PAN 24
SOMEWHERE
" Jessie" the voice said, "Jessie, whaat the hell do you think you are doing?"
Jessie was groggy, the voice was coming from above her head.
she was lying, on the floor?
But the floor was not solid, again the voice.
"I'm talking to you Jessica Plesance Darlin. What is going on?"
She opened her eyes, the first color she saw was blue, she was lying prone on a blue floor.
the fllor was hard but soft, but not cold, it was warm.
She rolled over.
the celing was also blue.
Sky Blue.
and the walls too.
"Jessica." the voice called sternly.
It was coming from the front where she lay.
She sat up,
and saw...
Her Mother.
Amy sat in a blue chair, cushioned, much like a throne. Next to a blue one legged side table.
It held a teqapot and a cup.
Her mother sat, her kegs crossed, she was sipping something from her own blue tea cup she raised to her lips. Her eyes fixed upon Jessie.
Amy was wearing a white dress.
"Would you like to explain yourself, young lady?"
"Mom?" Jessie asked, brushing her hair out of her eyes.
Her Mother sat her teacup down on the blue table. She picked up the pot a poured some tea into the other empty cup. She placed it on a saucer, picked it up and stood.
She rose from the chair holding the cup and saucer, crossed the room. and knelt before Jessie, holding out the warm tea as an offering to Jessica.
"Here" She said.
"Take a sip."
Jessie looked up at her Mother, then at the cup.
The tea was blue too.
"Why is it blue?" Jessie asked.
Amy looked at her, wrinkling her nose, a puzzled look coming across her face. She kneeled down bringing her face closer to her daughter.
"Don't ask me," she said, "This is your room."
Amy stood up and walked back to her chair.
"You brought me here, not the other way around."
Amy sat down, and picked up her cup, and took a sip. her eyes on Jessie.
"So I'll ask you again Jess, 'What the hell do you think you're doing?' "
And then Jessie woke up.
