Family support and love and encouragement is all part of our health and wellness. However, each little bird must eventually leave the nest. Support and encouragement can take on many forms. Sometimes when we are younger it's a supporting hold while we are carried from place to place. A simple thing like changing a diaper or picking out an appropriate outfit. Later on our developement takes on steeper gradients. Our minds develope at an astounding rate and we take on our own personality traits. Freinds take the place of family members and finally we venture out on our own. At least that's what you'd think.
There are traits that can be attributed to genitics, however more often than not traits can be attributed towards emulation. We often see things in family members that seem steeped in tradition.
Welcome to The Test. This episode is entitled Truth Serum.

"I love you."

"There's nothing in this world that I'd rather do than to be with you."
Gravity shifted a small bit of perspiration from the pores of a wrinkled brow.
"Semi delusional is what hallucengens leave most folks. The worst that I've ever been is to just stare at the lights.
This family is fallin apart at the seams if you don't understand the importance of it."
The whole thought sunk into Amulet's thoughts. Steeped like sun tea each word swirled and flowed through his thoughts.
"I want to go every where you go"; said a voice now detached slightly as the ever increasing visual distortion that the reflection caused.
Amulet eye's moistened as the discomfort of a headache flashed across the plane that streched between the left temple and the right temple.
Like a plane in the desert; sparce and devoid with the exception of a few well placed words from the Family.
"I can't believe you won't be a thousand times happy!"; chortled the voice as a flash of lavender mixed with a tinge of lightening lit the entire expanse about the time it takes for a shutter to open and close.
"What's the matter?"
"I don't have any idea how long I took care of you.
When you were younger I used to change things for you. Remember these?" A Green snake slithered across the sky each undulation made the snake fatter and larger. "I remember that you had one when you a child. Hold out your hand."
Amultet winced as the desert lightening flashed against the sand.
Amulet was moving away from the voice now.
"Don't leave me! I know that you want things don't you?"
"Money. My Money. That's what the whole family wants. How can I tell you that my fortune my wealth is quite abundent.
"I can't believe that you don't understand my situation.
How old am I?"
The voice echoed inside Amulet's eardrum.
Each word produced a feeling.
"You don't know everything about yourself. You have'nt got the whole story yet!" A shriek of laughter followed by another string of words followed.
"What's the problem?"
Amulet continued to move away from the voice. A haze of fatigue overtook like a wave of ocean water.
The sharp caw of a Raven bolted Amulet's eye's upward.
The great expanse of wings darkened overhead.

The sky filled with the shadows of wings.Gracefully each bird dove toward the other like pairs of planes engaged in a dog fight.
Gracefully, effortlessly, riding the currents.
"I need things."
There was a narrowing of the eyes and a wrinkling of the brow. "There are things that come to my mind. At my age parts need changing. You don't realize everything about yourself.
How far from the tree do you reckon you fell?"
"Ever notice how much you favor your sister?
Wild as a banshee, she is.
Ever wonder why both of them went plum mad?"
Amulet closed his eye's slowly.
Yes it was true both sisters had wound up in a mental institution.
A funny Farm.
"I've got lots of money. I don't have alot of time to explain things to you though, I need my rest.
What's the matter with you?"
The shadowed figure took the green snake and placed it in an aquarium." This is just like the one you had when you were a child. Remember?
I remember every detail of your child hood.
You always liked snakes."
Amulet looked at the smooth green snake as it flicked it's forked tounge to smell the air. Its round brown eye's looked alert and alive!
"You used to feed it ants. Remember?"
Amulet closed his eye's and the room swirled.
The snake expanded and swelled.
"It's much bigger now. Much bigger".
The snake slid out of the 1000 gallon tank and snapped a ground squirrel into its huge mouth.
"Yeah. This ones much larger now.
Know what I mean?"
