The Dreams of the Mother
“Do you like what you’re reading?” My mom’s voice from the door of the bedroom we share in my great grandmother’s house startles me. My cheeks are hot, and looking into the mirror of the dresser I’m standing in front of, I can see that they’re pink, my green eyes wide in a mix of fear and confusion. On top of the dresser is a stack of papers, typed carefully by my mother on her old typewriter. “Willie the Fisherman’s Parrot” by Cathy *** ******, it’s titled. It’s my mom’s book in progress, and while at the age of five years old, I can read it quite easily, it isn’t what I was doing.
