The route wound its way through a ravine, ever narrowing. An oppressive stillness settled upon the air, broken only by the distant echoes of a world lost. The sunlight struggled to penetrate the darkening canopy above, casting long figures that danced like phantoms on the earth below. Forward progress was a struggle, as if the very ground itself was resisting. The air grew oppressive, laden with the scent of rot.

• A sense of dread my soul
• The world outside

I sensed as if the trees themselves were reaching out, grasping at me with their deadly embrace. The way ahead was lost, swallowed by the void.

Dreams Deferred

• The journey stands empty, bound by the fetters of unattained goals.

Elegy for Lost Innocence

Like fragile flowers, we flutter through a landscape painted with the scars of time. Even within the darkness, a flicker through hope lingers.

Every reflection was fragmented, making it hard to tell reality from illusion. Was I following something, or was it chasing me?

• Eerie whispers seemed to emanate from the walls themselves
• {With each turn, I felt closer|I was trapped in a vortex of glass and shadows|Time itself ceased to exist
• Did I glimpse a pale face?
