Lol I know I just posted, BUT..... very small writing snippet!!!!!
SpoilerI can still hear her screams.
SpoilerFor hours, I’ve laid awake with my eyes closed, and for hours, sleep has refused me. For I can still hear her screams.
I blame it on my itchy mattress, poorly made of coarse fabric and poky straw, though I know my bed is the least of my problems. Even if it was comfortable, even if I was sleeping on royal silks and feathers, I would not sleep. I would still hear her screams.
SpoilerBecause today, I broke.
SpoilerFeeling wretched and empty, I kick my blankets to the foot of my cot, leaving them in tangled heaps like the knots in my gut. My heart heaves as I stand to pace, body hot with anxiety, golden eyes blazing like hot coals.
SpoilerMama says it wasn’t my fault, wasn’t Arson’s fault—and I know it. The Masons were supposed to train us, not kick us to the streets like stray mutts. And it's their fault I can still hear her screams.
