Headaches, eye twitching and extreme confusion worried Mr. and Mrs. Maz. The were constant. Non stop. It became so bad that they had to drag Gaia over to the doctor.
" What is the most constant one?" The doctor questioned, " eye twitching ,headaches or the confusion?"
Agnes and Otto looked at one another, then at Gaia.
"What do you think Gaia?" They asked her.
Gaia rolled up her head and looked around.
"What?" She said frowning. She put a hand to her head.
"Ow." She mumbled. She slumped her head down again. Agnes and Otto sighed.
"Well." Said the doctor. He looked at both of them.
" All of them." They said in unison. The doctor clicked his tongue and scribbled something on his paper. He shuffled to the back of the room and searched through a cabinet of bottles. He examined the bottle he chose and wrote something else down. He shuffled back over and reluctantly handed Mrs. Maz the bottle.
" That should take down the headache pain." He explained, " but other than that I can't help you."
" Thank...you." Mrs. Maz said. She wasn't pleased.
On the way home, Gaia suddenly asked:
" How come we're renting a car?" She looked around the car and touched the seats.
" We aren't renting a car Gaia." Otto said. A long 30 minutes went buy in silence. Then Gaia broke it.
" It happened again, didn't it." Gaia said, " I got confused." Her parents nodded their heads.
" Mhm."
A salty tear ran down her face. What was happening?
