The Girl Lost To Time

She was like a bull in the sunshine— angry one moment, then happy the next. That’s what Olivia was: the way she was with everyone. A short series of well- regulated emotional stability, followed by a long series of emotional outbursts. She was loved, and she was hated. She was kind, then she was cruel. But most of all, she was confused— confused about why people left her, confused about why she couldn’t stay happy, or calm, or placated. Olivia was like a bull in the sunshine. She wanted to love, but she just couldn’t bring herself to give it to everyone.
