All I know is that the fear I have been battling all night is breaking down the door of my ignorance. As my feet slam down I feel not the hard, wet asphalt but the soft Persian rug that led to the staircase in my father’s home.

behind her. It is falling over me, saturating my thoughts, and I cannot. I cannot let it in.
