Abstract

My mother always called me a dead weight. A girl who would sleep through her own funeral.

I’d fall asleep in the middle of a class, halfway through a forkful of dinner, even standing at a busy crosswalk. My homeroom teacher eventually pulled my mother aside and suggested we see a specialist.

But my mother just sneered. "It's that damn phone of hers," she’d say. "Up all night scrolling."

After that, my phone was confiscated. She took the lock off my bedroom door so I could never hide. Every time she caught my eyelids drooping, her palm met my cheek.
