Fade

Does it fade?

Pain. Terror. Horror. Uncertainty.
Fear. Sadness. Loneliness. Desperation.

That hollow ache inside when the absolute worst happens

& there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.

Does it fade?

Is that what happens?
Is that how we survive?

Or do we just become so numb that even

one more thing can't affect us...can't touch us

inside because inside is just cold and empty.

The characters in our game have

suffered and lost, time after time.

Some of them disappear.
Some of them die.

Some of them find a well of hope

that maybe things can get better.

Tomorrow...if we can just

make it until tomorrow.

I think I know how that feels.
