I replay the scene over in my head. I know she said that because she acted like she just beat a world record or something. She kept saying it over and over…Oh I forgot to tell you my mom can be a little absent minded sometimes. I wouldn’t say she’s stupid just- you know different but anyway now that you know and it’s no problem lets continue. My thoughts continued almost like a movie knowing exactly what to do. Ok so she reaches for the tape but doesn’t realize she’s LET GO of the T.V.! She frantically rushes across the room tripping on her popcorn bowl her hair getting in the way through the mass of hair she looks up to see the coming tragedy when suddenly it’s dead silent…. Of course I knew something was wrong and I asked mom but no answer so I went down the stairs to where my mom was trembling under all the mess she made. Suddenly everything was going too fast and my thoughts went to that horrible night-when mom got really sick. I didn’t want to think about it but it was attacking me nagging me until I finally gave in until I had to face it slowly I could hear the familiar sounds of the night the T.V. turned up loud occasional laughter came from the T.V. women shrieking with laughter. Mom was watching a comedy show. That was before dad left when everything was happy. Slowly everything in my mind went back to that day when I was four years old And Holly was staying at Grandma Mabel’s house. Sammy and Emma weren’t born yet. It’d already gotten this far so I let it…

“Mommy? Aren’t you going to fix T.V.?” no answer she just sat there staring at the T.V. her eyes blank “ Mommy? Mommy! What’s wrong! Are you sick?” Her mouth fell open but still she was completely silent. Frantically probably looking just like she did when she tried to catch the T.V. shook her shoulders. Her hair flounced but still no movement. Now I was scared so I kept at it for 20 minutes shaking her and calling her name waving my hands before her eyes desperately watching to see if she responded “ Mommy!” now I yelled it louder and louder but she couldn’t hear I thought she was dead but I couldn’t face the fear lurking in the air like a greedy lion so I tried something else. I ran back up to my room. Looking everywhere I was tearing apart my room pulling out drawers and upending everything I pulled out my carpet but it wasn’t there I threw a shoe and it crashed into a lamp. I couldn’t find it where was it? I knew it was here almost about to give up when I sat down on the floor and saw something catch the light something shiny and crawled over to and dug it up there it was but it took all that just to find it I held it tight in my sweaty hand and rushed out the room raced down the stairs back to my mothers side.
