21st Century
New York
Her frame was tensed but her head remained high as she crosses the corridors of main campus of the University for the first time after 2 months. Her face was stoic to reveal a single fragment of vehemence inside. Her spine was upright as if tied against an iron rod, whereas steps were slow and calculated. Today sneakers protected her feet from otherwise killer heels that she used to wear before the accident. Her hips didn’t continue that confident sway. Anxiety rolled from her figure in tons and sweat covered her body like a thin sheath. The jacket she wore to complete the look and hide the bony figure, now suffocated her. Her brown orbs focused ahead, dodging the curious gazes of onlookers as she proceeded towards the locker section.

21st CenturyNew YorkScary bloodshot oceans glared back with the passion that rattled her to the core. He left her arms to cup her cheeks and then glanced at the bleeding man on the floor.“If I hit him now, he will die.” His whisper was deadly and she stops her movement. Her ragged breaths hit his face and his eyes soften, watching her slowly turning tedious. The adrenaline levels were going down. “For the words, he used to disrespect you, I will destroy him. I will bring him on the streets. He will regret his choices until the day he dies. Is that okay? Will that make you happy?” His voice was restrained and effective, and it thrummed awareness in her body. “World will laugh at him and throw dirt over him.

21st CenturyNew YorkFat tears roll down her cheeks as she registered the brutal side of humanity. She wanted to scream and bellow but the sound was ripped from her throat a long time ago. Now she just sat there, like a doll with inert eyes, looking at the bunch of strange men wearing drab tracksuits entering the mansion quietly, descending into her nest, like demons of the night. Her head was resting against the headset of a wheelchair and fingers were curled on the armrests pathetically. Only if she had the power to move. The woman couldn’t show her fear openly but her heart was ready to burst out of her chest, noting the men kneeling over the plush carpet and gently collecting the limp body of her husband with calculated precision. They lifted the unmoving frame and started to fold the same carpet around him.She urinated, recalling how he achieved this fate.Her son has done the dee

21st CenturyNew YorkShe laid on the bed with a crocheted red scarf pressed against her chest. Her thin fingers caressed the soft material, tracing the path of rogue threads. When she was little, Nancy has made it for her. She reminisced how once she caught a high fever during the winter and the poor woman didn’t leave her side all night. The medicines were working at a slow pace, so Nancy remained awake by her side and soothed her by placing a wet cloth on her forehead all night. After some days, she also knitted a scarf just in case the little girl decided to go outside to enjoy the falling snow. That time Lauren was naïve and wishy-washy to understand the notion of care that no other maid had undertaken. The bond between them was strong. Nancy considered Lauren as her daughter. Who does that for a motherless girl? Spending a better time by knitting woolens when you can easily buy them f
