    The room was dark, as it had always been. No windows, no carpet, nothing but a mattress, a blanket and a pencil. She was fed daily though a small slit in the bottom of the door. Every day the same thing, bologna sandwich and an apple, it never changed. Fresh air was pumped in, and exhaust sucking the old air out. There was nothing else to see, it was completely void of any light, any sound, literally nothing. Sitting on a thin mattress, so thin; it was if she were on the cold, hard ground. It seemed forever ago that she’d been brought here, taken from her run in the park on that cold Januar...UmEone door

    Sailing Away

    “He’s not coming,” Anna said, blowing a large pink bubble and popping it with finality.“He’ll be here,” Kayla said. Her eyes scoured the horizon in search of the white sail with the faded blue line cutting across its center. “He promised.”Anna kicked at the sand while her stringy brown hair blew around her face. She smacked at the gum in her mouth and readied it for another bubble.“Don’t blow another one. Your hair will tangle and then Mama will make me get it out,” Kayla said.Anna rolled her eyes and returned to her chewing. “How much longer do we have to wait? I’m supposed to go to Abbey’s h...UmEone door
