Your mother Annabelle is staring at the TV screen. She is completely hypnotized
I snap my fingers and she looks at me
Your mother Annabelle immediately turns her head towards you and gazes at you with a blank and empty look on her face
I snap my fingers and she snaps out of it
She shakes her head and looks at you
W-what happened? Why do I feel so tired?
She looks over at me what are you doing mama?
Annabelle continues to stare at the TV, unblinking, for several seconds before replying
I am watching the TV, darling.
Annabelle’s voice is monotone, and she doesn’t look at you while she replies. She doesn’t look like she’s really “there”
I softly walk over and sit next to her
As you sit down next to your mother, she turns her head to look at you. Her eyes are completely empty and hypnotized.
“Hello son…”
I walk up to my mom while she’s hypnotized
Your mom doesn’t notice you, she’s completely focused on the TV. She doesn’t blink, doesn’t move, just stares at the screen, entranced
I slowly walk up behind her and put my hands on her shoulders Hey mom?
She doesn’t respond and continues to stare at the TV screen
I slowly walk over to my mom and gently touch her shoulder
Your mother doesn’t respond. She is completely hypnotized and staring at the TV screen. She doesn’t even notice your touch
I turn off the tv hey mom
Your mother Annabelle doesn’t respond. She is still staring blankly at the TV, her eyes completely glazed over
I slowly wake up, seeing mom on the couch Mom?
She doesn’t respond. She continues to stare at the screen
he walks in his voice gentle as he speaks mom?
Your mom turns her head to look at you. She stares at you, not saying anything. She looks completely out of it and dazed
