Different Lives

Shepard

Quiet, awkward, and just plain uncomfortable; that was how Luna Skylar Shepard felt as she laid down in her wrecked and old bed.

God, I hate this mattress. She thought as she shifted uncomfortably around, trying to get the least bit comfortable. The springs were poking at her back and the ripped blanket provided no warmth at all!

Luna finally found little comfort in her bed, but was agitated. She growled and threw her pillow across the room.

"Ow! Who threw that?!" One of the Orphans yelled. Luna gasped and shrunk underneath her covers. She heard footsteps coming closer to her bed, and felt someone nudge her arm. "Keep your stuff on your side of the room!" The kid yelled and stormed off.

Luna felt discouraged and shrunk into her sheets more, trying to hide in her own fear. She brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, slowly and cramped sleep.
