Glistening tears

"It is my second day at school, I am three years old, I am wearing a red woolen cardigan and I am sobbing uncontrollably, I remember the wall painted in a cream gloss and it appears almost liquid-like, I am facing this wall. I also remember my cardigan being very wet and glistening with my tears. All the sounds around me are muffled- I feel very.miserable and scared."
