I closed my eyes and let out a shuddering breath. My fingers were numb and cold, my arm aching where the needle pierced the vein. Something clattered onto the pavement, and I looked down to see the needle. It had slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. There was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. There's always someone else to beat or rape. The regulars would move on quickly. I died. Only...wasn't death supposed to be dark? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

I clutched my head, desperate to break free from the nightmare's grip, but the relentless tide of terror refused to abate. It seeped into the deepest corners of my heart, slowly eroding my control.
Falling to my knees, I began to weep, the tears hot and silent against my skin. Images flickered around me like growing flames, fragments of the past and future, memories and premonitions blending into a chaotic kaleidoscope. Without Haven's calming presence to temper my ability, I was rapidly losing control.
"What the hell, R'lissea? Get away from that thing!"
