Lane: A Fictional Narrative

Improved Essays
It was late in the evening when Lane entered her flat. It was cold, rainy, October night full of mysteries. Lane was sitting near to the window looking in a distance. Her thoughts were dark, suppressed with anxiety while she was sipping her red wine into the glass. I was looking at her from the distance fearing this might be our end. I loved this world, but she - she was broken. Her frozen posture and evil smile made me feel frightened. Her dark thoughts were entering her veins and the darkness was taking over her soul. Her eyes, once golden, were reflecting the colour of the wine while she was taking her last sip. She looked as an evil queen ready to transform into a monster. Her thoughts were tearing her apart, enabling the darkness to wind

    The ground smolders and sends up a disorientating haze where the heat congested with crushed coal coils around the Valley of Ashes like a hot-blooded serpent. Not too far, a grandiose bright-yellow Rolls Royce illuminates flashes of gold as it roars through the gravel course. A figure of a young woman intercepts the automobile, flailing her perspired milky arms. Her eyes divulge her soul, an ocean of hopeless grief that cries for help. Her figure is not enough.…

    There, on a sill of contentious decisions Glass shards sit waiting a wavering hand Reflective the memories wrapped ‘round the curtains Lost in a pane that she can’t understand Chilled calls the breeze through a jagged eviction Scenting the air neath a ceiling now stained Dampening dreams behind oven doors gaping Finding the pilot light has not complained Ripping out pages of scribbled delusions Day becomes night in the depths of her mind Chasing the echoes when no one will answer Begging each shadow for something to find Setting a table of rounded persuasions Watching fluorescents fade fast in her eyes Turning the knob towards a sorrowed direction Why is there none who react to her cries Loneliness peels back the layered condition Voices…

    She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought. There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will bending hers in that blind persistence with which men and women believe they have a right to impose a private will upon a fellow-creature.…
