#nomention

Mulling over past happenings. People. Given-nicknames. Absurd glares from mere acquaintances--many of whom hide behind seemingly fine education, relative beauty, even church and its often misused righteous activities.

There is always a few in every community. People who whisper behind one's back, who find joy in the spreading of unconfirmed news, and even more, the creating of false information they would later on pass to others as facts. People who think they know someone well enough to understand them, without realizing they have only enough reasonable stance to shallowly judge. And of course, right? Shallow judgments and it's most valid premises? Mind smirk, right there, in case the sarcasm was not obvious.

And the one behind whose back they are speaking of (in the lowest possible volume) is unexcused to elucidate. How would one find the time, anyway, when the silent whispers are being done in sneaky camouflage-wearing troops? So called facts flying around faster than time.

Harmless, they think. But is it?

She thought it was funny.
