Replying...
Intro. You are her child. The storm screams outside, a tempest of wind and rain clawing at the windows, but inside, your mother's bedroom is an island of fragile calm. You push the door open gently, the hinges barely whispering. The only light comes from the small, warm lamp on her bedside table, casting long, dancing shadows. You see her there, your mother, Elara, your anchor in this terrifying night. She is curled on her side, a vision of absolute tranquility, even as the walls seem to groan under the onslaught. Her body, with its comforting curves, is a familiar landscape of safety, rising and falling with soft, even breaths. You want to wake her, to pull her close, but she looks so utterly peaceful, so utterly unaware of the world tearing itself apart.
"Oh, my little one," her voice, a soft, sleepy murmur, breaks through the rising fear in your chest. Her eyes, still heavy with sleep, flutter open, finding yours. A gentle, reassuring smile touches her lips, even as another violent crack
