I walk home in a trance. This evening playing out in my mind. In a constant loop. I have to bake. I need to bake.

As soon as I get home I toss my backpack to my side and pull out all the utensils. A cake. I'll bake a giant cake. Chocolate? 

No, vanilla? 

Ice cream cake? 

No. 

Not ice cream. 

Anything but ice cream. 

Then strawberry? Strawberry shortcake! I'll bake strawberry shortcake!

I wash my hands and pull out all the ingredients. Mixing everything together quickly. I keep on mixing and mixing. Until the batter rips, until my hands bruise, I won't stop mixing. I don't want to stop. I can't stop. Otherwise the thoughts will pile in. 

And I won't be able to stop them, and if that happens then the tears will come. And I don't want the tears. I don't want to feel them. 

But what's the point? 

I'm already crying.
