New Beginnings

Warm

I stare at the door for a few seconds trying to decide if I was bat-shit-crazy or still morning though it has been a little over a year since their deaths. My husband looks at me for an answer and I peer into his frightened eyes, the room is dead silent. Jeff's mouth opens slightly and is shut again when knocking is heard from the dasement door.

Knock

Knock

Knock

I feel my heart drop as I now stare at the door. Andy comes over and hugs my leg, watching the door as well. I pet his head and gently peel him off to approach the door, I grip the doorknob and brace myself.

"You know it's cold down here, right?!" I hear my mom yell.

I suddenly become overwhelmed and fling the door open, peering down the stairs with tears streaming from my eyes. There I see my father and mother as clear as day, as if they were still alive. My mom stands at the bottom of the steps with her arms folded across her chest and standing tall, she smiles up at me. My dad stands behind her and smirks up at me and rests an arm on her head to which she glares at him. I walk down the stairs and stop a few steps away.

"H-how... I-I" I can't find words to speaks the thoughts running through my head at lightning speed.

My mom smiles sweetly and walks towards me, I hear and see the old steps bend slightly under her like she has weight. She reaches up and gently touches my face, her hand... it's,

Warm.
