A neighbor nearby has her own troubles and woes doctors say shes paranoid delusional and one even remarked a bit slow in his notes the voices tell her that shes ugly they tell her shes no good and tonight there telling her to stop looking out that window you aint got no time for them folks. She closes her windows  and sighs okay. She fumbles with the top to the medicine bottle but tonight it wont open no matter how hard she twist and struggles. Stupid safety locks and she begins to cry till she falls asleep crying  a fire broke out  a woman was in the house paramedics say smoke inhalation and itll be a miracle if she makes it .a pregnant woman runs through the crowd thats my sister and yells stop it jenny come back and stop it.the woman hears in her dream as she stands before a woman known as mother you know you got to stop it jenny says mother and she says okay but her sister hears it then they are looking at one another and jenny says ill stop it for you
