Lost in the Snow

She had been wandering among them for weeks now without showing the slightest glimpse into her life. It didn't matter, however, because nobody seemed to care. Everyone was going about their daily tasks, rushing to classes, and doing meaningless busywork.

If they were to stop to take just one careful look they would notice her blonde hair beginning to turn as white as the snow piling up on the ground beneath, her eyes turning a lighter shade of blue like the ice she walked upon, and her lips red from the burning wind blowing her hair into her face.

No one would care to notice that after wandering for weeks the girl was lost without memory of who she was or where she was going. Many wouldn't notice because they were trapped in the same world in which all you can do is pretend and all you do is worry.

She did not show her confusion, but rather went about with a dignified walk as if she new exactly where life was taking her. She would swipe the snowcovered hair out of her face and look straight forward. But, as she looked ahead she could see nothing but a white sheet of snow blurring her vision.
