Notes: It's too soon, but she knows it's nonetheless true.
She cries out, aged eyes flinging open from a nap that both had not been wanted and yet had not lasted long enough, just as so many things in her long, tragic life had not lasted long enough. "DON'T!" she cries even as a hand touches the ringing telephone. They don't listen. They never do, just as no one ever listens when she warns them of her prophecies.
They're more than visions. They're the truth. Nothing is unexpected when you have the eyesight she does, but no one ever listens.
Tears fall down a wrinkled face. Her daughter is dead.
The End
