With a loud pop only achievable with a large textbook, Vincent closed his English book. He had been struggling to find the motivation to complete the assignment that was due in only a few hours, but he could not find a single reason for doing so. Vince sighed and leaned back in his chair. "I'll just do it later." he mumbled to himself. With that, he closed his eyes to burn time before his class, his music lost clarity and dissipated. In the darkness behind his eyes, Vincent heard what seemed to be laughing, it had an echoy feel to it, as if he was in a very large room. He knew that laugh, it had plagued him for so long now he wasn't even cre

Sound flows through the room, creating brilliant patterns throughout my consciousness A memory I never had appears from nowhere, yet it strikes harder than one that is mine Living for a moment, through someone else's eyes
