A/N: Hey guys! I said and I thought I won't post anything until after graduation, but an idea popped into my head and I couldn't let it go, so here it is. Please review! :3


Pressure

Summary: Christian's thoughts on societal constraints.

Perspective: 1st person, Christian Ozera POV



All those stares. All those whispers. They are like drops of water that corrode my heart, bit by bit chipping away at the defenses I thought I had built up and strengthened.

I thought I was strong; I thought I was better than all of them. In the end, I gave in to the weakness that has plagued all of them; I succumbed to the rules that bound all of them.

I wish to break free from all of it, for her. But if even she is bound, if even she succumbs to the whisperings, who am I to fight?
