Blind side
By
Jessica Singleton
There once was a woman who was blind in her right eye. She suffered from paranoia and depression.
The word around her treated her like she was pathetic and out of style because she could not see what the rest of the world could.
She was paranoid but she had a gift that ran in her family. She could see the flip side to reality. She was psychic and she could see the dead.
The world is a cold dark place when you are alone.
People took advantage of her blindness and her disadvantage. She was constantly rapped and abused.
No one cared.
She could not see enough of the proof to do anything about it.
She became pregnant due to the fact that she was raped.
The world around her did not want her to have proof of any wrongdoing.
They did not want to get into trouble anymore then they wanted to stop abusing her.
They poisoned her.
She had an early delivery but she was alone in the dark and she could not see her own child.
She left her premature baby in the cold and dark.
The baby died.
It would never have lived past two days anyway.
Once the child was a ghost, she could see it.
The realization of what happened to her broke her heart and she could do nothing but fall apart.
The ghost was locked in an exile with the damned that the world killed to cover up what they did to her.
The other ghost resented her because they lost their lives.
So they torched her baby.
She could not save it.
The End
A darkened room
A table with a lightbulb.
A plague mask
A puppet
A potato sack man
The butcher
The back door
My nightmare,
