Laura sat crouched on the top edge of the roof of one of the taller buildings in the city. It gave her a good vantage point for all her senses, the breeze brought up stray scents and sounds that were beyond the ears of most people. In the distance she could hear the sea crashing against all shores. Whether or not her children slept. She heard people making love, sleeping, eating. She longed for that connection with another person. She missed the feel of someone beside her as she slept. But it wasn't something she would ever mention to anyone else, unless she was asked directly. So. Rather than sleep as she had, every night, she instead put the twins to bed, and as they slept, she patrolled the island. Spending more nights as she was at that very moment, than she didn't. |
