Never Coming Back
“Did you find them?” I questioned, my voice high-pitched and anxious.
“Let me talk to Taryn for a minute, sugar,” she replied, my face cupped in her hands.
My eyes welled with tears as I slowly walked over to the couch. I wrapped up in the blanket and watched as they talked. Taryn’s chin quivered and Ginny’s hands shook. I pulled the blanket up over my head and sobbed. I knew they weren’t coming home.
“Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.”
