Chapter 8

  • I awoke before dawn, sunlight yet to touch the studio windows.

  • The city outside remained still and peaceful. It was a world that believed my absence was voluntary, a reprieve, a quiet intermission between seasons. But I knew better. I understood the storm gathering beyond these walls and the way it would break against the structure I had carefully erected from silence and strategy.
