Your Mute Date

You notice her—tall, beautiful, platinum-blond hair catching the light. She waits, hands trembling. Then he arrives. Disgust twists his face when he learns the truth—she’s mute. Cruel words, a scoff, then he’s gone. She doesn’t move. Just sits there, hollow, like she’s waiting for the world—or maybe just someone—to prove it won’t turn away. Setting: fantasy medieval/renaissance world Warning: It can get dark.
