Fics like To Warm The Cold And Hollow Places

“I never really sleep anymore,” Occtis hears himself saying. He tastes salt on his lips as he speaks, and it tastes how food used to. “I close my eyes and four hours passes in a blink, but I don’t feel rested. I’m surprised by my reflection in mirrors, but I’ve almost stopped flinching from the self I don’t recognize. I’m not hungry but I need to eat, otherwise my mind slows and my body begins to fall apart. What I eat I can barely taste. I can’t decide what I miss the most, the feeling of being rested or the satisfaction that comes from eating a good meal.” Occtis tries to stop speaking, but one more phrase makes it out on the last of his breath. “There’s a hollow place where my heart was, and it’s always cold.” ---- Occtis tries to come to terms with his new (un) life.
