Prompt: Tease
Kendra didn’t play. Never built castles with rocks and twigs, never held a rag doll and crooned a lullaby.
Kendra didn’t tease. Never leaned on a car and looked through lowered lashes at a handsome boy, never giggled and squeezed his hand.
Kendra didn’t shout. Never clenched her fists and stomped her feet, never argued for one more hour before curfew.
Kendra didn’t cry. Never curled on her bed and sobbed her heart out because of some small slight, never grieved a loss with silent tears.
Kendra trained, was called, killed and was killed in her turn.
Faith didn’t play…
