I was at this bar with my friends. One of them (Laura) had been crying and she mentioned that we’d all be heading back to her house shortly. At some point, I ended up losing everyone, so I started making that journey back to Laura’s house. It started to piss it down with rain. I noticed that I was now wearing my (rather unflattering) fluffy pyjamas and no shoes. I tried to call someone on my husbands iPad, but I ended up accidentally calling his boss. I quickly hung up. Once I got back to Laura’s house. I realised that no one had come back yet. I sat for awhile in my sopping wet pjs, trying to dry off. My friend, kylie, was the first to get back. She hadn’t been to Laura’s house before, so I showed her around. I remember grabbing all these papermache ornaments laura had made. Some were really obscure. She’d even made a wood burner out of papermache. “That’s pretty impressive!” My friend said. I then started bending this spoon back and forth like magic. “Not as impressive as this!” I said. My friend was in awe, until I admitted that it was actually really flimsy and easy to bend anyway. After the rain had stopped, I left the house and bumped into Kylie’s stepdad. He seemed really pissed off because he was taking some important conference call. I apologised and walked on. Next scene; I had taken the kids to the river with my husband. At one stage, we were having a race to see who could reach the bridge and back first. Alex ran on but the rest of us cheated and hid in a bush until he ran all the way back. “We got there before you!” We lied. His face dropped and he looked royally pissed off. To cheer him up, we said he could go down to the river but as we climbed down the rocks, we noticed they were dangerously slippery. I told the boys it wasn’t safe, but Alex wouldn’t listen. He kept climbing up the slippery rocks. I looked over to him, my heart pounding in my chest. He looked me straight in the eyes and then pushed himself backwards off the highest rock and fell down, down, down the slippery pile of rocks. He, somehow, didn’t manage to hurt himself but I almost had a heart attack. I yelled at him for being so reckless.
