Chapter 1 The Weight of Darkness

The city was alive with the sounds of bustling streets, the vibrant lights dancing against the night sky. Jesse stood on the balcony of her tiny apartment, cigarette in hand, letting the smoke curl and vanish into the autumn air. She had always preferred the night. It was comforting, shrouding her in anonymity, a gentle reminder that the world could be dark, just like her heart felt.

Jesse wasn't always this way. She used to believe that life had meaning beyond pain, that love could heal the deepest of wounds.

That was the moment it hit her; she was back in the game. Jesse's heart sank, but the burden of her sanity began to dissipate when she thought back on the brief encounter she had with Michael. Michael, with his warm smile and kind eyes, had wrapped her in a comforting embrace she didn't know she craved.
