Astrid
After a while, I stopped sobbing though I still sniffled and hiccuped occasionally. My face was still stained with tears and my eyes were sore. It felt like I'd been crying for ages though I knew it probably must have been for only about an hour.
Although I didn't cry anymore, I still felt the hurt ravaging me from the inside, threatening to tear me apart. It was like I was lost in a dark and silent world with nothing to hold my interest. My surroundings were dull and there was no sound except for the sound of skittering insects on leaves and croaking of frogs somewhere.
