Head Over Shoulders
I know that's the truth, but we as humans love lying to ourselves.
"Angie?" I call out once her laughter morphs into tears. "Where are you Angie? Speak to me."
Her figure forms, and it feels like I release a breath I've been holding for years. All the other times I was here, Angie was covered in blood. Sometimes missing limbs, other times missing hair. She always looked like she came straight out of a horror movie.
But now, she's wearing her favourite dress, it's a ladybug design. She loved it because Ander bought it for her on her birthday. She looks at me. No guilt, no contempt, no hatred. And the corners of her lips twitch and form a smile.
