ON nights like this, she wishes it would all end.
She curls into a makeshift ball, occupying the corner of the mattress with two old pillows beneath her head and a thin blanket to cover her frail body. It is a dull evening. Boredom fills her momentarily before her eyes droop to accommodate the exhaustion that floods her.
Hyperaware of her surroundings, she listens to the noises that echo quietly in her ears. The creatures outside gather around her room in order to play a tune of sounds and she feels a dose of reverence towards the insects for keeping her company.
Her midnight hair flourishes around her in a halo, spilling across the silky red cushions. Without realizing, she grasps onto her fingers and toys with the hangnail that clings to her thumb. She accepts the dull ache that possesses her, chipping away at the flesh until a sprinkle of blood tickles her skin.
Her room is relatively dark, with only the reflection of the moonlight from the autumn sky shining a dim glow into the space. The moon's power over the rest of the twilight azure is admirable to her. It is the brightest thing twinkling in the darkness. The serene energy that radiates from it is complimented by the blaze of the sun; the moon's soul mate. It is this alluring thought that graces her broken mind. The power of love. Both the weak and the strong wish to have some of the fortitude the moon carries.
