Chapter #4
Mom's world
by: Unknown
You don't have a lot of energy right now. The stress of swapping into your mom's body and then interacting with all of her children - you, your sisters - has drained you, and now you'd prefer to recuperate before you make any corrective procedures.
You walk downstairs, glad that the bandau-style bra keeps your breasts from jiggling. Your brother bumps into you at the bottom. He holds a plate of grilled cheese that he carries up to his room. You continue on to Mom's room. Only Mom's; Dad left before you can remember.
The room's not untidy but it shows wear from usage. There are a pile of clothes on the ironing board in the back right corner. Mom's bed juts from the left wall. The covers lying at its feet burn with autumn colors. The closets are overflowing with clothes, boxes for trinkets, and books. Your mom, you remember, is a voracious reader.
Sunlight streams in through curtained windows. You see the dust floating around you. You walk farther in up to the ironing board and turn right to look inside the bathroom. It's dark, but you can make out Mom's reflection pretty well. Wild, barely-tamed hair erupts from the silhouette with a sharp chin. The reflection just touches the bottom of the medicine cabinet, while your old neck nearly passed it. You go inside and turn on the light. Mom winces in the mirror. You lean in close so you can see the white streaks in her blue pupils. You look at every wrinkle and tired line on her face. You feel her hooked nose. Tentatively, you grab her breasts, and your reflection does the same.
"This is freaky," you hear yourself say. It calms you somewhat. This is less punishment, more curious mystery. And for now you're happy entertaining it, until more answers come along.
