Escape Part 1.

I've read about people retreating into their minds when faced with hardships or pain. Creating an alternate reality in their consciousness, a safe place to escape reality. I used to think such people were weak for being unable to cope. However as time has passed the idea of vanishing from reality and finding a self-created utopia has become more and more appealing. Still as long as I could cope with reality I intended to. Until last night.

I snapped. It's almost as if the world instantly blurred. I saw things through a haze, murky and unrecognizable objects loomed as the world changed around me. Before things even began to refocus I knew something was wrong.
