Elena's Dream

In Elena's dream, at the far end of a long corridor, she is again in the hospital room, but it's all backwards. Now, her mother sits in the  chair, worried, while Elena lays on the bed, tubes in both arms. "No, this is all wrong", she tries to say, yet she cannot speak or move. But, feeling calm nonetheless, her paralysis isn't concerning-- Elena knows the scene from before. Different this time, she isn't afraid of the empty silence. In her dream, Elena trades places with her dying mom, a few imagined moments before the night nurses come.
