>The house really does feel empty without her...
>She left a few days ago, not even a goodbye, just simply packed up her things, and let the wind take her.
>My wife is still in shambles, Naser and I haven't spoken.
>And I sit in my chair, alone, looking at my throphy collection, a glass of whiskey in hand.
>Another fiery gulp, which eases my thoughts.
>"Look at what you've done."
>The voice startles me, I look around to see if it's Naser, but no one is home besides me...
>"Alright, show yourself!"
>I shout, no home intruder is going to scare me
>"I'm here."
>The voice isn't far, it's close.
>I look in it's direction, only to be meet with my kills...their dead eyes staring into me.
>But, I notice one of them is different
>One of them that I didn't carve
>It's him
>"You've broken your family, and for what?"
>I grimace, am I already drunk?
>"There is no one to blame here but yourself!"
>My hand phases through the carved head, no matter how much I try and rip it from the wall, it isn't there
>"You wanted to safeguard your daughter, and look at what you did, who knows what she is doing now, think you'll ever see her again?"
>"You're just a figment of imagination, leave me alone!"
>"Figment? Oh, I assure you, I am very real"
>I clutch my head, feeling my brain thump against my skull.
>No matter how many swigs I take from the bottle, the voice doesn't stop, it just keeps going, and going, and going.
>"And what about your son? I was his friend."
>"A friend? You're nothing but a pest! You and the rest of your kind!"
>My heart is racing, and it feels like my brain is going to explode from my skull.
>That featureless face, that sly grin, that same one he had plastered on his face when he looked at my daughter.
>"I did her a favor! Cutting you out of her life! You'd be nothing but a bad influence!"
>"How would you know? After all, you never even gave me a chance."
>I throw the empty bottle of alcohol, it shatters against the wall, and yet, it's all in vain
