Divine Mortals
“5.
I didn’t sleep much that night, my mind swimming with thoughts of my parents, past conversations, past arguments, plans we had made that would never be realised.
I fell asleep eventually, just before dawn, dreaming a jumbled collection of memories.
I woke late, Nan and Pop were already out on their respective errands and I was left alone to wander around a large empty house on a huge lonely farm. The feeling of desolation hadn’t left upon waking as it had the other mornings, and ...I wondered if the honeymoon period of my first few days here was officially over and the darkness was coming back to claim me once more.
I only managed to walk in circles around the house for an hour, surfing the internet and then channel flicking before I felt as if I was going insane.
The phone broke my trance as I stared aimlessly out the kitchen window.
