Sniffles

A 10 yar old girl gets the sniffles as she begins to realize all of lifes problems

Don't push your luck when it comes to the facts of life. It sucks. Everyone dies and sins. There's no place to feel like you belong. I didn't know that until yesterday when my mother told me that My dad was never coming back. I cried, i know it seems childish, but i didn't want to lose him. I choked back a sob and looked up at my mom, trying to hide my tears.
I knew my father had died. With a sniffle i wiped a hand over my eyes and turned away from my mother, not wanting to be held. I didn't want to cry, I wanted to become hard to the world.
