100 Word Challenge ~ Fringe

Fringe

She danced to music that nobody else heard, swaying one second, and bouncing madly the next. She chattered when she walked down the street garnering bemused stares from anyone she passed.
Her family had left her long ago, at a special place, as they called it. A place where people just “like her” lived and grew up together. She was little then. Pigtails and a gingham shirt neatly tucked into her Oshkosh B'Gosh overalls, she looked so innocent and sweet.
Years went by and she never saw her mama or her papa again.
When she was eighteen she was free.
