May 2012

I was crawling down a hallway in my grandmother's house, towards a door with glass panes and a faceted glass doorknob. I tried to reach the doorknob, but it was too far away...

I started to cry.

Someone showed up on the other side of the door, and came through it to pick me up.

I actually told my mom about this, and she confirmed it.

We also thought the reason I remembered it was because it was traumatic.
