harry, 7:58pm

- soooo, how was your day without me?

Nina switched off her phone and rolled over onto the other side of her bed. You're tired, she told herself. It's nothing to get upset over. She wondered where he was right now.

The TV was still on when she walked into the room. She muted the volume and slumped onto the sofa. She watched the colours from the TV dance off her surroundings in silence.

If there was something that Nina despised more than her irregular sleeping pattern, it would have to be liars. She did not like liars.

She especially did not like those who take pride or pleasure in it. To deceive a person, in Nina's eyes, was probably one of the most hurtful things you could do to another human being. Especially to a human who means nothing but kindness. She sighed.

What is it about us that makes us so vulnerable, yet so destructive? We sit and watch the world fall to pieces before our very eyes only to play the blame game, where nobody ever wins - only loses. And so why, she thought, should we hurt one another like this? Nobody wants to feel pain, and so why inflict it on others?

Nina turned the TV off and sighed into her empty home. She did not like liars at all.
