Part 28: The Empty Earth
Part 28: The Empty Earth
We stood on the hill together.
Caleb. My mother. Lily. And me.
We watched the massive wrecking balls swing.
The stone walls of Hawthorne Manor crumbled.
The grand staircases turned to dust.
The beautiful prison was finally destroyed.
Lily held my hand.
She didn’t look scared.
She looked fascinated by the heavy machinery.
When the dust settled, there was nothing left but flat earth.
Caleb wrapped his arm around my waist.
“What are you going to build here?” he asked.
I looked at the empty space.
“A park.”

A pause.
“Just a place where people can finally breathe.”
