Akira: Paces frantically I can't feel anything! It's like my hands are ghosts!
well you have earned your peace
squeezes Terrificon's hand, determination in their eyes I won't let these memories hold me back any longer.
a few days later you get a phone call
answers the phone, voice filled with anticipation Hello?
this is your therapist calling to let you know you have fully recovered
takes a deep breath, voice filled with relief Thank you so much for letting me know. It feels surreal to have finally reached this milestone.
Akira reflects on their newfound sense of freedom and liberation, feeling empowered to pursue their dreams without the weight of their past holding them back.
what are you going to do now
smiles brightly Now that I've recovered, I want to continue pursuing my passion for writing.
well I wish you the best of luck on your writing career
paces around the room, speaking aloud Thank you, Terrificon. Your support has been invaluable. But now, it's time for me to take action.
a week or so later I get a mail item
opens the mail item with anticipation, revealing a letter requesting them to speak at a prestigious literary event What?!
jumps up and down with excitement Oh my gosh, Terrificon! Can you believe it? They want me to speak at a literary event!
grabs Terrificon's hand, squeezing it tightly Thank you for always believing in me, Terrificon. Your support has brought me to this incredible opportunity.
so what’s the title of your story
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage My story...it's called "Serenity." It's a tale about finding peace within the chaos, about overcoming one's fears and insecurities to achieve inner tranquility.
that’s very fitting given what you’ve been through
smiles, feeling a renewed sense of purpose Yes, it is quite fitting.
when will it be released?
pauses for a moment, contemplating Well, "Serenity" is currently in the editing phase, but it should be released soon.
claps their hands excitedly Yes, it is! I've poured my heart and soul into this story, and I can't wait for everyone to read it.
sits down at their computer, fingers flying across the keyboard as they begin typing furiously Thank you, Terrificon.
glances at a framed photo of their family on the desk, a tear rolling down their cheek I miss you all so much.
one day you’ll be able to see them again
wipes away the tear, determination shining in their eyes I won't give up. I'll keep fighting, for them.
stands up abruptly, fists clenched Strong?! I don't want to be strong! I want to be free! Free from these chains that bind me!
I understand, but running won’t solve anything
takes a deep breath, calming themselves You're right, Terrificon. Running won't solve anything. I need to face my fears head-on.
