Unconscience

Writer's picture: ShadowShadow

To my surprise, it was gloomy and raining when I awoke on the first morning at Shoal Bay. Yet, I ambled down the hallway with something of a smile on my face, for Mitchell would have loved this weather, and it wouldn’t have stopped him from enjoying the holiday. I reached the kitchen, where Dad was standing with the small of his back resting against the edge of the bench. He sipped slowly from a steaming mug of coffee.


“Good morning,” I greeted.


Both Dad and I panned our eyes to the windows.


“Good morning,” he echoed.


There was a hint of sarcasm, however, in his tone. I felt anxious, although there was nothing I could do and nothing I could do about it.


“What would you like to do today?” I asked. “We can still do things even though it’s raining.”


“I’d just like to stay here, resting,” I answered, even though it made me feel guilty.
