Her Light and My Darkness
She gasped for air, her face turning from pale to the gray of the grave.
Her head slowly dipped beneath the lake's surface.
Desperate, I reached for her arm, but my hands just kept slipping through her, powerless to save her.
My mother's struggle ceased. Her eyes snapped open, locking onto mine.
Tears streamed down as she whispered, "Yocelyn, did you come for me?"
She could... see me.
My eyes widened in shock as I cried out, "Mom—"
"Mrs. Carden!"
Just then, Samuel's voice cut through the silence like a knife.
