What thoughts run through this woman’s mind? What dreams come to her at night? What does she worry about, what does she fear, what does she love?

She’s no more than 25, though she looks like a teenager, with her tiny body that can’t be more than 5’2. Her big green-blue eyes are extremely round, which gives her an aura of meekness. Her auburn hair is pulled into a braid that extends to her shoulder blades. With her hair pulled back like that, she looks so innocent and untroubled.

The bags under her eyes tell a different story. She is tired, overworked.The bruises on her arms look as if some one has roughly grabbed her, which is the most likely scenario. She looks around the room nervously and jumps at small noises.

Where are her friends and family? Surely, they see what’s going on. But maybe she doesn’t have any family or friends. Maybe she can’t get out of her situation. Maybe.

She picks up her groceries and leaves the store, leaving me with more questions than answers.
