In the quiet suburbs of a small town in the 1990s, a young boy named Tommy began experiencing excruciating migraines that plagued him day and night. At first, his parents dismissed his complaints as nothing more than childhood ailments, but as time passed, the migraines only grew worse.

Doctors struggled to find a diagnosis, prescribing countless medications and treatments in a desperate attempt to alleviate Tommy's suffering. But no matter what they tried, the pain persisted, a relentless drumbeat that echoed in his skull with each passing moment.

As the years went by, Tommy's condition worsened, his once bright eyes dimming with the weight of his agony. He withdrew from the world around him, lost in a fog of pain and confusion that seemed to stretch on for eternity.

Days blurred into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years, until Tommy no longer knew where he ended and the pain began. He wandered the halls of his parents' house like a ghost, trapped in a prison of his own making, his mind a shattered mirror reflecting fragments of a life long gone.

To Tommy, time became an elusive concept, a distant memory lost in the haze of his suffering. In his mind, he was still a nine-year-old boy, his thoughts frozen in the innocence of childhood while his body withered away with each passing day.

And so, at the age of thirty-four, Tommy remained trapped in a prison of pain, his existence a cruel mockery of the life he had once known. And as the shadows closed in around him, he could only wonder if the nightmares that haunted his dreams would ever release their grip, or if he would remain lost in the darkness forever.
