I can still hear their voices. So loud. So loud.

Calling. Crying. Screaming out to me.

Every second grows harder.

My desire is to listen.

But.

I can not let that happen.

If I give in.

I will.

Fall.

Back into that dark pit.

Go around and around in circles.

I do not want to go there.

The static is not thick enough anymore.

I can not drown out the noise.

Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

I feel myself weakening.

But, I refuse to go back.
