Something Scary

Pain is something incredible and something that can be absorbed and felt by any living creature. When we exist, we feel, we breathe, we live. And sometimes, we ever inflict.

We take it upon ourselves to make others feel. We preserve our own intentions for the weak. For the people who can’t handle something like that.

Tara Jones tried once too many times to be recognized. All throughout middle school and now, high school is around the corner. She didn’t have friends then, she doesn’t have friends now. And she’s too caught up in extracurricular learning to care.

That is, until she realized that something is there and waiting. Waiting for her, waiting to strike.

A few months back, a girl named Cecilia managed to worm her way into Tara’s life. Not that Tara was particularly happy about that, but she just dealt with it and moved on.

Cecilia is dead.

Rumour has it that Tara killed her. But that is most unlikely, given that Tara is pale, weak, and looks like she’s about to drop at any minute.

But then again, those bags under her eyes might mean: I’ve killed too many to count.

Her unkempt hair might mean: The people struggled to live.

Her nervousness might mean: I’m going to get caught.

The world may never know who Tara Jones is, but soon enough, they will know what she is capable of.
