Somber

This feeling consumes you in a gray daze, as though you are wearing sunglasses on a rainy day. Everything around you seems empty, or like cardboard cutouts of real life. You are sucked inward, wondering about things you don’t normally think about or notice. One example of this may involve you counting the number of smashed cigarettes on the side of the road or remembering the first time you ever got into trouble at school, but never understanding why.
