I tried to do one of [livejournal.com profile] brandywine ´s writing promts .

AN: I cheated a little. I added some words from the list to the title to have it make sense. Also. I didn´t manage to have 400 words exactly. Without the title, it´s 408 words. Close enough, I think. I´m afraidI got a little repetitive, but the prompt kind of enforced that.
Obviousely, I also didn´t combine it with the other promt.

On with the story...

Mom is sick on the bathroom floor

I come in and call for her. Is no one there? "Mom?" No word, but a sound. What is this all about? I call one more time. "Mom? Are you in the bathroom?" When there is no word, I come in.
I find her on the bathroom floor. I look down at her. She is sick. What do I do now? Call some people? Are there people I can call? "Mom?" No word. And no sound, this time.

I go over to her. She is hot. How can I…what can I do? Should I use some water? She is so hot. How can she be so hot? "Mom?"

Now what? Use more water? "MOM!" No word, no sound. There is some thing on the floor. I know what it is, that thing, but…

But she is my mom. Why did she do this? I know some people who said no one should do this. So why did mom do it, then? If no one should, than no mom should. What would these people say now? What would they do? They said I could come to them, I could call them. Should I? "Mom? What should I do?" No word.

I go out of the bathroom. I will call the other people. I know their number.

" My mom is sick."

"She is hot."

"What should I do? Do you know what I should do?"

Should they know about the thing? No. If no one should use it, then … But she is so hot. They may know what to do. They may know what to do if they know about the thing.

"There is this thing on the floor."

"The thing that the other people said no one should use. And now she is sick. And hot. What do I do?"

There is a sound from her. "Mom?" No more sound.

"We are on the bathroom floor. There is water on her and on me and on the floor." There is.

I do what he said I have to do. Now they know the way, now they can come. They will know what to do for her.

I had to do that. She is my mom, I had to do what they said, they are the people who know what to do.

Mom will know that I had to do it, she will. She has to.

I go out so that when they come, I can show them the way to the bathroom.



That´s it. Tell me what you think. I believe it has never before taken me so long to write such a short text, but it was definitely an interesting experience.
