Life Interrupted
by Yessi Smith
I am a blank canvas that even the artist in me doesn’t know how to fill. My life started the day I escaped and woke up in the hospital.Escaped from reality. Escaped from fear. Escaped from him.Nothing exists before that, and as the days trickle by, I’m positive there’s nothing after that either.I try though. For Poppa, who hasn’t left my side since I woke up, I try to live.But every attempt is futile. So I escape again and start fresh on a small island, where there aren’t any expectations to fulfill. Where family and friends I don’t remember can't look at me with sadness and disappointment.And when Travis Keillar comes into my life everything changes. The memories I’ve lost become unimportant to the memories I’m creating with him. For the first time since I opened my eyes that fateful day in the hospital, life smiles back at me.Until it doesn’t.Until he comes back for me. For revenge of crimes I don’t remember committing.
