Subject: Frowns

She sighs, almost shying away from the subject of her family. Then taking in a deep breath she said it simply, " I have no family..." Well in truth she had to have family, but she remembered none, and none came to her when she needed them most, " I'm my own family, What's to say?" She sighed wistfully, wishing by some miracle that she could remember, even if it was a bad memory. A Face is what she yearned for most, something she wouldn't have to imagine or make up, or even a voice, a soft sweet song, a threat. Anything she would welcome gleefully. But at the same moment of yearning, she hid, she tried to hide, stay out of sight, safer that way, silent, submissive. She was afraid to remember, afraid her memories would be only lies and false hopes. But since a short past remembered could vouch for a family...
" I'll tell you what I do remember..."
And that was squat.
" My earliest memories was of darkness, I don't know if I was unconscious, or if where ever I lived was just dark... That's all I remember, darkness, then it grew lighter, not light enough to see, but light enough to torment me, I think it was just my mind, making up excuses for a family, but somewhere in the darkness, there were shadows, Odd though, because no light could cast a shadow. The shadows outlined figures I could draw with my eyes closed, but I never saw their faces, I never did. Even in my dreams when I pretended, they were always just shadows..." She paused self consciously, " But I can't draw anyway..."
