Last thing I saw was my mom and sister-in-law above me. My mom was crying and my sister-in-law had a scared face with tears about to fall.
I reach my hand out to tell her “it’s ok, don’t cry mom” but I failed I couldn’t speak. She held my hand crying with tears coming down hitting my face. I squeezed her hand with all the might in my body… then everything went black.
I try to think back to what had happened, but I couldn’t. It was like everything was slipping from my grasp. All the light from my memory was fading. I ran and ran as fast a possible, I ,I don’t want to forget anything. I don’t regret anything but…
I fell asleep, or at least everything went away even thoughts and it was quiet and black. But only minutes later I heard people talking; an old man’s voice and a middle aged woman’s voice.
I open my eyes but close them as fast as I opened them. So bright, like I was looking at the sun directly.
“Oh my dear, it’s too bright, close the blinds”I hear a woman’s voice say.
“Yes madam” a younger voice replied while the light faded.
The woman said “dear it’s ok to open your eyes now”
She reminded me of my mom. I do miss her and everyone. I open my eyes, yup I had confirmed the old woman. She’s look and acted just like my mother. She must be one to be this gentle with another person. The middle aged women had red long hair with blonder pieces here and there, her face was gentle with a small warming smile that felt comfortable. She was wearing something that only story books have. A long beautiful dress, pushing her chest out and her waist in, every inch of her legs were covered by the long dress. He arms free like a bird, bony and small. The dress was exactly like Cinderella, but slightly more causal.
“Dear?” The lady looks concerned “are you ok do you need anything?”
I thought about what I wanted to say while staring straight at her, I must be scaring her. I replied with “I’m sorry who are you and-“ I was cut off. Not by anyone or anything, but the fact that there was literally a black mist overnight right over her it-it looked anger at the lady.
“Lily?!” She was scared “Lily, its me. I know it’s been a long time and the last time I saw you, you were with your mother. God you have grown so big” she smiled brightly “well I better stop beating around the bush I’m Alexandra, but just call me great grandma”.
Is this the dark age? 😶
