Status: My first attempts at writing drabble. Working out the chapter titles to actually write something, so they'll probably change.
The Basement
boy
Her name is Emily. I heard her father call her that one day. I think it’s just the two of them in the house, and me. I hear their footsteps on the floor upstairs at night, after they think I’ve gone to sleep. Emily’s footsteps are comforting, and sometimes I can hear her laugh too. It’s beautiful. She already knows my name. I heard her say it once when she was talking with her dad. Boyd . Hearing the word fall from her rosy lips made me feel almost human for the first time in as long as I can remember.
