Observation
The masks have fused to their faces. Their laughter echoes without meaning. And their hands grasp at anything that will dull the emptiness. But I still carry this hollow, lifeless weight. It was once real, once warm. My cerebrum whispers that it’s already gone, that I should cast it into the mud and join them. But if I do…then I surrender what little is left of me. So I cling to it, feeling the decay seep into my skin and my soul peel away.

Revision
This was my child, my tether to the light, the last flicker of something real. Now, the Mask's madness too loud to overcome.
