Sabrina McLain:
Sometimes time just
s l o w s
d
o
w
n
and
that happened to me
as I followed Mom
down the carpeted hallway
towards
Dr. Santiago's
therapy room.
Time just slowed down and I looked
at the back
of Mom's head.
And I felt Baylee
next to me.
And for a second,
this weird
tingling
happened all over my body
and my world just seemed to
STOP.
And I felt like
Giggles was right next to me.
I could imagine her,
with her cigarette-scented sweatshirt
and her baggy-around-the-ankles skinny jeans,
and her pale, freckly skin
and her shiny dark blonde hair.
And her eyes, with that
haunted
and
hunted
look in them.
And I got so mad
and so sad
because I thought that
I'd stopped getting haunted by Giggles
a while ago.
But apparently
Dad dying made all of my
successes
turn into
miserable failures.
And that was kind of stupid
as time sped up again
and I filed into
Dr. Santiago's office.
