Sunset

24-Sep-2020

A stoic tired girl observes her surroundings while a sunset is taking place in the background.

The clouds are getting entangled with fear. The waterfalls slapping the rocks deafeningly. The oil lamp has run its course for the day. It burns down behind the mountains lending some of its fuel for the night. A brisk whisper reluctantly blows amidst the distant howls. A derelict abode of inconspicuous emotions watches this monotony stoically. She moves a strand of hair behind her ear and lets out a tired sigh instead of a scream lest becoming an aberration. Magma inside her moves closer to the surface as she inches towards the inevitable eruption.
