Characters part 1 - Sasha

Alexandra strides over to the iron door and bangs on it with the full force of each hand. There is a brief lull before she starts banging again. “Eh! Ehhh! Someone come!” She looks down at her red hands and sinks a little into her skin. “Piz deet!” The Russian curse slips out of her mouth, quieter now, and in one liquid movement she turns and slides down the door until she connects in defeat with the concrete floor. The other girls in the room look up from their card game, and when they realize her eyes are closed, a couple of them stare. It is a rare opportunity to study her. To avoid the eye contact that could set her off again. She is young. Way too young to be in this place

Watching

Under the sea foam

twirling shadows find their feet

Aqua blasts them deep

My Romance

Stretching it out
Gently goes the summer leaf
Crumbs in my fingers

That Knight

Lemon dressed bed
a summer scene, serene
Fitful tossing dream

The Game

Too much to bear
or else I bare my heart
Stand up and stay cool

Watching

Under the sea foam
twirling shadows find their feet
Aqua blasts them deep
