Holding on not letting go. loving the feel of the small metal object she hugs it to her chest. Then a someone knocks. She rolls down her sleeves slowly carefully not disturbing her work. Gripping it closer she puts on a smile and answers the door. A few well placed questions and answers and the door closes again. She whispered to the wood 'please come back please save me' but no one comes.

Her eyes are fighting against her. Trying to close, betraying her. No!!! She looks again at the...

ahh. I keep rewriting this. I've been a complete dick to some of you. Part of it is spite, but it's true that I have to move on. Heck, I think a lot of us have to move on in some ways and I hope some of you understand what I mean. We can choose to get past our issues.
