Tragedy

Katy laid on her bed and stared at the roof of her room. Her vision was blurred by the onslaught of tears forming in her eyes. She felt everything in her world collapsing and that at any moment she might break into a million unfixable pieces. A trillion questions buzzed in her mind like bees on a warm spring day. She tried her best to ignore them but she just couldn’t, they were too loud to ignore. So instead she squeezed her eyes shut and held her breath as if she were going underwater. Proceeding then to clench her fist as if she were about to get into a fight, she clenched them so tight that they were starting to turn into a grape like colour. That’s when she screamed, a banshee type scream, it pierced the air like an arrow and echoed throughout all her neighborhood. She screamed and she screamed and she screamed; her lungs felt like they were being crushed slowly and agonizingly but she still kept on screaming. And finally after what seemed like an eternity she stopped screaming and started gasping desperately for oxygen. She opened her mouth to say something to herself but apparently she had screamed her voice out. All the questions seemed to be out of her mind, well all except one. A question that will never leave her for the rest of her life,’’……… why?’’
