Shireen approached the bench slowly. She’d been told to go there by someone in a dream which eluded her. All she could recall was the urgency of the voice, its quiet authority. It wasn’t a question of choice, she knew.
Loneliness was the thing Shireen understood beyond all else. The voice had commanded her to face the void before her.
She faced the surging greyness, and let it wash over her.
Things took shape as she watched. Something arose out of the waters.
She was alone no more.
And she was lonelier than ever.
