Not One

Ochako falls down into an endless abyss.

Sleepless nights following her since she could remember, Ochako's fatigue would continue to grow. The time of rest became a time of reflecting.

Another day of disappointment brings out every regret. Every night she would return to the dark place.

One more time she closed her eyes and found herself in a familiar scenario. Falling down into a pitch black, unpleasant abyss.

Devoid of shades, shapes and sounds other than her muffled voice, a black hole not letting anything out of its pull.

Falling down the bottomless chasm, Ochako's terrified call for help would not reach anyone, as the fall would continue to distance herself from the surface.

But then, suddenly, it was gone. Ochako opened her eyes to see herself back at the surface.

After that day, the scenario would repeat.

The demons of yesterday haven't filled their hunger yet. Feeding on her regrets, she would be sent to fall down again.

She would scream for help, but her friends didn't hear.

Not one.

The End
