Our Mental Love

Chapter 10

I stare at the picture for a few seconds and then crumble it up furiously. I don't need a picture to ruin my life. It's already ruined enough.

I toss it in my bin then forget that it still was knocked over. My aunt didn't notice it I guess. Too busy with all the pictures.

I walk to my garbage pail and pick up the crumbled picture. I almost force myself to open it. To see it once again.

I lift my pail of the floor and toss the picture in. I walk to my bed slowly but I see the bin in the corner of my eyes.

I stop walking and turn around quickly and fearlessly. I walk slowly to the bin and pick the picture back up. I un crumble it very slowly. The picture's colors pop into life and I get this cold chill. My back shudders and goose bumps spread across my body. I take another peek at it. I almost faint.
