Cold Heart
“He rubbed his chin and realized he had a couple of days of stubble now. No matter, his mother wasn’t going to notice. She had been mostly unconscious the whole time he’d been here, many times her breathing so shallow he thought she had left him. There was nothing but the chair he was sitting in and the bed in the room. The recliner she had used for awhile when she was still able to get out of bed had long since been removed. The nursing home was quiet except for the occasional voice of a staff ...member or a resident and the beep, beep, beep of the monitor they had wired up to his mother, now that the end was near. The flowers Carter brought when he’d come, did nothing to override the antiseptic smell of the room.
It was said that your life flashed before you as you were dying. He doubted that there was anything going on inside his mother’s head. His life on the other hand was replaying over and over for him as he sat waiting for her to leave this world. Carter remembered sitting on her knee, maybe at about three, how she would play with his hair and kiss him.MoreLess
