Are ya'll still with me?
6
Five more years passed.
I was becoming restless.
Bored.
Jake had aged quickly.
Guess I drained him of too much energy.
He looked haggard.
I still looked young.
Though I knew I was fading from the inside.
I needed a change.
Maybe a new town?
Being in a small town had its perks.
Everyone is friendly.
Everyone cares.
Everyone knows all about you.
Or, at least they think they do.
Perhaps I should try a big city?
The pain is getting harder to bear.
Harder to ignore.
