You felt like you had died.

It felt like your mind had been buried deep within the Earth, in the center of the burning core. But as your mind traverses deeper and deeper into the hell of your mind, your body stays on the surface. Your body remains still, lifeless, cold. You don’t even notice when Rudy walked through the door. You sit motionless at the dinner table, staring into space. You barely remember why you were there in the first place. Your head hurts. So much.
