THE DARKEST DARK
SAYAH
waves of nauseating grief threaten to drown me.
This doesn’t make any sense.
My mom isn’t supposed to die.
The police say it was an accident; the fire started in the kitchen.
I can see Dan downing a bottle of rum while cooking and forgetting to
turn the stove off. My parents are alcoholics—one of the reasons I am
sober. But something about it doesn’t sit right in my soul. It’s crooked and
wedged into a place that doesn’t fit.
Five minutes have passed, and the phone is still lying in my trembling
hand. The meaning behind the worst call I’ve ever received is slowly
sinking in, and I’m waiting for it to annihilate me.
My mom and stepdad have perished in a fire.
Perished.
What an awful fucking word.
My mom is gone.
Everything slows, becoming boiling hot while a searing, soul-deep pain
swells up inside me.
My bones are mush; they’ve melted. My face, arms, and feet feel like
they’ve turned to liquid as I topple out of bed. In a compulsory gait, I amble
toward the stairs where my knees give out, forcing me to tumble to the top
step as I try to wrap my mind around this. Feverous tears spill from my
eyes, and my breath hitches; overwhelming agony rips me apart from my
marrow outward.
Another witch in our family has died by fire.
It is our way.
A witch’s way.
I have to call Mama’s sisters.
Fuck!
I have to tell my son, Gauge.
This is quite possibly the worst thing imaginable. This is Gauge’s first
experience with death. And it’s hers.
Death.
That is the only word I can cling to.
My thoughts lapse into the aching silence.
My mom is gone, and the world is turning dull and dreary right before
my eyes, leaving an irreversible hole in her wake.
It’s three o’clock in the morning, two in Washington, which is too early
to call my aunts.
What else is there for me to do right now? Go back to sleep?
There’s not a chance in hell that’s happening. My heart is fracturing; the
shards are suffocating me, constricting my airways.
My mom died, and I’m just supposed to go back to bed, shut my eyes,
and pretend like the world isn’t ending. Like it isn’t tilted on its axis or
spinning around the wrong way. That gravity isn’t thrown off, or the air isn’t
broken.
I begin to sob, taking a sharp breath, but it does not quell the hitch I
have in my heart. This suffocating feeling. The strangulating grief weighing
down on me and crushing me alive. She was my best friend.
