Valerie's False-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
The hazel hues of the woman's eyes stared blankly ahead, focused past the moving bodies before her but fixating on nothing. Valerie's whole world had crumbled around her in a matter of seconds it seemed. Blow after blow of bad news came like rapid waves from the ocean seeking to drown her. It was one thing to have a close friend skip town without really a word but it was another thing to have it happen when you needed them the most. In the same night Val had lost two out of the three people in the world that meant everything to her. One died, the other chose to walk away.
How was she supposed to feel when her father was just laid to his final resting place and Delilah was nowhere to be found?
So abandoned.
So alone.
So angry.
So hurt.
Sure

    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.…

    My mother tells me that dreams are crossroads, not belonging to the mortal or spirit world. In dreams, the deceased can communicate with the living, tie up loose ends. The lost souls would be able to apologize for anything done wrong, be able to say “I love you” one last time, and even tell them where a certain large stack of money is hidden. The possibilities are infinite in Crossroad. Once anything that made the spirit feel fragmented arose, they were condemned to wander Crossroad in search of closure.…
