The End There she was sitting at the edge of her bed all day‚ her eyes gazing into a profound pit of nothingness. Everyday was the same for the 16 year old. Nothing was important to her. Recollections and contemplations overflowed her brain. The dark nights filled with horrendous nightmares‚ nightmares packed with fears.
