A Life Without Regret

Forgiven
“It’s just an old barn,” the little boy said, as he watched the wrecking ball collide with the warped, weathered boards that wrapped around the fragile wooden structure in front of him. “I wonder what they’re goin' to put in its place. A baseball field?..Maybe they’ll put up a playground! Wouldn’t that be nice, grandpa?…Grandpa?”

Isabelle
Humming. It’s the only noise I can hear as I struggle desperately to penetrate the abysmal darkness. I reluctantly begin sitting up, but collapse back onto the cold, musky ground; my legs shaking from weakness. My vision sharpens, and I detect shadows all around me; trees stretching their spindly branches towards me, swaying unsteadily as the harsh wind carries the young girl’s lonely song, haunting my ears. I try again sitting up, as I thrust my hands back behind to steady myself. A burning touch grazes the hairs along my arm while I feel a menacing glare observing me at this precise moment. Falling back to the ground searching through the blackened night, my eyes discover my stalker. A girl. I can’t tell much about her…she seems miles away. Unable to call out to the girl for help, my body shivers as the heat exits my body. An envelope resting underneath my palm engages my eye, wrinkled and battered from time.
