Mafia Kings: Adriano: Chapter 96

For a long time, there was only darkness.

There wasn’t anything to see… but I felt like I was moving from room to room, wandering in a maze of shadows.

Occasionally faces would appear like ghosts –

The faces of people I loved.

My mother…

My father…

Adriano.

Him most of all.

The face that I loved.

And there were voices.

Small and far away, but I heard them…

And I tried to follow them through the maze.

Several I didn’t recognize…

But several I did.

Again, my mother’s…

My father’s…

And Adriano’s.

His was the voice that I followed the most…

And the one I most wanted to find.

I could have let go if it had just been my parents.

I had known them all my life, and it would have been alright if I had just drifted away.

But Adriano…

I wanted him.

And I’d only had him such a short time.

So I keep moving, and searching, and fumbling my way through the darkness…

Until I saw the first glimmer of light.
