*6 months later*

Lachlan's gone.

The police have looked everywhere. They searched the state. They searched the country. They searched in Australia. Nowhere.

He's completely gone.

I explored what remained of my home. All I found was a blood stain on a couch cushion in the destroyed basement. 

He's gone.

I've stopped recording. I don't talk to anyone. I can't. It'll remind me of him. I neglect showering and eating in this tiny apartmenmt. The bags under my eyes are boldly dark. I've developed the beginnings of a beard. I can't do anything anymore.

He's too far gone.

I resist sleeping because the nightmares are too severe. I see him. In that tunnel. And every time I run to him. And every time I fall down into nothingness. The nothingness is the life I live. 

Without him I am nothing.

He's gone.

I have nothing to do but repeat it.

He's gone.

He's gone.

He's gone.

He gone and I'm nothing...
