Every creak of the building, every distant elevator chime, sent a jolt through me. Is that him?

I looked up and saw a black umbrella shielding me from the downpour. I turned around to see who was holding it. Standing there was a man dressed entirely in black.

I’m not sure everything was going to be alright anymore. By the time I drag my feet out of the cafe and into the street my tummy is rumbling heavily, I haven’t even had anything to eat all day. I walk all the way home because I spent my last money going for an interview to be someone’s wife. And when I almost get the job I run out because I thought Jess was texting to give me the money for my rent. How pathetic of me. My feet an entire body is hurting when I round the corner to my apartment, the weather is already freezing cold and my tank top is doing nothing to protect me from it.

It was somewhat strange to me that while I had a growing hollowness trying to swallow me inside, these people moved about utterly oblivious to what was happening around them.
