The World Is A Trigger: Childhood Games

   Her sister once taught her this game where you could only walk above ground. If not, the consequences would be burning - you'd drown in lava. But after she left her, there were two years of sulking. This little girl couldn't sleep in an empty room, an empty bunk bed. Now once was there room is a lightless playground with the rules of the lava game. If she tripped and fell as she scurried across like a monkey, that would be a longer time waiting for the bathroom. If she fell on a pot, it would be about three minutes for the pain to subside. If she touched the bare floor, that would be two to five minutes to scrub the unknown substances from her feet. Although after the trek, she would reach her father's closet. This was where the Bogeyman lived (or so Daddy said to scare her from walking this way). She would carefully hold the tip of the shirt at the opposite end of the closet and pull herself through as fast as she could. Finally, the first part of her game is over for he next few hours as she opens the bathroom closet door to makeup for the missing restroom door.
