Emily A Short Story Written by Rose Red 🥀 *** Taking the step before the last in the staircase, I unknowingly slowed down, trying to feel if there is a certain presence hiding behind the wall just beside the stairs to make fun of somebody's morning, doing so like an instinct. Suddenly, I stopped, as my eyes began to pool with tears. Fuck, not now, it's only morning for goodness' sake. I tilted my head upwards to somehow will my tears back. *** I don't want anyone to know. So I keep quiet. Like the trees in the middle of a storm, just swaying and dancing with the wind. Like the sky in the middle of a war, just quiet, perhaps a little too quiet. *** This is my first story for the world to see and I really really hope you like it! *** #261 in storytelling(out of 5.14k stories 🤯🙈🥰) -01/04/21 #207 in storytelling-01/04/21
