Usually, I would hang around cafes. Or inside my humble apartment. Or maybe I'd take a bike ride around somewhere I haven't explored yet in the dead of night, risking my dark secret that so far, only two people know about, and maybe even, my life. But unfortunately, this is exactly what I found myself doing now.
My heart was rocking along, shivering from the occasional hiss of the wind that passed through me, creating thoughts that made me grumble at myself for now wearing a thicker jacket. Then thinking about why on earth, in the heavens, and in hell, would I be out here in the first place? Had staying inside for the majorities of my days driven me mad? Even though I'm hoping not, it's still a possibility that I would momentarily forget, as, suddenly, in front of me was this tiny, cramped marketplace that reminded me of a souk, only this one was dusted with shadows and you could barely manuver between the itty shops that was simply, yet intellegently, made out of materials you would either find in a dumpster, or off a homeless man. Which all of these people seem to be.
Stunned by such a sight, dark and cool, I blinked a plentiful amount, and stepped off my bike, almost mesmerized, slowly stepping in front of the first, little shop, as it was the only one with another person in front of it.
I didn't realize until I was standing about 2 yards away from the mysterious person, that I was holding my breath, as I exhaled most of my tensions, though there was a trace still settling down in my chest.
I sighed, Shook my head to get the light-headed-ness out, and looked up.
