Despair: The last night

Despair.

One word.

But that one word was enough to cripple a grown man.

Actually, one didn't have to be a grown man - as long as that word existed in someone's life- it meant sadness, grief, and maybe even more all at the same time.

Despair.

One word.

But that one word was enough to perhaps even push someone to take their own life.

"I had- something to say," Theo said, entering their room late at night.

Till now he was somewhere else- contemplating the meaning of life. 

And why people suffered.

What was misery anyway?

"Oh, hey…" Emily had fallen asleep but seeing Theo come in did make her smile as she sat down, barely. 

A dark room.

There was plenty of light in the tree branches but that light was shaded thanks to the blinds.

The blinds also shaded the hardworking Sahalla still working just below the world tree- desperately working to make their world a better place.
