The last thing she heard was the crackling sound of the drops of water falling on the granite floor under her.
Hours later, a woman knocked on the bathroom door calling out to her daughter. She could hear the shower, but thats all she could hear. Her cries became frantic. She sought help from a man. He tried to break open the door. The solid teak structure wouldnt budge. After examining the lock, he asked her for a screwdriver. After a couple of tries, the lock opened.
Pressing down the shiny silver handle, he pushed the door. They were consumed by fog that smelled of roses of some such flower. And then suddenly, the condensed steam on they're bodies seemed to freeze. A rush of cold passed thru' their bodies and they stood there, frozen.
It was like time itself had stopped or that someone pushed the pause button.
A girl was sitting under the shower, on the cold granite floor. Her arms hugging her knees, her head bent over, long curly hair reaching her thighs , covering her face.
They touched her, she didn't move. They shook her and called out her name. She fell, her head making a thud on the wall next to her.
And again time froze. The horrified woman stopped breathing, making you wonder if a large hand reached into her chest and grabbed her heart so tight , it ached. All the while she watched the naked lifeless body of her daughter, while listening to the crackling of the water around her.
On the back of the door, they found a towel, a T-shirt and a pair of jeans. In one of the pockets ther was a pack of cigarettes, a lighter and a rolled up wad of notes. The other had a little white packet.
