Dark Isolation

Turning on the television just made matters worse. Live broadcasts on the television and on social media channels were not difficult to find and I could watch the situation in front of my office building. It had been a while since I got home but the crowd had not thinned and there were no signs of anyone coming out of the building to address the crowd. The building’s security team was present to control the situation but that was it.

I wondered if Ace was still in the office or if he had managed to use another exit to make his way out. Usually, Ace wouldn’t panic over something like this, but his tone of voice revealed that this matter had shaken him and that made me even more worried than usual. I knew by that time that I was a pro at overthinking and getting paranoid about everything; however, the sickening feeling that developed in the pit of my stomach told me that there was something lurking beneath the surface that no one knew about.
