"I Don't Understand."

Her body crumbles into itself, Darkness all around her. She sits on the floor, with her back against the wall, head between her knees. Darkness comforts her with a cold hand wiping the tears off her face; wrapping its arms around her in a frostbitten hug. Darkness swirls around her, fending off the light trying to get through to her; her protector. Darkness asks her, “Why are you like this? I don’t understand.”
