A respite in shadow

"The entire world felt like a shallow grave, and I simply couldn't bear the pressure any longer. I grew claustrophobic and violent, frantically trying to claw my way to the glassy surface. This ocean of humanity was trying to drag me under, to drown me, and I feared it would inevitably succeed. When I finally came to the far edge of sanity, something stirred in the darkness. In desperation I reached out, and against all rationality and hope, I felt an echo in the stillness. I heard your heart beating, and in that moment I knew...you were in the darkness with me..."

Loneliness kills and it is good to have somebody who will understand us...
The entire narrative is well-penned making the readers almost feel the desperation of the character.
Keep it up and keep sharing your work....:)
