100 Word Challenge FGU: #157

Sitting on the top step unknowingly rocking from side to side while two people I once knew tear each other to bits. It’s about money, misunderstandings, dashed hopes and forgotten dreams, entrapment, mistrust and whatever’s the opposite of love.

She sighs and turns up the volume on the TV.

I tiptoe to the darkness of my room. Somehow I fall asleep knowing it will begin again tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after.
