Dolls
Things that are calm,
That are still,
Things that do not move,
Do not think, do not feel, do not breath,
Things that are still.
I am still.
The little girl sat in the room, she was all alone. Perhaps she was not there, but left the shell of her body behind as she journeyed far, far away, to the land of no remember.
She was still.
The arguers were busy.
Someone saw the still little girl and the arguers. The arguers saw nothing but the argument in which they were engaged. The argument saw nothing but the shadows creeping in.
Someone could not bring the little girl to life.
She was no longer a little girl.
She was now a doll.
