I'll Be In The Corner
The corner. That’s where I’ll be. Other people might be dancing and laughing, but that’s not what I’ll be doing; I’ll be in the corner, by myself. I don’t need other people to have a good time. I just need a corner and myself because I know that I won’t be me if I go out there. I’ll be a light covered by a shadow. Alone. If I’m alone, then I won’t be judged. I won’t have to force a smile or laugh because no one will be watching. No eyes on me in my corner. No one will try to critique me and make me feel like I should be someone else. They smother the light like a lid over a candle. Slowly smothering what’s there, until nothing is left.

Order
I jolt forward awaken by rustling leaves. I prop myself up on the tree I was sleeping against. How did I get into this mess? I grab my backpack from beside the tree and take out an old silver heart-shaped locket. Why did you give this to me, mother? What did you want me to do? Hurt washes over me as I remember the night that the world had shut down. Everything had happened so quickly. My mother gave me the locket and told me to run east in the woods. She acted as if she knew what was happening. Did she?
