City of Dreams
I seem to have stumbled upon something peculiar. A young man had gone missing recently. In a population of thousands, I wondered what is it about this youth that had so many figures riddled with unease. Even the lovely Miss Kim had expressed concern over his whereabouts and Nefretari's son assisted in the searching. Who could inspire such a communal panic? What makes a city wring its hands in a collective anxiety?
Were I to have vanished, would it only have been with a sigh of a breeze? A presence missed as only so much dust on the wind?
Dues Ex Machina has entered a slump in sales lately. My dearest Remy is a Godsend but even then, I feel perhaps she is distracted by something.
My heart's ache for love has not been quelled, but it has been subdued. For now, my entire being wishes for something else. Some nameless thing I cannot quite seem to label that has been inspired by this boy's disappearance.
As if I could name it if I knew it. My throat has gone quite dry again, my voice has gone. If I try to speak, it comes only as a harsh, reedy hiss.
There are so many questions. But all I hear in return: Is silence.
