Week 2 - Anamnesis

She apparently landed on a rock and was knocked out. The flashbacks of her and her friends as little kids laughing and running through the back yard with a rubber kickball, living in the fisheye lens. They contained all the uncertainty of being looked over by a new doctor for the very first time. The same uncertainty of feeling stuck in the car, raining, waiting for her mother to come walking out from inside the garage. While dogs bark at the car from the outside. Are those dogs barking to help or hurt her? She finally wakes up from her numb, feeble state of mind, just in time to see a black dog run from her, going toward the tree line under the moonlight. That dog ended up looking back from where it ran from, then it put it's head down sniffing the ground while slowly walking into the woods. The girl gets up, she feels a cold wind come down across her, blowing her hair forward from behind, slow-motion beauty. Wind as cold as the initial dry stick of iron gates in the winter time. She looks up, has her hands on her forehead, then drops to her knees. Who couldn't hear the screams...?

Week 1 - Through a dream

Weekends...preferably Sunday afternoons. Out with certian friends. Walking through the fields, high bright contrast. Girls with the big white sunglasses and the thin baggy messenger bags slung over one shoulder. Smoking when she can, she roughly discusses the most recent gossip. Taking in the mid-summer's fresh air and embracing the slight, cool breeze, she up and looks around toward the trees while experiencing the common light-headed marijuana high. It's now evening, she comes up to a small pond, with the overwhelming sound of bullfrogs and crickets. She kicks off her flip-flops and sticks her feet into the water's edge after sitting down on the grass. Leaning back on her elbows, she observes the evening sky above. Showing colors of orange, purple, blue and light yellow. Recent jet streams are woven over the sky while light rays are piercing through the edges of the clouds. Taking another drag from her Marlboro, she falls into vertigo...call the EMT's.
