They have kindly taken a chance on my psycho ass & brought me into their fold. Ridiculously thankful to them for their encouragement, kind words, & including me in this daily prompt project.

Forever (Bella POV)

She sat silent in the squashy chair, staring at nothing. Barely blinking. Barely breathing. After all, what reason did she have to do more than convert the oxygen around her into carbon-dioxide?

So on she sat in the squashy chair that now held a permanent indent of her form even when she wasn't sitting in it. Though she rarely sat anywhere else if she could help it. She had to keep watch.

Had to.

It was the only thing keeping her here; the squashy chair that was the one and only front row seat to an old window.

Such an old window.

He'd been gone so long now.

She had to keep watch. For the break in the clouds. For the rays of sunlight. For the prismatic glint those precious few rays made as their light filtered through the crystal her mom had sent that was now hanging from the window lock.

She had to.

So on she sat in the squashy chair; silent, still, waiting.

Forever waiting.

Forever.
