Let it play..
Cold and slightly damp the cool metal
pressed hard against her fragile skin. Whipping her hair flinging
it in her face there was a combination of sleeting rain and hard
wind, pushing against her, ultimately pressing her closer against
him. Uncomfortable at the feeling of being outside, for so long
she was trapped in the suffocating stale bitter air that
suppressed her like a caged animal, or was it not that long, she
had of course lost track. SNAP goes the flash as it blinds her
momentarily. She took a picture and will save it for when she
will soon again be caged. Her pictures aren’t like that of
a given camera, she can remember every thought, feeling, goose
bump, sweat drop, flick of the ear, and lingering taste, that
happened in that one moment. Is she mad or is she a genius that
she really doesn’t know but wishes quite the opposite of
both, in the second that has gone by where the picture was taken
and the wind has flung her hair estrange, she has become aware
that they aren’t watching her close at all. She smiles
carelessly convinced that’s what they want her to do, and
the tightening feeling on her forearm the slight squeeze from him
proves she was correct. Switch reverse backspace a picture has
snapped into her crooked vision. Salty, she hated the salty taste
that engulfed her taste buds as she sat on the new flashy metal
bench. It was Spring it should be hot, but the slightly too
brezzy air and the constant drizzle mix together to drive her
into a state of aggravation, he would do this to her. Goose bumps
overlap her slightly sun kissed chest and half exposed legs, she
thought it w would be warmer, but she was wrongZooming and
zipping the long high pitched sound makes her ears buzz, she
loves this meadow this park but she hates the alarming sounds of
the car horns. Throbbing temples, the saltiness on her tongue is
making the buzz grow and then yea bringing the dizziness on.
Creak, Creak, Creak, a snap and a crackle no pop, she’s not
eating cereal her head is spinning blacks and grays lingering
into the green of the park, in a second he’s there running
to her trying to keep her safe. Beeeeeeep, no the sound the sound
she hates, spinning even faster the sweat mixing with the rain
the goose bumps sprouting on top of the next, ears ringing , legs
shacking out of control, she’s going to fall down wait when
did she stand up. Another ominous beep that fades before she
hears it completely before she can ponder on this an explosion of
red of shrieks and crying out and orange and heat take on the
scene that was developing in her eyes, and right before the
saltiness takes over her brain, right before she can comprehend
the whole scene, she sees him his eyes half open glazed, his
mouth parted she knows they were forming the words he will never
get to say. And then she screamed, and the dizziness took hold
she thinks the scream is what was keeping her together all along.
And now she is screaming really screaming, she wasn’t even
there at all, she realizes she was hanging on to the wrong him
this was the wrong park the wrong scene, the wrong picture had
played. The stale air that taste too bitter is gretting her
as they struggle her back into the horrible cage of the white
walled room, she was so used to, She closes her eyes, letting the
pictures just play.
