The OutCast Luna
The sound of my mother's raspy cough echoes from the adjacent room, a constant reminder of her deteriorating health.
I carefully select a few eggs from the refrigerator, their shells cracked and fragile, mirroring the fragility of our lives. With a heavy heart, I crack them into a chipped bowl, whisking them vigorously, hoping to infuse some semblance of happiness into this mundane morning routine. As I reach for the milk, I notice the empty carton, a stark reminder of our meager existence.
