No. 9 - RUMORS OF MY DEATH HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED
presumed dead | (blind) rage | tears
.
Something is building up inside of Liliana. She’s not sure what it is, but it presses against her chest, her temples. It makes her stomach clench and her eyes burn. Sometimes she thinks it’s a happy feeling, others it seems it can’t possibly be, not with how much it aches.
She feels like she’s going to explode.
Every day that passes she’s more confused. There’s so much bad in the world, so many people that have hurt her, so many people that she’s convinced still would hurt her if given the chance. But this place, these people...they’ve been nothing but kind. They’ve accepted her into their midst and showered her with patience and gentleness ever since they first met her.
