Lyrissia

Hunger.

Gnawing hunger.

Fear.

Overwhelming fear.

Exhaustion.

Dead exhaustion.

She wanders waits wonders walks

   wishes.

Fog.

Dulls hunger.

Quiets fear.

Ignores exhaustion.

Not sure I blame her.

 

 Betrayal.

 

A person.

Talking.

Angst.

A sandwich.

Water.

Uncertainty.

Avoid.

Leave.

 

They're back.

A number.

A promise.

Flee.

 

Dusk.

A man.

So much fear.

Reaches.

RUN.

 

That number.

A phone.

A voice.

A familiar face.

A shower.

A bed.

Hope.
