Leaning forward, she pulled down on each of Flora's ears. -=O=- Flora's eyes fluttered a second, then flew open. She saw Mandy, and smiled uncertainly. She stood stock still, looked around, and failed to recognize her surroundings. Her eyes grew wide. She was standing in a bathroom stall. The last thing she remembered, she had been sitting at the ice cream shop table, talking with Jason and Mandy about the kids who ran the place. "Oh, shit," she said softly. "Well," said Mandy, "are you ready to go back?" "Back?" "Back to the hotel." "Back to the hotel," echoed Flora, "Uh, sure." She took inventory of the stall. Herself, Mandy, and Mandy's shopping bag. Nothing else. She knew what had been done- they'd been playing with it for years, but only rarely- Mandy insisted that it remain a rare treat for some reason. She never gave Flora any warning, although Flora had years ago offered up her free will on the altar of good times, and every time, it shook Flora to her core. |
