“The darkness is coming. The darkness is coming!”
“It’s okay, Mom. I know.” I held my hands up reassuringly and took a
step toward her as the wind whipped around me. “But it’s not coming
tonight.”
She whirled to face me, her face streaks with tears that dried almost at
once in the cold night air as the wind stung them and splayed her hair
around her.
“The darkness is coming,” she whispered.
“Shh, I know. The darkness is coming.” I took another step toward her,
my heart hammering. There hadn’t been an episode like this in months. I
knew it had been a mistake coming here. I just knew it. How could I have
been stupid enough to bring her to an apartment block with access to the
roof? “Why don’t you come down from there, and we’ll go inside, where
the darkness can’t find us.”
“It will always find us. The darkness is coming.”
The wind picked up and rocked her on the ledge. My heart hammered in
my throat and for one horrible moment I thought it would toss her over the
edge and down to the ground below, but somehow she stayed there.
“Mom, please, just come down from there. It’s not safe.”
“Nowhere is safe. The darkness is coming.”
I threw a glance back over my shoulder at the stupid door onto the roof.
What sort of idiot didn’t keep a door like that locked? What sort of an idiot
was I for not checking? But I never thought she’d find her way up here.
“Please, Mom.” My voice cracked, despite my efforts to keep it calm.
“Please, just come down from there. Come inside. Take my hand, okay?”
I took another step to her and stretched out my hand, palm up, ignoring
the wind rushing around us, ignoring the distant wail of sirens and the
rumble of traffic, and the sounds of the city. Ignoring the terror flooding
through me. Ignoring everything except my mom, and the ledge.
“Come on. Take my hand. I’ll protect you from the darkness.”
“You can’t,” she said, and her hoarse whisper carried above the wind.
“The darkness is coming…for you.”
“I…what?” She’d never said that before. Always just ‘the darkness is
coming.’ Did that mean her delusions were getting worse?
Of course it did. Her delusions got worse every day. It didn’t matter that
they were getting worse. It mattered that I got her off the damned ledge.
The door slammed open with a loud crash, making me jump, and on the
ledge, Mom wobbled, then her eyes widened and she wrapped her arms
around herself.
“The darkness is coming. The darkness is coming. The darkness is
coming.”
