CXXIV: Powerlessness

As she laid and watched the statues get closer, her thoughts drifted to an instance in her old world, where something similar to this had happened. She remembered one time when she was ten, she had gotten lost in the apartment building she and her mother were living in.

Standing in a hallway, a man had come to help her. She knew this man, he was her neighbor, a very nice man that was always kind to her mother and her. Seeing him, the fear that had settled into Judith's heart instantly disappeared.

She couldn't have been happier to see a familiar and kind face. But not long after seeing this face, her happiness had overturned into horror. His face...his face, as it went further away and came closer to hers with intervals of seconds, each of this motion being accompanied by extreme pain.
