Two Can Play
“It's so bright. I can hear faint laughter.
Then I drift away as it darkens again.
Through the darkness I hear a child's voice calling me. Did I hear the word Mommy...?
My eyes fly open.
I'm lying on soft short grass. It's full of daisies, everywhere. As my eyes come into full focus, I see a young boy standing before me. Dressed in a loose white shirt and black pants. No more than three or four years old. Collar-length dark hair sweeps around his chubby face. His brown eyes twinkle with mischie...f. He looks familiar, but I don't know why.
He holds out his small hand and I take it, rising from the ground effortlessly, weightlessly, and I follow him toward a house, situated on the brow of a small incline in the distance.
“Is that your house?” I ask him.
He giggles. A beautiful high-pitched childlike giggle. “Silly Mommy, it's our house.”
“What's your name?” I ask him. He's obviously confusing me with someone else. I'm not his mommy and I don't live here. Actually, I don't know who I am or where I live.MoreLess
