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!
