Yellow chipped paint, decorated with dangling shutters that smacked against the side of the house when the wind blew and never kept out the snow. The windows were broken; a story of age, of fights, of just plain bad luck. Bad luck was the only kind of luck they had, she used to say, as she would sit on the front steps and wait for him to come home for work, sometimes lingering there for three or four hours, until it was dark, when she would climb into bed and wait for the sound of his car to pull up. And it was there that she rested, that day, in her bed, when there was a knock at her bedroom door. "Yeah?" She on the window, waiting for the patterns of light to change. There was no response, and a moment later she heard a hand lightly grapsing the doorknob. "What?" She rolled over, surrendering her post at the window, looking at the door, the paint chipping off, the wood splitering in places from the times it had been kicked in during the middle of the night. Slowly, it opened and Deryck stepped into the shadows of the room, the only light provided by the moon shining through the window. From the look on his face, she could see in his eyes that there was something he had to do. Soemthing he didn't want to do. He approached her bed and sat down, tucking a strand of her coffee colored hair behind her ears.. (I'll finish it later) [This message has been edited by ZeraStarloft (01-08-2003 11:26 AM).] |

You can't just leave this like this. Please continue. My first thought is that it will be awful and that I really don't want to know, but then there's a part of me that wants to know for the sake of closure! [This message has been edited by amusemi (01-10-2003 08:03 PM).] |
