Short Stories : A Walk On The Darker Side.

Story Exercise:

Berlin during a midwinter night, I walk in from a long day from work.

The picture laid before I made me break a smile on my face.

My sister's and my husband were in the kitchen, baking bread, and pastries.

Whilst my little Gothic family were singing on top of their lungs. "Greensleeves."

My parents always cast me out as if I didn't matter.

That I was their mistake.

I was taught early on that hate is just only a four-letter word.

Oh so long ago, I have never forgiven my father, for all the wrong he has done.

But alas, so many years have passed...

I walk into my own house with my own family.

With my own love, I sit at the piano and smile with my husband and sister in laws.

That we are united in one nutshell called family.

I have finally learned so many years to love once more, to trust those around me.
