She said hello

and that is when she realized she was speaking to a wall,

which did not have an echo,

but the pale shade of yellow was forming cracks,

and there is a startling scream from somewhere within,

a screech,

like someone dragging fingernails through a metal piece

makes no sense,

except the fingernails are deep, not long,

deep into the skin,

and she said it again

hello.

(and she replies: wah kasto intriguing. timile esto lekhna kaile sikyau saathi)
