All That Glitters Is Not Gold
ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD Glasses breaking, voices shrieking, papers flying; Abigail huddled up in fear. ‘’You’ll die if you leave, don’t leave else you’ll die; be warned,’’ these were the words reverberating in the ears of Abby; as her peers call her. ‘’Oh! Not again; not this time. Leave me alone. Please,’’ she communicated to the voice through her thoughts but the voice kept on replying, ‘’Never, never. Your heart is here, you belong here.’’ Abigail’s mind was filled with reminiscences of the times she used to have fun without the voice telling her what to do and how to do it.
