Then I sent her one screenshot.
The hospital call log.
FAMILY NOTIFIED — CONDITION CRITICAL.
She did not respond for twenty-seven minutes.
When she finally did, the message was shorter.

Because it meant they had talked about it.
It meant they had built a version of my hospital stay small enough to ignore.
I typed and deleted three replies.

I almost died.
She did not answer.

Dad: You’re destroying this family.
Dad: Police came to the house.
Dad: Your mother is crying.
