When A Child Screams

When a 5 year old child screams a father leaves
When the father leaves the 5 year old child is broken
When the child breaks the mother cries
When the mother cries the vibration of her cry makes the wine glass break
When the wine glass breaks the glass falls to the ground
When the glass falls to the ground the mother walks away
When the mother walks away the child slips in the wine and breaks a bone 
When the child slips in the wine and breaks a bone the mother takes the child to the hospital
When the mother takes the child to the hospital the mother is thought to be a danger so the doctor kicks her out of the room
When the doctor kicks her out of the room the doctor gives the child a cast  
When the doctor gives the child a cast he then asks the child if the mother hurt them
When the child is asked if the mother hurt them the child looks away and screams
When the child looks away and screams the doctor calls CPS and leaves
When the doctor calls CPS and leaves they come to the child
When they come to the child the child tells them nothing
When the child tells them nothing they suspect the mother hurt the child
When they suspect the mother hurt the child they take the child away
When they take the child away the mother screams 
When the mother screams she is thought to never see the child again
When next she sees the child it’s 14 years later and the child appears in the doorway of her mental hospital room
When she sees the child in the doorway of her mental hospital room she sees the child in scrubs just like her and the child is still visibly broken
When the child is still visibly broken the mother cries 
When the mother cries the child cries
When the child cries the patient next door comes over
When the patient next door comes over the mother cries
When the mother cries the child looks at the patient 
When the child looks at the patient the child sees their father
When the child sees their father the child screams
When a 19 year old child screams a father leaves
