Crying.
Someone wailing.
Loud, uninterrupted sobs.
I search for the sufferer.
Their anguish is growing; torment escalates.
I look around wildly, desperate to help.
And then, abruptly, the incessant cries just stop.
And I realize the person weeping brokenly was me.

This is just something I wrote from a journal prompt - You start with a one-word sentence then two-word, etc. and you see how far you can go. Hope you like it!
