She was surrounded with friends, yet she reckoned she has never felt lonelier. Her smile, unknown to the others, was the concealer she puts on to cover the gray. And her unusual clatter a decoy to drown out the silence.
When she was finally alone, she felt really small in the big empty room. With the receiver in hand, she punched in the numbers she has memorised by heart, waited patiently for the call to connect which rang until it went dead. Her mind went into a swirl of blankness as she contemplated the redial button. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally decided against it, for it was once too many.
She looked around the big empty room, and finally fixated her glance on the familiar photograph...
