Stories we Tell Scene 50

Sally got up and reached into the hall and grabbed the store sack waiting outside. The sheet was thick, white and crinkly with a large zipper down one side. When Sally and Jordan got all the sheets and bedpad of the mattress, the teenager was able to see the extent of her bodily fluids: large yellow/brown stains were already forming in circlets on the mattress (and she could smell it too).

“Here we go honey, help me get this on, it covers it all around and will help with the smell too.”

The two wrestled with the mattress for several minutes before the cover was on the mattress as well as matching covers on the pillows. After that, the two got the sheets and bedding repositioned and the few stuffed animals back in place.
