Tw: gonna talk about some trauma, torture, touch starvation, attention starvation, generally some pretty fucked up shit. I read a whump post about touch starvation and it made me think about a core memory from my childhood.

———————————————————

How touch starved do you have to be?

The middle of summer. Maybe 8 years old, at the neighborhood pool. Two older girls playing, a mother sitting on a beach chair in sunglasses, reading a magazine.

How.

Strong hands on your arms, burning as they twist against the skin of your wrists. A hand gripping your hair. Splash.

Touch.

Water engulfs you again. The harsh chlorine burns your eyes along with the salt of tears you couldn’t tell you were shedding. Kicking. Thrashing. You can’t breathe.

Starved.

How long has it been? One minute? Two? Three? You go limp. Muscles aching. Vision going dark. The arms holding you down pull you up and your head breaches the surface. A loud, harsh gasp. Coughing. Sputtering. Gasping for air. And over the pounding in your ears, the giggling of two young girls. Just playing.

Do.

Just enough time for your vision to clear, strength to return. Not long enough to catch your breath. Again. Dunked under the surface. Lungs ache. Head pounding.

You.

Again. Again. Again. How long of this? 10 minutes? 30 minutes? An hour? Maybe 2? No one else is here. No one else cares. No one is coming to help you.

Have.

Again. You breach the surface, gasp and sputter. “Hey, what are you doing?” Unbothered. Un rushed. The mother calls from her beach chair. Not standing, not putting down her magazine. “Stop that.” The older girls pause, still gripping your arms in a strong vice.

To.

“We’re just playing!” One calls. “Yeah! We’re not hurting them.” Says the other to their mother. You’re trembling. Still gasping, still panting. The mother looks at you expectantly. What did she expect you to say?

Be.

A long pause. You catch your breath. Feel the warmth and pressure of the hands wrapped firmly around your wrists. You had been bothering them earlier. Begging them to play with you. Begging them to include you in their fun. The pool was empty. None of your friends had answered their doors. You were alone. You had been alone. It was a long, lonely, summer.

“…..

Yeah.

It’s okay.

We’re just playing.”

You say.

You don’t want to be left alone. To be ignored anymore. This was better, you told yourself.

The mother looks back down at her magazine.

The girls smile.

Your hair is grabbed.

The light blue water of the neighborhood pool swallows you whole.

hellooooo how are you? have you been eating and drinking plenty of waters?? has thou been watering thineself???

Hellooooooooo!!! Omg so good to hear from you!!! I hope you are doing well too. I’ve been extremely busy lately trying to find work and traveling a lot. Haven’t had much time for writing at all I’m really sad about it 😭 doesn’t feel like my brain wants to be productive or focused most of the day so getting stuff done is a difficult task. But been working on a lot of tech stuff recently has been my hyper focus!! How have you been?
