Gone blind

Part 1

Rays of sunlight shone in through the large circular window, casting spider webs on the slanted walls of the clustered attic room. As the leaves outside shifted in the breeze the shadows quivered over the papers scattered across the floor and a body sprawled out on a white mattress in the center of the room. When the light hit Arlyne's eye she started to stir, letting out a long yawn accompanied by her arms stretching to the corners of her bed. She pushed herself up with her hands and grabbed the comforting blanket brining it closer to her as she stared towards the door. The smell of Miss Reeve's fresh blueberry waffles drifted up from the kitchen, startling Arlyne's already aching stomach, but she knew they weren't meant for her, and it would be a waste to go downstairs. Tossing the blanket aside she stood up and made her way over the land mine of paper to the oak wood dresser she was told was her mother's. Opening the third drawer Arylne begun to dig around, fishing out her green oversized t-shirt and a pair of tan cargo shorts. Of course she couldn't quite tell what color they were, her wretched so called curse made sure of that. All she saw was some grey shorts and an even darker grey shirt. But it didn't usually bother her since she had never actually seen color and didn't know what it was. After changing from her cozy pajamas she shoved them into the laundry basket that Miss Reeve picked up every morning at 12:00 am and walked back to her mattress which was seated right next to her shoulder bag and old sandals. She filled the bag with a handful of papers, a pen, and some coins, then threw it over her shoulder before slipping her sandals on. After letting out a small sigh she headed for the window, swinging one leg out and onto the big familiar branch, looking out towards the busiest part of Ovine, she could smell the small markets selling fresh fish, fruits, and sometimes even the warm baked goods Fergus made, as well as a rush of salt from the near by ocean. Resting her other leg on the branch she spread her arms out and smiled as she tiptoed across the opening, occasionally reaching beside her to brace herself on a smaller branch before continuing down the large maple. When she got close enough to the bright green lawn she leaped down and laughed, excited for the day to start and for some food in her stomach.

[ please give me any suggestions on what I could do better and maybe even what you think should happen in the future!! ]
