Ella hadn't slept well. She wasn't sure why. She was fairly certain there was no reason for it. She just had an off night. That happened. Especially when she didn't take anything to help her sleep. The bottle of sleeping pills says 'non-habit forming' right on the bottle, but she didn't believe it. Not when she felt restless and unable to sleep when she didn't take them.
She had two choices when morning broke. Either lay in bed and continue to be miserable with the tossing and turning, or get up and do something. She decided to head to the park, get some fresh air. She found herself at the kid's playground, which was deserted so early in the day. It wasn't even 7:30 yet, when she sat down on one of the swings and started to sway back and forth.
She'd never had a childhood. Not really. Not after she was burned. She'd been so young, too young to remember what really happened. She remembered the aftermath, though. The constant pain, the frequent trips to the hospital, the surgeries to try and repair her damaged body. Sometimes she hated her mother for putting her through all that, but now so many years later there was no pain, only terribly disfiguring scars.
He continued to sway on the swings as she looked at her wirst, eyes tracking the jagged ugliness of her scars.
