Feathermore Cover Reveal!

Ok, so it is not like a huge reveal, I did it myself. BUT, (heehee I said BUTT) it is nice to finally put a picture to it.

I am happy, and a little bit proud, to present to you:

EXCERPT

"AFTERMATH"

I heard the door slowly open allowing a thin tendril of light to come from behind it. She silently made her way over to the bed and knelt on the floor. I could feel her gaze on me. She hovered for a few moments; I figured she would be making sure I was still breathing. I do not know how long I had been lying in this bed, in the dark, and thinking about it only started to make my breaths come in shorter gasps. Her warm and soft hand found my shoulder, “We are right outside if you need us” she whispered as she tenderly kissed my forehead before moving away and exiting the room.

I wasn’t ready.

I closed my eyes and let the tears escape once again. The sobs came louder each time. No matter how much I tried to muffle them, I wept louder and louder. I wondered if she would come in and once again check on me, as I was now screaming onto my pillow, attempting to drown my pain. A few lonely punches met the mattress. I could not bear the thought of opening my eyes just yet; I couldn’t face the reality of what my life had become. I could not face the fact I would never see them again, feel their arms around me or simply hear their voices calling my name. How am I supposed to keep going?

Once I had let out some of the pain out and my head throbbed impatiently, I rolled onto my side, pulled my knees up and wrapped my arms around them. The pain was unbearable, disabling. This is all I amounted to; A broken heart, a broken soul. I felt my own essence start drifting further and further apart and away. I kept my arms around my body, trying to hold myself together. The darkness that revolved around the room somehow sucked the remaining life out of me.
Would it ever stop? Would it ever get better?

It wouldn’t. I knew it.
