Escape

     Her mind shut down they said] . Somewhere along the way she gave in to the demon's  demands.She was always kind to me as I remember, and to see her like that so alone and someplace only she could visit, was beyond sad. I tried a few times to reach her, sitting beside her whispering things I remembered from my youth. I hoped maybe, just maybe she would give me a little sign that she heard me, but she never did. Where did she go? Is she alone?, Can she see me? Does she want to come back or is she happy where she is? I think all of us find an escape at times, but they are conscious escapes, was hers? I wonder if she asked God to shut things off, that she had enough of the curveballs being thrown at her? Were her prayers answered? I make sure she is cared for, comfortable and my visits are spent whispering to her, so I don't wake the demons she escaped from.
