the granite sliding
across the paper was
too loud, too invading.
the noises haunted her
every move. she could
not escape the noises.
she hugs her knees to
her chest, and glances
at the locked bathroom
stall's walls. the sound
of footsteps in the
background terrorizing
her, and freezing her
entire body, for one
moment, before all
the emotion came back to
her, and slammed the
breath out of her.
