Helpless, but in Love

Microfiction

“America, how can you expect me to care about something you don’t even want me to have,” Aurora shouted at her t.v. screen. The pain spilling from her heart filled the room.

Her boyfriend sat with his hands on his heart. How can he, a White man, fix this?

He can’t.

The sound of the unanswered questions streaming from centuries past pummeled his ears, still, all he heard was Aurora’s scream.

And inside, he screamed too.

*Author’s Note: This microfiction piece began as a response to a Twitter prompt. The word used for that was Aurora.
