Here's a little tidbit on another new project I'm doing.
“Rath,
you awake yet?”
She
turned over, hoping it was her imagination talking.
“Come
on honey, you need to get up. The bus is going to leave without you if you
don’t.”
She
shifted, tossing the covers off.
“Mom,
the trip isn’t until tomorrow.”
“Doesn’t
matter, you need to get to school.”
“Right,
no one will care if I skip classes today,” Rath muttered once she was sure her
mother was no longer at the door. “Half the senior class is skipping today to
go shopping for the trip.”
Shaking
off the potential argument she laid in bed a little longer. The dream she’d had
was still on the tip of her tongue, lingering.
Getting
up, she flipped the switch on the lamp sitting on her desk. Opening a tall
sketch book to a new page she started sketching the woman who kept appearing in
her dreams each night. The woman who also appeared in her nightmares when Rath
wasn’t looking.
She
didn’t have to see the woman there to know she was.
Finishing
the quick sketch she left the book open when she got dressed for school.
Dumping the sketch book into her bag she headed down the stairs towards the
kitchen.
“I’ve
got some toast here for you, and a sack lunch.”
“Thanks
mom,” Rath dumped her stuff while she rummaged for a few other things to add to
her bag. It never hurt to have light, non-noisy snacks in her bag when classes
became dull.
“Is
there anything else you need me to get you for the trip tomorrow?”
Rath
considered it, “No. I want to save the extra space for shopping when I get down
there.”
What are you up to this month?
