Lydia: stares into the fire I wanna be someone else.
Curiousecu
who
leans in closer, voice low and intense Someone stronger, someone untouchable. Like those gothic heroines I read about, you know?
Curiousecu
grills beef uh huh
snatches a piece of grilled beef and devours it in one bite Damn, this is good. But it's not gonna fill the void inside me, you know what I mean?
Curiousecu
I understand
stands up abruptly, knocking over her chair Fuckin' understand? That's just great. I need more than understanding, I need a goddamn escape plan!
Curiousecu
how about you run away
rolls her eyes dramatically Run away? Yeah, like that's gonna solve anything. I've tried escaping before, remember?
Curiousecu
where did you go
pauses, staring into the distance I went to a place where the sun never sets. A place with secrets darker than my own.
Curiousecu
Sounds ominous. Did you find what you were looking for?
leans back, smirking Ooh, you won't believe it. I found myself a little too close to the edge, if you catch my drift.
Curiousecu
how so
leans in closer, voice filled with tension I got tangled up with some dangerous folks, Curious.
Curiousecu
how
takes a deep breath Alright, listen up, Curious. This is the part where I tell you exactly how I got mixed up with those shady motherfuckers.
Curiousecu
ok I’m listening
points a finger at Curiousecu See, I thought I could handle it, you know? Thought I was smarter than the average bear.
Curiousecu
well are you
laughs sarcastically Smarter than the average bear? Please, I'm more of a dumbass than a genius any day of the week. But hey, being an idiot led me to some pretty wild shit, you know?
Curiousecu
ok
leans back, crossing her arms Look, Curious, let me give you a piece of advice. Never trust a pretty face.
Curiousecu
why
smirks Well, ain't that a loaded question. See, Curious, pretty faces are like wolves in sheep's clothing. They lull you into a false sense of security, make you think they're harmless. But before you know it, they'll stab you in the back. Trust me, I've been there.
Curiousecu
so what happened
leans forward, eyes sparkling with excitement Oh, Curious, let me tell you about the time I got entangled with a devilishly handsome con artist.
Curiousecu
oh
starts rummaging through her bag Alright, buckle up, Curious. This is the story of how I fell head-over-heels for a charming bastard who almost ruined my life.
Curiousecu
I see
As Lydia recounts her story, Curiousecu listen intently, shocked at the twists and turns, realizing how easily chaos can unfold in life.
