The soft glow of the fairy lights strung around the room created a cozy ambiance, and a smile played on Noah’s lips as he sat back against his pillows. He was in the middle of a good book, and his favorite band was playing softly in the background. His world was full of the simple pleasures that he adored. He felt like he could stay there forever. He reached for his journal, intending to write about it.

The journal was on the floor next to his roommate’s bed, the cover open. A cold feeling washed over him as he saw a sentence he’d written about his private fears highlighted in yellow. His roommate, Alex, started to whistle, quickly stopping as Noah looked up.
