Eerie Indiana Drabble: Understanding

[froodle]

At the first mention of a fake world Marshall had felt a rushing sensation of icy coldness, as though someone had thrown freezing water on him. Now, as the rest of the conversation ebbed and flowed about him, he remained stuck, tangled in the sudden sick feeling that knotted in his stomach.

A hand touched him lightly on the shoulder, and he turned to see Andrea watching him.

"Hey," she said. "You doing okay?"

He forced a smile.

"Fine," he said weakly.

"It's alright," she whispered. "I see them too. The gaps. Places where edges don't meet, and reality frays."
