Chapter 2: Darkness in broad daylight

Somedays you wake up and realize, these days are like no other. The ocean is hissing in your face and the last of the anchors keeping you on top of the waves has just been cut by forces beyond reason. You do not have a map, nor do you see the stars which help you navigate. There is a pole star, that much you know. You've seen its shimmer and felt its clarity. But you are closer to the waves than to the stars. Days come and leave. People come. Then leave. You walk into the burning sun, but its so dark you need lightning just to see. Some days you wake up and realize you're in perfect darkness. The dream never ended. You woke into darkness in broad daylight.
