anxiety

In the bustling city of Boston, where Puritanical values hung as heavily as the New England fog, lived a young man named Elliot. Elliot was a direct descendant of one of the most infamous figures in Boston's history, Hester Prynne. Yet unlike his resilient ancestor, he too bore a scarlet letter. But his was not sewn onto his clothes, it was etched into his soul. It stood not for 'Adulteress', but for 'Anxiety'. Elliot was cursed with crippling apprehension, a constant and merciless tormentor. His anxiety drove him to lead a secluded life, one devoid of companionship save for the company of his books.
