His head swam and hands shook. Four days. It had been four days since his last drink and every one of them had been a fight. He saw bottles everywhere. The fire hydrant turned into Jim Bean. The tree dangled grey goose over his head. All he had to do was reach for it, reach for another drink.

I held my breath as the grocery store scooter hit a bump. Pain radiated out from my abdomen. My eyes clenched shut and I almost cried. Ever since the surgery, it felt like someone had attacked my midsection with a cheese wire. The doctor told me I could walk and push a cart, which would have been all well and good except for the car ride to the store. Every bump jiggled my stomach and even though there was no visual evidence of such, I swear it pulled on my stitches.

I headed to the frozen food aisle since there was no way in Hell I would be cooking this week. When I rounded the corner, I saw a mother carrying her child. It didn’t take telepathy to know what she thought of me. Her eyes caught mine, roamed down to the scooter and then back up. She saw a twenty-two year old riding a scooter. She didn’t see the four incisions in my belly, kept together by stitches and glue. She didn’t see my missing ovaries, uterus, and tubes. She saw a lazy girl taking resources from the elderly.

I passed the frozen food, my cheeks flushed with embarrassment. It might have been different if I had a cast on my foot, something she could see. When one of the store clerks glared at me, I abandoned the scooter and walked slowly, painfully back to the car. Tonight, I would order takeout.

“Good grief, what are you doing in the grass?”

I carefully picked my way through the marsh, doing my best to avoid the mud but I already knew I’d be putting my beautiful shoes in a plastic bag and driving barefoot on the way home.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”

My girlfriend pulled the camera away from her face and looked up at me. Thankfully, she had her own car because she would be buck ass naked before I let her get mud all over my passenger seat. I looked at the sunset. It was nice, but not lay in the mud to get a picture nice.

“Yeah, but you didn’t answer my question. What are you doing in the grass.”

She laughed at me. Actually giggled though I did find the sound endearing. “Sometimes you need to look at the world in a different perspective.

The snake weaved between my fingers. Black and white lattice. A tiny forked tongue sprung out and licked my thumb. I shut my eyes as it slithered. The feeling was strange but welcome. I tightened my hold and it bit me. It was weak and soft. My grasp tightened until the snake burst into ashes. Tiny black scales appeared on my fingers, racing down to my hands and arms.

Apart from the obvious desire to begin writing on this wonderful blog I really felt like voicing my thoughts on the beginnings of Ermilia, Ermisenda and Eliabeth.
