"The Memory of You"

Sitting cross-legged on my bed, I stare at the empty cardboard boxes hungry to be filled with worldly possessions. A week has passed since Mom dumped them in my room. This morning at breakfast, she threatened to leave everything behind if I didn’t finish packing before the movers arrived. Mom never bluffs. I don’t care if all my belongings don’t make it to the new apartment, but I can’t abandon my precious books.

So much for my failed boycott of leaving my childhood home.
