The Key

"I have lost everything and yet could not be allowed to rest in peace by Abigail" it walked up to me this time, calmer.

"Please help me open it, it is closed I am to my home" it's word touched me.

I can't believe I am being sad for a toy monkey.

I tried standing up in order to get to where the box was.

I managed to get there and now was faced with the pulling out part, come to think I can't open it; my hands are handcuffed.

"Locked?" I gave a look of shock on seeing an olden days padlock on it.

"It's locked" I gave a look of disappointment.

"So what do we do" it's face became sad, though it wanted to cry but it's a toy so it can't.

"I have no idea". The box looks so old I wonder how long it has been around and who brought it to my room.

My number one guess is mum, so she might be with the key.

Now the big questions are, if she has the key would she give me?

And what is inside this box that is so important.

We walked down the hallway to the hospital canteen.

I guess there was no hiding anymore.

I saw family members of people sleeping so uncomfortably just to be around anytime.

I then realized family is the biggest thing that exists, we got to the canteen and she ordered for two sandwiches with bottle water. I tried to look into her to see what's she hiding but could not point out one thing.

"Let's eat it here" She pointed to a vacant table.

"No ma, I would love to go back" I have stayed too long already from Dad.

"Alright, if you insist" she looked sad, as though a thought came to her mind.

I wanted to walk fast, but I didn't want her to see the tension already growing in me.

Imagine walking so fast in your mind but slowly in reality.

We finally got back to the entrance of my dad's room and first thing I went to check was to see if my dad is still there.

Lucky for me, he was in the room sleeping sound asleep.

I can't imagine anything happening to him

Mrs shalom approached where I was.

"I have called an inspector friend I want to file a Missing person report for your mum, hopefully we should get good reply soon" she smiled at me.

I don't even want to believe she is a friend but foe.

I can't deny that her voice is so Similar to that of Rakas' boss, but she still pays for my dad treatment and wants to find my mom.

What is she hiding.

"Thank you ma" I had no words more to say.

"Explain to me what is going on!" I screamed at Ash trying to pour all my aggression on it.

"You are making noise" it spoke rudely.

I can't believe I am in an argument with a toy monkey.

"How do you expect me not to shout, few moments ago we bought you at a toy store now you are alive and talking" I was so furious at how confusing this reality was.

It walked round and turned back to look at me.

"I am in between death and life, found in space so I have to find my home" it looked away from me.

I barely understood what it meant, but I needed answers not riddles.

"We need that key, so that you can understand" it spoke as though it read my mind.

"I doubt you noticed, but am handcuffed, locked and hungry" so there is no way I can help.

I stated the obvious, how does it expect me to help.

"Get close to Abigail" Those words shattered the windows of my heart.

Get Close to my Mom!!!!

How!!

That's impossible.

There is no Way.

"I can't!" I spoke back.

"Well that box has the answer you seek" it walked away and sat on the floor.

"Of all things to do why that?" I spoke at it, but it gave no reply.

"So you are now keeping quiet" I shouted at it, but it didn't reply also.

What's going on?

I moved to where it was and couldn't understand why it became so lifeless.

It felt as though it is just a toy.

" If you are doing this on purpose, it is not funny" I pushed it with my leg.

It just fell off, Now everywhere became quite. What just happened.

Is it gone?
