Family Secrets 90 long, eternal seconds Arms flailing blindly. Her lacey pillow Suffocating her slowly. Satisfaction. Sirens wailing, His body shaking uncontrollably. Arms holding him In artificial agony. Deceit. Uproar of voices, Struggling uselessly. Pointed fingers, angry tears He was carried away innocently. Betrayal. -Jessica Campbell 1.

Family Secrets 90 long, eternal seconds Arms flailing blindly. Her lacey pillow Suffocating her slowly. Satisfaction. Sirens wailing, His body shaking uncontrollably. Arms holding him In artificial agony. Deceit. Uproar of voices, Struggling uselessly. Pointed fingers, angry tears He was carried away innocently. Betrayal. -Jessica Campbell
