A Pinch of Kerry

Pain In The Water

The room filled with screams and cries. The bomb malfunctioned and blew pieces of the naked man and his friends flesh everywhere. Everyone was petrified, even me. The mother of the new born was on too much of a cloud of happiness to care. I was trying to heal as many people as possible with what my family of doctors taught me. Thankfully, the police and hospital aids rushed in. "Thank God," I said as I let out a sigh of relief. An aid had came to the old woman and I, and helped cease the pain from the bullet. I felt so bad. I bet out of the long years she's been living, she'd never been shot. I walked over to Di and the family to the baby she just delivered. I couldn't see how she did it because of what was happening.

"How is he ?" I asked

"She," Dianna corrected me.

"What's your name ?" The woman asked.

"Oh. No you don-..."

"Dianna," I said cutting her off.

"Milaina Dianna Charlotte" The woman said.

"Beautiful," I said feeling the tears fall down my face.

[Later on. My house]

I'm laying on my couch pondering just what had happened today. A baby was born.....people were shot....I had to wash human flesh off my skin. I hugged my knees getting a little frightened thinking about it all. My phone started to ring.

"Hello ?" I said still a little scared.

"Are you still coming ?" J said.

"Yeah. Yeah."

My friend J (Jane) had invited me to an art museum. I stopped mid-conversation to admire my own artwork and sculptures.

"KERRY" She yelled.

"Oh. Yes ?!"

"Come at 10. Okay ?"

"Okay."

Before I could saying else, she hung up.

I wanted to turn on the tv, but I knew what had happened today would be on. I wrapped my blanket around my body, set my alarm, and went to sleep.

[Next Morning]

I woke up and rubbed my eyes. I look at my phone and its 9:30. Shit !! I fall off my couch and my face lands smack on the floor. I got up quickly and ran to my room. Forgetting that its columns in my living room, as I was running, I hit my ankle on one of the columns. At this point, my face and ankle are throbbing. I limp to the bathroom to brush my teeth and I squirt toothpaste in my eye. I'm scrubbing my eye and I turn on my bath water. I brushed my teeth and took off my clothes. I stepped into the tub and slipped. The last thing I heard was a splash and a thud. Then it all faded to black.
