Gift of Eternity

The Hall

She found herself crawling in her bed, as if the journey tired her body. The creases of the sheets drew the scenario from where she have been. Pushing herself out of the covers, Shara threw her hands into air, to fly, with the wings she got from a wise old fairy of her wonderland. Little did she knew about the storm that covered the grey sky, as she flapped her wings. Being into somewhere that gave her the space to fly, was Shara's favorite travel tale. "Sweetie, the lunch is on the table", a high-pitched voice called for Shara from downstairs. She liked to eat but didn't wanted to be called. Shara laid on the bed, with eyes closed, thinking of time she spent in her dreams.

Pulling her hair in bun, she walked out of the room to the hall. Though being small, the house had pretty much space for the hall that laid to the left of kitchen's door. Her mother kept a sharp eye on her dad while working, as Mr. Langford had a weird habit of falling asleep while eating. Shara came to the table, her lunch served at its usual place. She walked to the kitchen, wanting to have a talk with her mom, but every time she tried, no words ever came out. She always felt that she was not good at words but never believed one doesn't need words to be perfectly arranged and spoken, only if she knew. And whenever this happened, her mom always sat beside her, taking Shara's hand in hers, and explained, "I know you want to talk, about everything, but kid, you need to believe this, to talk to your mother, you never have to put words into perfect phrases. Speak your heart out even if you have jumbled feelings. We understand you, you don't owe us any explanation. But this was never as easy for Shara as it sounded. She covered her face in her little hands and ran out towards hall and sat down to eat. Day ends but never her thoughts.
