the threads in her head

-Serenity

She curled her hand up into a fist, and rammed it into the wall. The pain nearly caught her off-guard, so shocked she was she nearly stopped. Nearly. She rammed it one more time straight in, and a dull thud filled her ears. For a moment she stood still, allowing the sound to fill out around her, seeing it reverberating around the room. She replayed the sound again and again in her mind, and then she crashed her knuckles into the wall again.

Argh. It was fruitless anyway. She flopped back onto her bed and stared at the ceiling above her. Was this growing up? Ha!

The stuffiness of the room made her sweat. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on the sweat trickling down her brow. The slow descent it made before dripped onto her bed. Sucking in air, she puffed out her cheeks.

A tune started in her head. She hummed it out.
