Forgotten

I am using a random number generator to decide how many words will be in each sentence. No sentences will be over 15 words


She brushed the makeup slowly in a circle across her sunken cheek. She avoided meeting the cold shining eyes of her reflection. Still she felt them staring at her, accusing her of a million crimes. Her hand spasmed roughly. The brush dropped down. It clattered in the sink. Her eyes filled up with tears. 

She doubled over, trying not to cry, trying not to think, anything not to feel.

"Shit." It didn't work.

The truth glared at her, irresistible, powerful, unable to control. She did not want to know this.

Brian had been over there the night before. It had been perfect, everything she'd never had, yet she had been afraid. He had been kind. Yet, she had feared that he would force things she didn't want to happen. He always asked permission, always made sure she was okay with what was happening. He was the kindest man she had ever been with, and she turned away.

Now she began to remember things purposefully forgotten. She paced, restless, burnt out. Grabbing the shower door, she roughly slammed it shut. SHHHHHK BANG!

"HOW MUCH MORE CAN I TAKE FROM YOU?" No answers from on high or down low. Silence.

She crumpled to the floor. Time passed over her without real measure. Still she cried silently over wounds of the past, forgotten and remembered again. Unhealed.

And then she just stopped crying. She picked herself up off of the floor. She wiped her face and gently washed off her makeup. Quietly, she walked out of the room.

Silence

SLAM!
Wood on wood, splintering, but only inside this fleshy sac, this body that never was quite good enough.
Stop. Done with that thinking now.
Done
Forever?
It's for the best.
Creaks and shudders of the quiet night.
So quiet it is oppressive.
Shouts still echo in my ears.
More oppressive than the silence

Dishes

Dishes are used for setting a table, serving food and for dining.[1] The term dishes does not include cutlery, or the cutting words he said.
In the United States, tableware is most commonly referred to as dinnerware. Dinnerware can be meant to include glassware, however not flatware, as he has reminded you time and time again, stupid.
Don't forget to wash the dishes. Scrub them til they shine.
Remember the way they flew, crashed and broke around you, Alice.
The old dishes had a rose pattern. These are covered in daisies.

The most common cause of human deaths in the world is the heart

Death is another word for Jimmy.
Phenomena which commonly bring about death in people include senescence of spirit, predation- most commonly by the hungers of other humans, malnutrition- or lack of needs met, disease of the mind, suicide, murder and accidents. Jimmy, or death, is a hole in which you dig deeper and deeper, trying to escape or just trying to feel.
Death is terminal, or so they say.[1]
Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose leading up to, before, and following death until they are made up of dirt. Some bodies reach this stage before death. Like Jimmy.
The nature of death has for millennia been a concern of the world's religious traditions and of philosophical inquiry. Death comes with a choice: resurrection and rebirth, or a permanent cessation in consciousness, known as "oblivion" or "love.".[2]
Prior to death. the physical remains of a person, are interred whole into the hungry belly of the earth or fed to the even hungrier fire, though among the world's cultures there are a variety of other methods of disposal.
The most common cause of human deaths in the world is the heart.[3]

[1] When one can handle it no more, a change must be made. The old self must die so the new self can live.
[2]  Alice knew she could just give up. She could make it go away. Or she could keep fighting and start again.
[3] "I will never be broken"
