The Child

Two small hollow dimples had accompanied the delicate pink watermelon slice shaped smile that had inhabited the little girl's heart shaped face. Freckles that had been sprinkled in batches on top of her peach toned skin, causing it to look like stars on a clear summer night. Tiny white, milky teeth danced in her mouth, sticking in all sorts of directions, and when she laughed her small baby nose crinkled, hiding the freckles on the bridge of her nose under her wrinkles. Her intense spearmint green eyes, pierced through anyone who looked in them for too long, and was surrounded by a thin muddy brown ring on the border that seperated the sharp mint green with the paper white of her eye. Her lashes strawberry blonde, like her long straight hair that had reached down to her waist.
