"Hello" she said to no one
Silence.
"Honey" she said.
no answer, then tom her youngest walked down the hall and passed by without even recognizing his mom.
"what have I done" she whispered to her self.
She got up and went to her room where she went into the bathroom and read the label to her pills and took the whole bottle without knowing. she lay in bed staring at the celling and drifted of to sleep.
She woke up the next morning with a smile, got up and walked to the phone and made a phone call. She got dressed in her usual first date dress and waited. She sat at the parlor watching a dance between a boy and a girl.
There was a knock on the door but Mrs. Bowles did not move. She was fixed on the parlor watching the couple dance smiling at each other, then out of no where a young girl came on to the stage and danced a simple dance. when she was finished her parents came and gave her a hug.
Mrs. Bowles was now crying. She cried and cried remembering her past and what she had done. A door opened down the hall and her son tom came into the room and sat next to her and gave her a hug.
"What's wrong" he asked
"Nothing" she replied "Nothing at all."
