A chill wind whispers through skeletal trees, their branches clawing at a sky choked with ash. The sun, a dying ember in the heavens, casts long, distorted shadows that dance and writhe like tormented spirits.

The mirror on the wall, once gleaming with potential, now reflected a dimmed image, shadowed by the weight of unfulfilled desires.

Longing hung heavy in the air, a suffocating reminder of the paths not taken. A single sheet of music lay crumpled on the floor, its notes now forgotten. It was a symphony of a life that had been, a melody drowned in the cacophony of regret.

There is no escape from its grasp
