Through All Ages

60th

After breakfast I payed and left the cafe. Walking down the street I wondered what I should do. Visiting Roxy seamed to be the right thing. So I took the next train and drove to the hospital. In a dark corner I changed my age to 19 with black hair and the blue strand again. Quickly I found her room and entered. She seamed tired but her face lit up when she saw me. „Hey there!“, she greeted me. „Hi“, I smiled back. „Where were you the past week?“, she asked. „I was just around“, I said. „How are you?“, I went on. „Well, it’s pretty much the same. I’m okay. The medicine makes me sleepy“, Roxy answered. „Should I leave you alone then?“, I asked. „No, please, stay. I need some destraction. It’s kinda boring already“, she replied.

I nodded and told her a lie what I was doing the past week. I said I was shopping and swimming in the pool of the hotel, in the park and traveled around with the train, was in an art museum, met a guy and made a few new friends here and there. „So, what about Martin, your boyfriend?“, She wanted to know. I remembered I told her about him. „I haven’t seen him since then“, I responded. „So, that was it? It’s over?“, she asumed. „No, I don’t know“, I admided. He didn’t text me the past week. Maybe I should send him a message.

We talked a little more and Roxy fell asleep then. I sighed and let myself down in a chair near her. I wanted to stay here a little longer. I looked at a table near the chair and took a lokal newspaper. I got through it and an article caught my attention. It was about a young family who were looking for their baby. Erin and Christina. It said their missing baby disapeared last night and only left a destroyed crib. The police was looking for evidence. They will never find anything. They won’t find me. I was gone.
