Today, Tomorrow, and Yesterday
Dark

Rosette hated the dark.
That night seemed to be just like any other night in the summer; the sun lowering itself more slowly than in the other seasons, everything slowing down along with it, a silent calm settling over the land. Every living creature would settle down in their homes, settling down for an easy sleep so they were rested and ready for the next day when the sun came back.
There was no moon out.
Yes, Rosette truly hated the dark. It always made her feel alone, disjointed from the world, as if she needed something and was unable to get it. Oh, some of those painful nights could be filled, sneaking into her brother's room and him smiling gently at her before they both fell asleep, her loneliness appeased. But other nights. . .
Her nightlight didn't phase the blackness.
Her parents had actually chuckled at her asking for a nightlight, hoping that it would help a bit when going to Joshua didn't work. She had burned a burgundy colour that day, but a soft, understanding smile from her brother calmed her down enough. He understood. Their parents never seemed to; they were good parents, but Rosette never seemed to be able to confide in them, to tell them her worries. As if someone else was supposed to fit that role. But that person wasn't present, and so Rosette had to keep floundering, hoping that they would come and pull her out.
Why did she feel so alone. . .?
Sobbing quietly, Rosette pulled her purple comforter up to her chin, trying to keep the darkness at bay. Hoping, praying, that one day, her protector would come; that she would never have to suffer lonely nights ever again. But all she could do now was wait. As infuriating as it was, she would have to be patient for maybe the first time in her life. Wait for them to come.
Wait for them to take the dark away.
