Teaser for my upcoming ficlet that is still untitled...and unfinished *glares at LilFae*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Black.
Trapped in this prison, that’s all there is . . . Black in front of me. Black behind me. Beside me. Over me, under me . . .
Inside me.
For I am Wicked.
At least . . . that is what I am said to be.
The Wicked Witch.
My green skin is no more then an outward manifestation of the darkness that looms within me. A void; empty of all feelings and emotions. No cares. No worries. No fears. No hopes. Only black.
I did care once. I cared every time I was called some horrible name by a cruel child. I cared when my father would shun me or my sister would scold me for being only who I was. Attention and neglect equally painful . . .
Only two people ever cared enough to look past what the others seemed so fixated on. One of them, a victim of my shortcomings . . . the other, someone who cannot know I live.
I sit, knees bent to chest beneath the floors of Kiamo Ko, waiting for Fiyero to come, and I can’t help but hate myself for the pain I have caused others throughout my life.
