Sideways glances. The emptiness of a full room. Looking. Reading. Looking. Writing. In this room there is comfort for those not alone. For those with no names, paranoia fills the air. How we die for our names to be said!
We are all shadows until we are given names. In here, in life. Even with the light of the sun, we cannot be seen without our names. But name us and we are free. You will see us...not our shadows.

I wonder, “Really, How did I get here?” And I remember… ~ My memories of her are fading. I’m hanging on to what I can. She had blonde, no, brown hair, and green eyes. Eyes that when she stared at me from across the
