Learning The Truth
As the sun began to set you could see the stars coming into play as the sky turned beautiful hues of reds and oranges. Shadows start to come you could hear the shallow breathing only to see a young girl no older than fifteen sitting at the base of an ancient oak tree. Her head slightly tilted down as the branches seemingly tried to hide her within the shadows. Looking up into the branches of the tree only to look toward the sun set. You could see her eyes shine with unshed tears of pain.
"…Beautiful…" She said in a haunting whisper. Pulling her knees up to her chest She looked at the setting sun. All was silent nothing moved as though time it self froze. Wondering what it could be that upset this girl…Not expecting to hear her answer your unspoken question….
"..No one ever cared…." She said in a haunting tone that seemed to echo all around…. "…no one ever listened…" "No one could see past my mask to see the real me…." "They thought I was weak…That I wasn't much help…well at least some tried to help…I just never let them…always locked them away wearing a mask to reassure them….but now I regret it…I've been replaced…by him….for the living dead…"
