Morning After

Hours pass by as if they were minutes. The only thing that could be heard, was the sound of Avery and Melanie’s breathing.. That and the sound of the ocean.

Sunlight slowly fills the room giving it a morning glow of light. This does not disturb Melanie or Avery.. They sleep soundly right through it. Amazingly they don’t move an inch. For hours they stay in the same position they fell asleep in

Early morning came and went. Not a twitch from either of them. The sun shifted along the wall.. as the day progressed. The morning went along with it. The silence encapsulates the whole house. The house ,like a tomb, is silent and still.

The afternoon slowly made its way through the windows.. the sun pours into the room, this time it is brighter and warmer. Now the sun shines directly in Melanie’s face. It warms her, slowly waking her up. She picks her head up from its position.. It instantly greets her with a soreness in her neck. She looks down at Avery.. who is still asleep.
