Shalini stood by the lone window in her room, staring at the road below, even though her eyes seemed to be trained on something in the distance. The city was abuzz with life, cars honking, people entering and exiting stores- but for Shalini, it felt as if the world wasn’t moving at all.

It took time to start- a faint echo here, a shadow moving there. In the initial stages, it was easy to dismiss these. “Stress”, thought Shalini. However, as time progressed, the voices grew louder and the shadows darker.
