Reminisce

Reminisce strolls from somewhere deep within the dark, a silver box dragging behind her of its own will. Her eyes roll about the blackness; across the deliberate faces of the three evils before me. She glances up at me and smiles, a wave fluttering across her slim fingers.

I know why you're here she sings, her voice as brilliant as a birds. She might have well been a bird in a previous life-- her body is long and jittery, her step a never ending skip. Reminisces voice is a song, an infinite lullaby that brings a bubble of something foreign to my throat. She bounces forward, her buttery dress fluttering behind her like a million ribbons helplessly tangled together. Or perhaps they resemble wings, feathers...

You shouldn't be here. Malicious snarls. Get out.

She should know Shriek protests

Perhaps she should, Fight ponders aloud, at least she'd know what she's fighting for... Why I am here. She lifts her fingers to her lips and picks the blood from under her nails with her shining teeth.

She doesn't need to know! She has me! Malicious cries bitterly.

I watch in a daze as the scene unfolds like mistaken origami. They bicker back and forth for long moments, voices rise and rise and rise until the ceiling of my mind is finally found. Reminisces box jiggles happily behind her, it's blunt edges clattering on the midnight floor. Muffled yells, bellows, giggles, laughs and awkward conversations dribbling from its creases. Reminisce is simple and quiet. Her broken glass eyes run absently between her companions, but not once do her lips move. She sighs and runs her fingertips along the seams of her dress, uninterested it seemed.

She will know! Reminisce abruptly shouts, silencing the crowd of voices. In one swift movement her hand spreads toward the box and she pushes toward the ceiling, her eyes closing. The box creaks, wobbles and a drawer slowly crackles open.

My love... She whispers, her eyes boring into mine, you will know. Oh, you will know.

Don't do this...

She won't understand...

Please!

She will know.

But where did Mother go? It seems as though all of these personified qualities appeared after her disappearance, am I not correct?
