I don't want a valuable life lesson! I just want an ice cream.


The room was closng in on me. I need to escape. I need to breath. 

But I can’t. 

Bile rose in my throat; calm down. 

The room. The walls. Closer. 

My eyes burned with tears. It’s not real, its not real, I lied.

Closer.

I crammed my knees to my chin, wrapping my arms around them. Pretend its a hug. 

Closer. 

I screamed, the deafening silence slowly driving me to insanity.
