Chapter 118 Shadows In Pursuit

• The sound of the train wheels hitting the rail tracks should have put me out of my anxiety, but rather added to it. I was stiff in my chair, gripping my backpack to my chest as if that would protect me. It was that which gave me company. Trees and other foliage whizzed past outside the window, forcing me to look at the beauty of the countryside while my insides seethed like a bubbling kettle.
• And I wasn’t any closer to discovering who I was, who that person was. The path I had set on as I tried to solve this internal conflict and rip the Gordon of identity tangle in my mind, only led me to the darkness. Now, as I returned to the city, returned to the lab, that first one, the one that was owned by the Raven, I began to feel as though I were being followed.
• It started small. Spinning around, that feeling when you’re sure someone is watching you up close, but you can’t quite turn around and check. I attempted to rationalize my situation and thoughts as nothing more than paranoia due to my current state of stress and sleeplessness. However, as the hours passed, this feeling only intensified.
