Have any wish?: Blinding Lights
#LastWords
I could see nothing but really bright light and my eyes were almost blinded by it. I closed my eyes only to open it again, to see a dimly lit room, like an interrogation room I see in movies. I could see a figure in front of me looking at me, practically boring holes in me. It was a young woman who looked like she was in her thirties, she looked at me and made no attempt to introduce herself or explain how I got myself here.
Her gaze were piercing through me, it felt like she could see through every fibre of me. I wiped my clammy hands on my skirt and looked around nervously avoiding her gaze. I heard my name and I looked up, to be honest I didn't look up because I heard my name but her sweet gentle voice were by far opposed to her menacing gaze and stance.
"How fancy" She continued fixing her eyes on my watch that I hurriedly tried to hide.
" Why am I here?" I said nervously.
"You don't remember" She said looking a little bit confused. 'What was she talking about?' I thought until I felt it, like a big blow in my head, it wasn't like I felt it but it was like I was reliving it, like it had happened ages ago then it all clicked.....'The accident?'
" Where's my mom?!' I said in panic
" Uh....well, when I picked you up, you were alone"
"What are you talking about?, I was in an accident with my mom"
" Oh" She nervously said breaking her gaze from me, she paced for a bit back and forth. Now it was her turn to avoid my gaze. Then there was a sound, it was really brief, and she turned suddenly. "She's here"
"Who's here?" I said a bit impatient. I mean who wouldn't be, it was going to be our last vacation as a girl duo before my baby brother would be born. The accident was sudden, one time, we were singing happily to the music from the radio then another time we were on the floor looking at each other helplessly.
"Your Mom"
"Great" I paused for a moment as she made no effort to open the giant doors that I had just noticed behind me. "Let her in?"I said a little hesitant unable to read the expression on this stranger's face.
" I can't" She said with what I assume to be sympathy " I can't" She said again
" What do you mean you can't, are you kidding me right now?"
" This place is not for the dead" She said in a whisper
"What?"
"Your mom, she's dead”
