She moved through life, alone.... She always had and just knew, deep inside, that she always would. From the time she was a child, with her mother, after her father left. Her mother couldn't handle it and chased after him. Leaving her. Alone. In kindergarten, when she was trying to make friends, and instead made a mess. She went to the corner and stood there. Alone. In elementary, when the others made fun of her neverending runs of parents, never settling on one set, always switching around. When her peers made fun of her lack of scholastic ability. She would sit in the back or on a swing at recess. Alone. In Junior High, when all the cliques formed. Everybody had a clique. The 'nerds', the 'jocks', the 'popular people', the 'druggies'. All except her. She just sat and ate her lunch. Alone. Senior year, on prom night. Her current foster mother convinced her to go, even without a date, to give her a night off. She stood by the side of the gym. Alone. They noticed her standing alone. They came over, tried to include her in their group. She had been alone too long and was unused to acceptance. She could not recognize it. So she ran out into the night. Alone. She ran out into the road. There was a car coming. It hit her as she ran and all she saw was blackness. She now knew what complete loneliness was. She lay there, looking at black, and feeling as she had all her life. Alone. She saw light. Was able to open her eyes. Looked up to see the doctor standing there. He just smiled at her and said: "You are not alone." |

I could sum this all up with one word. Excellent. The feeling is there. The lonliness is there. It is an emotion that is so easy to relate to. You can feel her pain, you can feel her lonliness. Wonderful contribution to the prose forum. |
