Исход

Can you live in lies? This ghost town – the place that haunted me, that created me. It became perfectly clear that I will never outgrow Triple Falls and will not forget what I experienced here. I still feel them... all – my guys from that summer. Even understanding the danger, I willingly surrendered. I ignored every warning. I allowed my illness, my love, to control me and ruin me. I played my role, fully aware and tempting fate until it did its work. And I never even thought about running away. We are all guilty of what happened and are serving our punishment. We acted irresponsibly and frivolously, thinking that our youth makes us invincible, freeing us from the burden of our sins. And we paid for it. I grew tired of pretending that I didn’t leave my soul between these hills and valleys, in the forest thicket that keeps my secrets. That’s why I returned. To reconcile with my fate. If I can't mourn my past enough and heal, I will continue to suffer. Such will be my curse. But the time has come to admit – more to myself than to others – that I gave up my future because of who I became and because of the men who contributed to it. Right now, I just want to reconcile with my essence and forget about the ending that awaits me. Because I can no longer live in lies.
