The woman cooed you baby to sleep before
- The woman cooed you baby to sleep before she heard the crash. Turning around she saw the broken glass on the floor.
- She grabbed the broken glass in her fist. Crimson rivlets trickled down her arm and she let it drop into the baby's mouth.
- And then, she woke up, shaking, sweating profusely, and finding that she oddly was gripping a handful of rice as she slept. Had someone put the rice in her hand?
- she raised her hand and the rice slipped from it to the floor where, as it landed, it spelled out a message:
- "Let go," it said. "Forgive yourself of holding order, keeping all the pieces. You can not keep each grain, from softening and being consumed." She stilled her hand from arranging
- the flowers on the table. "But it's got to be perfect for him." she said quietly. She sighed. "I guess I'm done then."
- "Ah, but not so fast." a little voice inside her head said. "It's not over 'til it's over. You must not give up. Go wash your face & put on some red lipstick." The front door slamm
- rudely. "See anything green?" she snarked at him. The little kid on the tricycle pointed at her and chirped, "Your lipstick is green!" triumphantly, as if he might win a prize.
- "You better run home, you brat," the woman held back no longer. Ironically, the kid's face turned faintly green as he felt like giving up his lunch. "You're a witch!" he yelled.
