FOUNDATION

First it's the small things. It's the things that you think don't really matter all that much, but they do. They are the foundation, the comforts and the protectors. But now that they are gone everything's off. The walls cannot take the weight of the roof. The floor begins to moan with agony as it bends. Then it falls. What was once steady is now crumpled in a little heap. It lays a waste and causes people to question what happened. They think it must have been a huge storm or an enemies attack when really it was the foundation, when really they were never small things.
