The streets that usually are busy in the morning are deadly calm, haunting silence hung around me as I kept walking forward without letting the darkness around me affect me. The moon hid behind the dusty clouds casting a very blur glow up far from the sky. My each footstep echoed in my ears because of extreme silence that took the hold of these abandoned streets. Taking the gloves out of the pocket of my jeans, I continued my walk while I put them on.I took the mask out from my other pocket without stopping and placed it on my face, hiding my identity from the world and burying the secrets and mysteries of these menacing night.The deserted cabin, that I found here a few days back, came in my sight because of the distant glow that came right

    And, between all the misunderstandings the line between the truth and the lies blurred. -Unknown. |A L E E Z A|The breakfast table served as a stage for our daily performance of familial normalcy. I draped myself in a full-sleeved top, a feeble attempt to conceal the secret beneath.I sensed Lorenzo's watchful gaze. "Full sleeves in this weather?" he queried. A forced smile played on my lips as I replied, "Just felt like wearing it."An unspoken agreement lingered in the air, urging everyone to avoid delving deeper into the complexities veiled by my seemingly mundane choice.Yet, for me, each day was an unspoken battle.
