KESTER.

I went for a run. Something I hadn't done outside the confines of my home gym in

a long time. But today, it felt like the whole house was closing in on me, and I needed a breath of fresh air.

I ran until my lungs burned, until the early morning air felt like razor against my skin, until the world blurred into nothing.
