Description
There is an agony in love.
She had never believed this. Instead she flittered away, all smiles and joy. Wide-eyed schoolgirl to some, mature but still young to others. She was everything to everybody.
Except herself. She was an actor to look at her, as she played parts to everyone she touched. To her parents she was the daughter. To her friends she was the loyal friend. To her studies she was the student. To herself...
To herself...
All there was to answer was space. Air. Silence.
She wears orange. Orange and reds. The colours of all that surrounds her.
She had boyfriends. One or two a year, never anything serious. It had been puppy love, her parents told her. He meant nothing to you. You understand that don

Rivetting as always! Four thumbs up... even the cat asked me to scroll back to the beginning. You have a very fluid conversational style that is easy to follow, but it has well crafted milestones of thought that ingrain themselves so very deeply... and with so few words you manage this. Excellent writing, mate.

Your story unfolds like scenes from a movie. You can't help but feel for this tragic character.

This is one of quiet introspection. There is no drama in this thought process, it just is. The moment of clarity. Like the stones in Ophelia's pocket, you use quite well the metaphor of guilt, suffering, regrets and finally pain weighing this character down. There is a graceful matter of factness about this piece. A soft melancholy you are immediately drawn into. I do imagine the thought process to be this way at such moments. Wonderfully executed! Superb writing style. Look forward to much more of your work. ~Michelle~
