My breath comes in gasps,

I'm reaching out
for Tammie

but she's not here.

So the fake Tammie

steps forward

to intervene.

says something
to make her retreat

back to the door.

She smells different too.

Not of vomit
or stomach acid.

A musky, wooden smell.

A warm
comforting scent.

I wonder if it's really a bad thing

if I believe in this lie

that they're putting in
so much effort

to confuse me.
