Shades of Red
“Darrell, sitting awake in the bed, drew her left leg up to her chest and watched as the light rose in increments as fine and steady as the ticking of a clock. She lifted her arm and stared bleakly at the watch on her wrist.
7:17 a.m.
January sixth.
For just over seven hours she had been fourteen years old.
Under normal circumstances, this would have been cause for some celebration, but as Darrell flopped back down in her bed, she’d never felt less like celebrating. Clear evidence of just how fa...r from normal circumstances had become.
Without turning her head she reached over to her bedside table and felt around until she found her latest notebook, given to her as school ended for the holidays. Given to her by one Professor Myrtle Tooth.
The morning light in the room was too dim to allow for reading, so Darrell flicked on her bedside lamp and flipped through the book. Only the first couple of pages had been filled, but the brevity of her notes didn’t make for any easier reading.
