Freckle: A Short Story

Improved Essays
“Huh...not to be a Debby downer but could you hurry up Til?”, spoke a calm, cold, and monotone voice.

The voice belong to a ten-year-old girl with a neat bob cut auburn hair sporting a light red dress. Freckles sprinkled across her face and Persian blue eyes that seemed to bore into whatever they were looking at.

    Thomas’s decrepit screen sat on the round table the size of a cartwheel, which made out a slab of unevenly cut corners. The television was like an unwelcome mirror. It is that dark grey in front with false wooden panelling around the sides and the rear projecting outward toward the curb. The cord dangles into the gutter like some discarded lies. At any other time of year it would be soaked and mud splattered already, but the only damage so far is the light August dust that seemed to settle on anything that stays still for more than a few moments.…

    True pain is hard to find and probably easy to experience. When I look at the paper planes soaring through the room, my pain seems to subside. It’s strange how such a little thing could have such a large impact on my life–my emotions, my physical state. The soft plush of my duvet under my body wasn’t as calming as staring at the paper planes, but I find it soothing in the state of being knackered. Which is one of the things I can’t possibly be right now especially with my mental state.…
