-Bob Dylan-
***
It has been nearly two months since Karina left and even with the best force he had, Eden still couldn’t find her. The desperation was driving him crazy.
Slowly, it began to take a toll on his health. Eden Black was a man who was rarely sick. He had the immune of a bull. However, even rain could break down concrete given time and so was he.
