Today's #flashfiction #FathersOblivion

“A real lady doesn't raise her voice.”
Real Housewives of New Jersey* #quote


A foul storm caused Internet troubles and prevented me from posting a story yesterday, but anyway onto todays!


Father's Oblivion

        Peek-a-boo could be considered a sadistic game that plays with the mind of the baby. Though scientists cannot talk to babies(yet, science tends to find ways to do the strangest things) it is theorized that they think when something is no long seen it is truly gone.
So when a father takes his hands over his face to play “Peek-a-boo!” to little Jimmy his father is gone forever.
         The child smiles and giggles when the man reveals himself because he relieved that his father is not gone forever. Again and again babies smile and giggle because their parents come back from oblivion. The familiar, kind faces fading in and out of existence being a mental trip for the young souls like baby Jimmy.
         Let us not get into the terror for little Jimmy that is “goochy-goochy-goo”.
