The Writhing Session 7
Her anger lingers in her mind.
“Hi, Andrea, how did your meeting with your father go?”
“He died.”
“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. How did he die?”
“He was hit by a bus.”
Andrea walked to the closet and ripped open the door. She pulled out the memory machine, “Have a seat.”
“What, you want to see my memories? These sessions aren’t about me, they’re about you.”
“I know, have a seat!” Andrea grinds her teeth and forces Marinda to sit on a chair. She threw the helmet onto her therapist’s head.
“Mmm, which memory to relive?”
“Andrea, you don’t have to do this! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have told you to meet with your father. You weren’t ready. Let’s talk about this!” Marinda shouts from inside the helmet.
“It’s too late for apologizing and talking.”
Andrea removes the remote from Marinda’s pocket. Andrea presses a button that said “LOCK”. The helmet locked on Marinda’s head, while she struggles to remove it.
“Andrea! Andrea!”
Marinda closes her eyes.
Andrea turns the dial and chooses the worst memory. She pulls off the dial and kicks the machine down. She runs off.
Marinda is stuck in a loop of seeing her past self hear a robber break into her house. She follows herself to the nursery and finds an empty bassinet. She realized the robber kidnapped (babynapped) her child from his bassinet.
