Summary
Alexander’s chest rose up and down, breathless. His throat was painful and raw, his muscles sore from cramping and exertion. He sat down on the floor, closing his eyes to make the black spots in his vision disappear. He felt miserable.
He looked down at his ankle monitor, then around at his narrow apartment he couldn’t escape from. At least it was better than being behind bars, he told himself. He could have panic attacks in peace here, at least.

Summary
"Detachment. Characterized as the state of being emotionally distant from your surroundings. Also clinically known as derealization. It can further be described as feeling like an outsider to one’s life, watching as an observer the grand play that unfolds. Like a ghost floating above, you are not yourself anymore. You’re detached."
Since the death of his mother, Alexander has always felt disconnected from his life, detached. Like floating, stranded, in a cold, vast ocean. But what if someone suddenly showed up, disrupting the life he made for himself?
