My aunt just stood there, and in that second it was as though the world and the future collapsed down into a single point, and I understood that thisthe kitchen, the spotless cream linoleum floors, the glaring lights, and the vivid green mass of Jell-O on the counterwas all that was left now that my mother was gone.Suddenly I couldnt stay there. I couldnt stand the sight of my aunts kitchen, which I now understood would be my kitchen. I couldnt stand the Jell-O. My mother hated Jell-O. An itchy feeling began to work its way through my body, as though a thousand mosquitoes were circulating through my blood, biting me from the inside, making me want to scream, jump, squirm.I ran.
