the light is coming from the corner of the room, a green lamp on a white table. next to the table is a queen size bed with white and blue floral sheets. the down comforter lays across is at all. the bed adorned with a small stuffed animal. opposite the end of the bed is a floor length mirror decorated with sticky notes of reminders that she is beautiful. written in a man’s writing. white cowboy hats create depth on the wall. a dark but hopeful void begins the closet, the endless outfits call out to the space beyond its door. a giant window, curtains drawn. the sun peaking through an opening into the outside world. what lies beyond this room? in the hallway? and behind the curtains?
