Nilah's point of view

Words are like tsunamis and people think it's funny to splash in them like they are puddles. People play with there words, thinking it is okay to say what they wish.. but it's not.

What if the words they spit out came true? What if the words came alive and eat you piece by piece...?

For some people that is how it is. Words kill.

"Look at her, mommy, why does she have purple eyes?" the little girl asked, tapping at her mothers side.

"I.. don't know." The mother stared at me with amusement.

The little girl came up to me, her little blond curls bouncing in the air.

"Why are your eyes purple?" She asked.

"I was born with them, are you scared of them?" I asked, watching the curiosity flow within her little green eyes.

"No. There different... and pretty." I smiled at her.

"Well.. you'd be the only one.. Purple eyes are a curse to live by and thankfully, you have beautiful green ones"

Her face turned blank as if I had said something that hurt her or alarmed her.. Her mother grabbed her arm away and walked away.

I got up and walked in the opposite direction. This is how words can kill you...
