The path wound its way through a chasm, ever narrowing. An oppressive hush settled upon the air, broken only by the distant sounds of a world long gone. The sunlight struggled to penetrate the darkening canopy above, casting long shapes that danced like phantoms on the ground. Forward progress was a test, as if the very ground itself was opposing.

Every glimpse was fragmented, making it hard to separate reality from illusion. Was I following something, or were we both lost?

• 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 seemed to distort

The Ache of Unfulfilled Longing
