*This story has strong language and themes of suicide and self-harm* “Well, that went well,” Shauna said as if she didn’t know what I would say next.

I looked around the room and I could barely make out the blandest bedroom I had ever seen in my life. Whoever lived here had an obsession with dark grey. The curtains were in a smokey grey shade and were closed, keeping the room dark and soulless. The duvet and pillow under me were both also in some kind of shade of grey. There was a weird smell that lingered around the room. It was ...
