The girl who collected broken tomorrows
Chapter 1: 12:01 AM
..In the town of Ashford,Silence had a sound.
It lived between unfinished sentences,behind polite smiles,inside the spaces where people swallowed their pain and said, "I'm fine."
Elara Quinn knew that sound better than anyone.
She was seventeen. Quiet.Observant. The Kind of girl people described as "nice" because they didn't know enough about her to say anything else
But every night, at 12:01 AM
When ta rest of Ashford slept peacefully,
Elara s window would glow.
Not with light.
But with memory.
She had a box .
Except it was.
Inside it,she kept tomorrow's that never happened
The apology someone rehearsed but never said.
The confession typed and deleted at.11:59 PM.
The train ticket bought for a trip that was cancelled .
The courage that almost existed.
She collected them.
Broken tomorrows.
Because someone had to.
And maybe-----
Because one night,
a tomorrow of hers.
Never come..
