saviour had the habit of tossing his bag anywhere he felt fit, skimmed his home for no reason but to occupy his mind with anything other than deep thinking.
"I'm home..." He whispered, as the worlds seemed to amplify and bounce within the empty space. "Oh I forgot...I live alone." He said in a depreciating voice.
He stood in silence lost in thoughts . He then walked to his room and retired to bed .
But even as he slept the nightmares wouldn't let him rest, he twists and turns as he tries to escape and run . Then he jumped up, gasping and wet from sweat.
"Even my dreams won't let me rest." he gulped "maybe I'll just go take a walk." Half way down the road, he stopped.
"This is stupid, I'm going insane huh," he laughed out loud and slid down clutching his legs to his chest. "I hate this, why can't I just be like everyone else".
As he thought, the streets went dark , not the dark like the night sky, but a darkness so heavy his entire body felt still-then he saw a little girl walking in the middle of the road ..stumbling slowly with tear marks. Saviour immediately felt that something was wrong and stood up walking towards the girl.
"Hey, what are you doing out here alone at this hour."
The little girl slowly looked up at him , her eyes dark and bottomless, saviours eyes twitches, his breath stilled for a moment ...they were like the ocean floor. "dead eyes."he thought to himself.
"Have you seen my doll."she asked silently
Saviour felt heavy for some reason. "No, I haven't."he chuckled silently trying to lighten the mood, " can you describe it to me."
" Everyone leaves me, they always say they'll come back." The little girl said calmly with tears in her eyes
Then the street light flickered, then dimmed. The atmosphere suddenly felt heavy. Saviour looked around in confusion, but his gaze dropped back to the little girl who had started whispering and shivering with tears.
Saviour felt a familiar sense of dread
...A fracture
It was then that saviour felt something heavy
"Something's wrong...
