Hoofbeats clatter on the hard earthen floor of the caverns as I make my way quickly through their depths. It is odd to me that the floor is not rock, but then the world stopped making sense about twenty minutes ago. I shouldn't expect anything to be as it should, not anymore; not when the darkness threatens to swallow me whole, and I am tempted to let it. I am dimly aware of entering a larger cave, and then dodging to the right to avoid the shadows lingering there. I have no desire to say hello to anyone, be it new friends or old. Truth be told, I don't think I deserve company in any form. I don't think I deserve anything at all. I enter a large space filled with the thunder of an oddly lit waterfall; it flickers and glows, though I cannot tell where the light is coming from. It doesn't matter. I make my way to the far side of the pool into which the water flows, hiding my tear-streaked face from any who happen to be around. Unlike in the last room, the tears have blurred my vision to the point that I can no longer see clearly. I find myself standing by the edge of the pond, and I sink to my knees, as though standing is suddenly too much effort. A soft moan escapes me as I stare without seeing at the water, wondering if perhaps life would be easier for everyone if I just stuck my head under and took a few deep breaths. The moments pass; I don't move. I don't have the courage to act on my thoughts. One more thing to add to my list of failures, I think miserably, tucking my legs close to my body and using my wings to shield myself from the outside world. My neck twists, and I bury my head beneath the ruffled feathers. It is only then that I give in to the silent sobs threatening to overtake me, only then that I allow myself to wallow in self-pity, only then that I allow the sorrow to show. "Talk talk talk." |
