Between Walls

Author: T.N

A girl imagines she could jump. Despite a window in place, and four metres of space. Still, she imagines.

Above her,

the noise is - Leaking. Through his head phones he can hear it. It’s not quite a buzz he can hear it even though it’s not quite a buzz and He’s wearing his headphones and it’s leaking.

The girl adjacent wants you to Please excuse the pun. As she speaks, the room cannot find the pun.

Yet,

The room does not exist but for his eyes, Thinks a boy as he lets his hand fall, between their two chairs.

The man in the corner pulls at his hair because he is looking at the girl looking at the window imagining she could jump.
