The city hummed with a frenetic energy, a symphony of electric signs blazing against the inky backdrop. Each flickering bulb cast dancing shadows, highlighting secrets whispered only in the silence between the cacophony. Here, within this pulsing heart of urban madness, I pursued something more: ghosts lost among the glamour. Their presence, a phantom chill beneath my skin, a whisper of legends long buried.

A Lament for Lost Innocence

The scars of reality run deep, leaving minds heavy with the toll of what has been shattered. A whisper of longing remains, a trace of the beauty that once filled our days. Yet, even in this despair, a flicker of determination persists. A reminder that while innocence may be waning, the resilient spirit can find ways to mend.

Fear, raw and primal, clawed at me from the depths of my being.

This descent into delirium was a journey without guides, a labyrinth with no exit. The only constant was the pulsating in my head, a relentless drum solo backed by the cacophony of my own broken mind.
