Retrospective trip
“You're a horrible woman. I don't want to see you anymore. I always hated you. I'm getting out of this house.” Jhon came out and closed the door forcefully.
Dominica put her wrinkled hands on her face, and her salty tears soaked the epidermis. The liquid of pain dripped through her fingers and gushed out, and sobs accompanied the melancholic melody of sadness.
Dominica's tousled whitish hair decorated that sad picture, which amid poverty accentuated the pain even more. A torn woolen shawl covered her skeletal body, a dull green skirt reached her ankles, and a black sweater to protect her from the cold.
A neighbor from Dominica arrived to check on her. The stomach cancer was taking its toll. “Madam, how are you?”
“Good afternoon, Miriam. I'm getting along with the pains of body and soul." The old woman's voice broke, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
“Don't worry, Madam. That ungrateful son of hers is not worth the tears she sheds.” Miriam passes her a porcelain bowl chipped at the edges. “I brought him some soup with chicken breast.”
“I don't want any, Miriam. The craving for food has long since left me.” Dominica curled up on one side of the bed.
“Madam, please eat. With the illness you have, you must be well fed.” Miriam left her bowl of soup on the table. “I'm going to feed the children and the husband. I will come to see you later. Please eat your soup.”
Dominica remained alone in the room, and a few flies stopped by the soup bowl while the poor old woman slept. At night, Jhon arrived, drunk and smoking a cigarette, and kicked the door hard.
