Chapter 8 Dark Winter

Empath-The Feeler

All good things come to an end.

Empath had heard the saying, but whether or not it was true, she couldn’t tell at that time. At least not in the whiteness at the end of the tunnel that she had kept running towards. She imagined some sort of blissful meadow at the end of it, but in reality, December 2015 was the beginning of one of the darkest eras of her life.

Dani had his professional degree final exams in November 2015. He had alerted Empath that he would soon be putting all his phone applications on hold for social detoxification and divert all his focus and energy to his Finals. So by late September, they ended their last phone conversation bading a short goodbye for a month and a half to each other. Empath wasn’t really bothered by it for about eighteen hours, until she got a sinking feeling by the next day.
