The wind came in rapid gusts, as if drowning her…drowning, yes that’s what it feels like…
But it’s actually the realization that just dawned on her…
that she has fallen hard.
And she fancied hearing a loud thud as she hit the ground.
As she keeps seeing flashes of those knowing, familiar looks exchanged between them.
Making her feel all the more like the outsider that she is.
She felt as lost as a kite in an empty zoo
… in a snowstorm.
It was painful going home.
It hurt so much it kept her from sleep.
Sleep could be her only salvation.
But even the peace of slumber evades her.
