Captured

You see the pink wallpaper? It’s the kind of bedroom she wanted. You see the beautiful frames? They were intended to capture images of her as a precious child, loved, protected, and treasured through the photograph. Instead the visual images are printed inescapably on her mind. Every print a milestone in a childhood gone wrong. It’s not easy leaving such damaged legacy behind. As an adult, the shadow of it follows. Every day a struggle to survive the past. Where were the angels?
