Unwell alters
IT was a warm day in Waycross 2013. I was dealing with my sick aunt. She was weak and mentally fragmented due to sickness and recent abuse. This gave rise to 4 alternate personalities. Each of these were Melanie but also had unique traits.
"Aunt Mel, its me." I said.
"She's not in, its me Aunt Lexi." She replied meekfully weakly. I walked into the room to find Alexis seated on the couch watching TV. She was pale so that her skin nearly matched her hearing aids. She was thin except her pregnant belly. She was slumped on the couch a bit as I sat down. She seemed tired.
"Aunt Lexi are you tired?" I asked.
"Yeah but I want to go outside." She replied weakly. Understanding her need to go outside, I helped her to her feet. We went out for fresh air. We spent several minutes outside just relaxing. It reminded me out Aunt Mel. She saw my sad face and hugged me. She was so sweet.
"You miss Mel don't you?" She asked weakly.
"Yeah I wish she'd come out." I said sadly. Suddenly she froze. She shut her eyes tight. They snapped open. When they did, she seemed different. It was Melanie.
"Aunt Mel is it you?" I asked whispering.
"Yeah but don't talk so loud. Oh I have Llexi's hearing aids in." She replied weakly taking them out and handing them to me and I put them back into the rechargeable case.
"Aunt Mel I'm so glad to see you." I said hugging her gently.
"I missed you too Angel. I've had a tough time getting back, Tracy wouldn't let me out. She's scary." She said weakly returning my hug.
