Hi. I’m Pete. The light out there, on the other side of the invisible glass, is unbearably bright. Every step I take toward it is incredibly difficult. The outside world blinds, deafens, and frightens me with its strange rules that I don’t understand. But out there, somewhere, there must be a window of hope that will lead me to other people. One page, and another. One foot before the other. I am here, I’m not there. I’ll reach the light, stair by stair.
