CLARE

I screamed.

I had no tears to mourn,

Only screams to burn.

I screamed.

Their haunting memories and reminders of my betrayal wasn’t enough, now their dummies lived next door.

I screamed.

They were my gifts,

They were my ghosts,

They were here to haunt me.

I screamed.

Shell shocked I stood there like a statue, I wasn’t breathing nor was I moving. My eyes didn’t blink either. I was shocked and terrified.

They stood there in front of me, 4 people.

But I could see my mistakes in them, my failure, my past, and my reality.

“Clare, you okay ?” Jaxon asked.

But I didn’t look at him my eyes stayed on the four figures sitting in front of me, they looked like him.

“Yeah,” I said blinking, then stared on the floor.

Breath.

After a harsh intake, I looked away. I could see blood on their clothes, holes in their chests.

Panic in their eyes, failure in my actions.
