Nothing: A Manic Expression Story

by James Daniel Walsh

From his earliest memories, Timothy was haunted by a shadowy figure he came to call Nothing. Always just at the edge of sight, patient and unrelenting, Nothing stayed with the young painter through the chaotic blaze of adolescence. Through the brief, luminous promise of first love, and into the quiet collapse that followed, Nothing was always there. Friends drifted away. Dreams soured. But Nothing lingered, waiting a lifetime for Timothy to lose everything so it can claim his remains.
