Token: Wayward World
by Krysalisz
She lent on a wheeled chair near one of the room's tall, steel beams to catch her breath as her mind spun.'She'd lost her son. She'd lost her only last son & he was nowhere to be seen.'She heard a whimper overheard.'She wasn't good enough. Wasn't there for him when he needed her, probably more than he'd ever need her in the rest of his life.'& then a half-stifled choking sound.She froze. She already knew what that meant without looking up. But she still did. & she almost wished she hadn't.If she hadn't known, she would have now, from the ring of rope tied to a beam & the small boy bound by it, looking at her, with a gaze that hit her right in the heart & broke it. Genuinely looking at her, with feeling, feeling other than hatred, other than pain, other than emptiness, voicing a silent plea."Help."That.That was when she made the decision.~~~~~~~~★~~~~~~~~
