“It’s fine…”
She shook.
“It’s alright…”
She choked.
“They aren’t coming for you…”
She wept.
“It was just another nightmare….”
She scolded.
“Hush…”
She shushed.
“It’ll be okay…”
She reassured.
“The darkness will protect you…”
She hoped.
“They are through with you…”
She lied.
“Life will be better…”
She promised.
“….No it won’t….”
She believed.
