So Cold

Ana turned and ran, tears blurring her vision as she escaped the house that had been her home for as long as she could remember. Without her Papa here though she couldn’t stand to be there. Where once it was bright, warm and welcoming it now seemed dark, depressing and cold. Or maybe the last was just Ana. Either way she couldn’t deal with the oppressive silence for another moment. She couldn’t sit at the table with the place set for her Papa and see the food remain uneaten. See the final proof that he was no longer with them.
