Darkness

A teenage girl got out of the car, slammed the door, made her way down the driveway and walked up the back steps. The cold night air smelt crisp and sent chills up her spine. She fumbled through her purse looking for her key and then finally opened the door. She felt the warm, cozy air instantly hit her face as she walked into the place she called home.
She walked over to the table to set down her purse. The smell of a home cooked meal filled her senses, but the kitchen was clean. Dinner was done and had been cleaned up. The family supper that once was, now ceased to exist.
"Hello, is anyone home?...Mom? Dad?"

She walked down the hall and snoring reached her ears.
Her stomache ached in hunger.
She slowly made her way to her room and layed down on her bed.
A single tear slid down her cheek.
Her room was pitch black and she stared into the darkness.
"I had such a great time tonight Mom! The movie was great and everyone showed up! We sat in the very front row. It hurt my neck a little. We had a blast though! How was your night Mom?" she whispered to noone.
All that could be heard was the sound of faint snoring.
She stared again into the darkness. Looking at noone. Searching for answers.
She rolled on to her side, kicked off her shoes and closed her eyes.

She opened her eyes and stared into the darkness that was and will always be her life.
A single tear fell down her cheek.
A little girl began to cry..
