Buy Me a Coffee?They’ll never say that she must sit, thusly, and stand, just this way, and never raise her voice nor indeed speak much at all, for speaking moves the veil over her nose a little at a time, and her father will beat her if ever it falls in public.
There is none of that nonsense here. Here the walls are pale blue, like the sky, like the eggshells of the little birds who fascinate her so because their chests are red and she can see their hearts leaping, pounding with terror underneath the silky smooth feathers whenever she draws near. She both needs and cannot stomach that sound, that pulse, drumbeats building to a single rolling tone until she aches for them to stop. It’s usually then that she puts a hand out, faster than the poor thing could ever hope to see, and crushes the noise out of it.
She hates noise of any kind. Especially yelling. She thinks of yelling, sometimes, when she kills the birds. It makes her feel strangely guilty. They’re pretty and innocent.
