The pause button seems frighteningly tempting as it is placed in front. Staring at life moving past as fast as though it was on fast motion. She lets out a sigh. She placed the remote back on the coffee table. She lay back on the couch. Massaging her temples as the noise around her drown out her silent cries. She lean forwards and pushes the pause button. Everything seemed to have stop in their tracks. Silence, she thought.
Standing up, she seemed unaffected by the pause. She finally lets out a long deep sigh. It has been awhile since she had been able to walk around without worrying. She picks up her phone. It's off, she silently thought. Even if it was on, it wouldn't ring anyway. She stepped out of her house, everything was on hold. Even the wind who was playing with the leaves awhile ago had stopped in mid air. The little boy running away from his mum to avoid yet another spanking.
She knew sooner or later she would have to press the play button again. She sat by the beach staring at the sun going down. When was the last time she had seen a sunset? She couldnt recall. Feeling the warm grains of sand moving beneath her feet with every step she took. She grabbed a handful of them and watch as they slid through the tiny gaps between her fingers. Just like time, they slipped away so quickly.
She heard a movement from behind her. Another one of her kind. She turns around to see who was it. The minute she spun around, she felt a hard object come in contact of her skull. Someone snickered. She closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep deep sleep.
