Excerpts Of A Book I'll Never Write #1
I call this piece "Numb", and this is one of my favorite pieces I've ever written. I didn't intend for the pieces in this series to be this lengthy, but this piece seemed to almost write itself. Just for clarification, the normal print is what is currently taking place, the italics are flashbacks, and the bold is text messages. Enjoy:) Numb Raindrops ran down the windows, leaving small watery trails behind. “I’m back…I couldn’t handle being away any longer…I’ve missed you.” “But…it’s been so long…I’ve moved on. I don’t feel the same.” Thunder crashed outside and my eyes flew open, just as clouded over as the sky outside. “I’ve waited so long for this, please don’t leave. I’ve missed you so much.” “Noah, I’m sorry, but there’s just not anything there anymore. When you walked out that last time, you took those feelings with you. I’m so sorry.” My phone laid on the floor beside the couch, the screen cracked into an intricate spider web.
