Perched at the top of my thoughts, I slowly recover Lois's death. Without her, every limb in my body is bounding with fear. What will I do without her? What do I need to do to re-calibrate? How can I move on? These thoughts race through my mind. That's when I realize, I have a mystery man to meet. 7 o'clock sharp, behind the dumpsters at Moe's. Was he telling the truth? Was he really the head of an alliance? I got to stop asking myself questions. But how can I? Even my life is questionable.
The clock reads 9:00 am, and all of a sudden I feel a vibration in my pants pocket. It's my phone, I suddenly reach for it expecting it to be that mysterious man that called me yesterday. But it's not, it's the hospital. Pain grips me, and I shed a tear. No, it couldn't be...It's...My mother!
I fly to the hospital as fast as I could. Then I stand at reception hoping I can find out what room my mother is in. The lady at the reception is oddly a petite woman. It looks like she used a wrench to tighten that bun of hers. But, back to reality, my mother is in the hospital; and I have to figure out where she is.
"Hi, I am looking for Lara Kent please."
"Are you in any way related to her?" Asks the receptionist.
"Yes, I am her son." I reply.
"Hall 207, fourth door on the left."
"Thank you." I say in a cracked voice.
As I walk to the room the receptionist told me my mother was in, I thought about my childhood. I never fit in, with anybody. I remember when I was scared I would walk away from my classroom, and hide in the janitor's closet. The school had to call in my mother, and she told me to let everything go, to think of remote island paradise. The thought of the free space always calmed me down. My mother has always helped me, even through all the scenes with my abilities. It seems that everyone in my life I have ever loved, is slowly leaving me. I stop, I see my mom laying in a hospital bed.
"Mom?"
