The Journey
The silence of lonely paths
And fighting the fear of your memory
Is how I have known journeys to be
What to say of that journey

Victim
Where am I? What just happened? I don’t understand. I clenched my fists, pressed them into the bed and sat up straight. I ran my hand over my sweat-soaked face. Raghu went into the kitchen and got me a glass of water. I drank slowly, and splashed a little onto my face.
