The world swam as Ben walked through the front door. The house felt oddly small, the air thick with the smell of his mother's cooking. He wanted nothing more than to curl up on the couch and be swallowed by the cushions.

"You look beat, honey," his father said, patting him on the back. Ben offered a weak smile, fighting the urge to lean on his dad for support.

He navigated to the living room, his legs feeling like they were wading through molasses. The couch beckoned. He sank into it, the plush fabric instantly proving irresistible. His eyelids felt heavy, his mind a blank expanse. The television droned on in the background, but he couldn't grasp the meaning of anything.

He closed his eyes, wanting to escape the constant pull of the world. He wanted the blackness.
