- -=< Woke up in a rush >=-
- I was covered in sweat, but my skin cold to touch. Must have been another dream. Thank the gods that I can't remember it.
- I step to the sink for a drink of water. Despite having no idea what the dream was about, my hands are shaking and my heart is pounding.
- It must have been worse than most.
- Awake now, can't sleep again. Go for shower.
- advances down hallway. hears noise, a hollow creaking. Imagination? Spare room has been empty for two years.
- Slowly opens the door. Switches on the light. The room is different than before. Painted bright with rainbows and love.
- Child in a cot, swinging slowly from side to side, boat-like on a stormy ocean of memories and pain.
- Suffocating a wimper, advances to the cot. Staring up at her is a baby. A loving, joyous smile. A tightness clasps shut in her chest.
- -=< Flashbacks and memories >=-
- Her newly born child, and her loving husband. They had been together since teenagers for ten years.
- The child was a boy, and had been born on her birthday. It was the best gift she had ever recieved.
- A year passed and the child was beautiful. They loved it with all their fragile hearts.
- She wasn't working in order to care for the child. It was one day whilst the husband was at work.
- She had left the child alone whilst she was sunbathing in the garden on a particularly nice afternoon.
- It was only half an hour later when she re-entered the house. Her child was dead.
- The husband didn't blame her. Not out loud. He left anyway.
- -=< Back in the room >=-
- The child stared up at her now, beautiful eyes of heartbreaking sky blue.
- It had all been her fault. Had she been there it wouldn't have happened, of that she was certain.
- Husband appears behind her. Taunting dialogue. Protagonist apologises through the tears.
- Baby speaks also. It blames her. It tells her she was a terrible mother.
- The child tells her he was wrong to love her so. A waste of his perfectly good heart. The husband says the same thing.
- Screaming she runs from the room.
- -=< The parents >=-
- She is about to run out of the house, but when she reaches the living room there are some figures on the sofa.
- Edging around for a closer view, the figures turn. Her parents.
- They ask her to come and sit down, and she does. They smile and tell her how they found an excellent place to go on walks near her aunts house.
- They ask her how the child is doing. They ask her if her husband is still running the bakery.
- She tells them that the child is dead. She tells them that her husband left her. She tells them that he closed the bakery.
- They tell her she was always a crappy mother and wife. She was always so self-centered. She never thought about those around her.
- She stops crying and looks at her parents. They are right. Everything was her fault. She was always in the wrong.
- She was a negative factor in everybodys life. Nobody that knew her was thankful for it, no matter how warm their smiles.
- -=< The kitchen >=-
- She made her way to the kitchen, leaving her parents behind her.
- It had to end. It was a miracle she'd found a man willing to marry her in the first place.
- There was only one solution to her, and it was in the knife rack. Pulling out the largest knife she held it up to her neck.
- She thought back on all the mistakes in her life. All of the selfish acts she had performed. All of the messes she had made.
- She thought of her husband, how perfect he had been. She had never deserved him. It had been selfish of her to marry him. He deserved better.
- She thought of her families dissapointed faces, looking down on her and her pathetic existance.
- She gripped the handle tighter.
- -=< Awesome ending >=-
- She woke up in a rush, covered in sweat but her skin was cold as ice.
