The elders and the surprise
Blue
I walk down the halls and down the stairs. The room where mother probably had all her important meetings with the elders. This is not the life I want for myself. This will never be the life I want for myself. I have never seen myself as a leader. Someone that tells people what to do. I just want a quiet life. Maybe I am a lot more like my father. I mean, most times I wondered why he was so secluded. I wondered how he could have lived the life he had lived all those years. I always looked at him and prayed for a life in a different direction. I guess wanting a family was important to me.
