AWAY - CURRENT FILM PROJECT
I could hear the family cry as I strolled downstairs. Something happened. He didn’t get home last night. Something happened.
The atmosphere was heavy with mourning. The sobs and distressed voices echoed through the house, vividly depicting their anxiety. The air was too thick to breathe, I could feel my heartbeat drumming in my ears. As I entered the living room, the scene before me told me a story of significant distress. Tear-stained cheeks and eyes greeted me, and hushed conversations paused as they noticed my presence. A heavy silence settled in the room.
Though the sorrow was dire, and the bond between his dominant family members provided each other a source of strength, I was left out, unable to feel anything. A cousin whispered to me that I became a widow overnight, but I couldn’t share the extreme sorrow they had. Instead, an enormous sense of relief filled my heart. That alone came with guilt, altogether with comfort. I was going to get away, finally!
