Graphic Family Film Night

Light In The Dark by emma ivanova




Graphic Family Film Night 


Sitting in the dark around the dining room table.  The family, including "Mother," eighty-six-years-"young,"she would insist, if she spoke such a number, matriarch.  She, silver sprayed salon done hair sparkling in the flicker from the movie on the TV.  A shower scene.  A beautiful blonde, perhaps Sharon Stone, or some such type. Sounded moans flitting through the air as strategic jets hit pseudo acted- sweet spots.  Sitting in the dark around the dining room table.  Mother speaks: "What is she doing?" and her women-folk, young and older, silently sigh, all both grateful for the dark and unspeakably steeped in sorrow for her loss, as we pass the popcorn.
