——— 彼女は死んだ遊び場だった ———

Another week had passed. Megan still had no visitors and at that moment, she could care less.

Nobody cared for her except for her mom who was in a hell hole back at home. She constantly wondered what happened at home during the short period she hadn't been around at home.

Megan tried to shove the thought at the back of her mind as she glanced to the window beside her hospital bed, trying to divert her attention away from both her thoughts and Carly who was doing some paperworks.

The only thing she could see was a playground. The benches were lonely and dead leaves scattered around the place as if a hurricane had swept through it.

In summary, the place looked dead.

"You look like you missed your childhood." Carly casually spoke upon looking at Megan who stared longingly outside the window.

"Huh... No.. I just.." Megan jolted out of her thoughts before glancing at the playground once more and sighing as she closed her eyes.

"If you want, I could ask the doctors if you're in a stable enough condition to go outside." Carly raised her eyebrow.

"Yeah whatever." Megan opened her eyes as Carly flashed her teeth which clearly shone brighter than Megan's future.

Carly nodded and leisurely strolled out of the door with the clipboard in hand. Megan breathed a sigh of relief when Carly was officially out of the room.

Megan looked over to where the playground was. Carly would never understand why she kept on looking at the playground.

For Megan, the playground itself was her.

The once bright playground was her before the accident – having friends, a boyfriend and a perfect family.

And then when all the kids became enslaved to technology, a dead playground is left with it's bright colours fading away.

That was her.

After the accident, she's just a broken girl.

A broken girl who's colours had faded just like that of the playground.
