After that phone call, she felt exhausted. No, not really. She felt void of the actual feelings. Why does she have to talk to a stranger on the phone? Why does she feels excitement though she knows it is not proper to feel that way? Why flirt with another man?

It’s been a few months. She bumped into this stranger in one of those chat rooms. It was an exhilirating feeling to ‘type with’ a human being for the first time. The interaction was amazing. And then one night, she found herself chatting with the stranger again. Chatting and indulging.

Thanks for the inner sense we call conscience. She literally began to weigh things as she becomes indulged with the stranger. It’s conscience that impelled her to feel ‘weighty’ and start feeling empty.
