Midnight Roots

When I moved to Ironhaven I thought that things would get better, and for a while they did.
I managed to find work on a ranch, see the world for what it really was and not from the horrors that I remembered.
But the terrors came back, only in the guise of nightmares instead of walking daydreams.
Until I saw her.
Until I wanted her.

I have to convince her that I’m not a bad guy.
I have to convince her to give me a chance.
That talking to strangers isn’t the worst thing that could happen.
Ignoring them is.
