Another vision


A child awaits the arrival of his mother at a subway station.
Only to be greeted by the many people passing by each given second.
The dim green light is reflected onto his skin as he stands up.
He takes a peak around the station only to see that the long awaited arrival of his mother has gone terribly wrong. An officer walks up to the child, his eyes are dilated.
As the officer begins to speak the child blocks out all of the words pouring out into the station. He focuses on the single spoken words, "I'm sorry son, Your mother seems to have been in an accident." The child begins to see the lost memories of his mother flash before his eyes. He takes a step forward and weeps. His moans can be heard echoing throughout the station. He has nobody. Nobody to take care of him. Nobody to love him. He is all alone in this terrible world. The officers stares into the young child's eyes and whispers in his ear, "Everything is going to be ok." The blur of the passing people seems to become distant. The tears trickle down his cheek. For this child is alone.
