The clock ticked endlessly in a monotonous manner.
Seconds soon became minutes, minutes became hours…
Two black eyes stared endlessly. They were empty of emotion as they questioned the reality of the moment. A breeze crept in through an open window bringing her messy black hair to life. Her shoulders were bare. Behind her the door stood ajar. A bed stood empty, unable to tell what it had experienced. It stood naked, stripped of its pail sheets. The floor was littered with the pillows and blankets. Further along were garments left in a disarray of the previous hours of the day. Question answered - a tear slid down her cheek. I attempted to wipe the tear away, but my hand felt the coldness of the mirror in front of me.
Hanging my head, hiding from the piercing eyes I brought my hands to my belly. I examined my chocolate cream complexion. Avoiding many more unanswered questions, I turned and retreated into the room. Pain seared through my joints as I staggered on to my bed.
I lay motionless in a fetal position. Drained of energy. Drained of emotion. Giving up, I released my clutches on consciousness and slowly slowly slowly slipped away…
