Loneliness is teal like her walls. Transient but substantial. She has nowhere to go because the walls stand strong and still. She wished for the ocean to drown her. But she was sinking slowly, in the teal depths of loneliness. She was so paralyzed by the hues of teal that she stopped fighting for life. She wished to die, but that requires the same amount of courage one owns to save their lives. She did not have that. She was helpless.

How do you survive nothing? It was the sense of nothingness that was killing her. Hey! Wake up! What?

She woke up with a start. Cold sweat and racing heart evident in her inconsistent breathing. Her head was throbbing now. The dream of sinking alive, it was such a comforting nightmare. To know that you will die, and this does not have to continue forever... It was so soothing yet so scary.. she almost felt safe..

Never mind for reality. She is going to be sold today. Yes, sold to strangers without her permission.
