I’ll Be Good, Mom
It’s so loud… I just want some quiet…
“Mom, I didn’t mean to disturb Liam…
“I love you both so, so much. I love my brother so much, too…
“I really wanted to become your pride, but… I think I don’t have the strength anymore…
“I still have so much homework to finish. I haven’t finished memorizing my Spanish words…
“Mom, I want to do my homework… but I don’t have the strength anymore…”
…
Then, my consciousness began to rise.
My perspective shifted in a strange way, and the sharp pain from the headphones disappeared.
The feeling was so wonderful…
From the surveillance camera Mom installed to monitor the house came a burst of static, and her voice followed.
