>>Hael (Childhood)
My eyes fluttered open the same as the tears rolled down my face.
I was still on the floor, right where I had lost consciousness, "Mom?" And I still called out to her, because she was all I had, I had known only one other person and he was already long gone, "Mom?" But like usual I received no reply.
I couldn't move my body, it was hot and heavy. It felt like I weighed a thousand tons and at the same time it felt like I had no strength.
"I'm sick," I said, "I think…" My voice seemed to echo or maybe that was just me because I felt delirious. I waited for her reply but received none, which was expected. I had never been sick before, or I had been and I don't remember because I was far too young.
I'm sure I'm running a fever though, I read about it. But where is mom?
Is she still writing her letter? Can't she hear me? But, that's impossible. My voice should have traveled to her… She's just choosing not to listen to anything. She's that lost in her own mind.
