Solitary

The glass was sent shattering onto the floor. Fresh blood stains were dripping across the walls. She cuddled up at the far end of the room and buried her head in her knees. More items were sent crashing onto the floor, splitting in a thousand broken pieces.

Somehow she always felt that her heart had stopped beating a long time ago. She felt numb to everything that happened around her, her eyes were in a fixed daze and nothing seems to move. She wanted to feel again, but an invisible barrier blocked her from any form of emotions.

She jerked out of the nightmare and opened her eyes. She tried to adjust her eyesight to the darkness before reaching out to turn on the lamp shade at the side of her bed. “Its just a dream…” She consoled herself. She took a few deep breath, it felt like everything had happened for real. She took out her pills from the drawer with her shaky hands and swallowed them hastily.

She got up from her bed and went onto the computer. “5.00 A.M” She checked the time. It was always the this time when she would wake up from her sleep. She did not understood why but continued doing her work when everyone else was asleep. She felt safer that way, she felt safer to sleep when the sun was up. She was practically living like a vampire, except that she doesn’t drink blood.
