the drink

His drink was in a glass on the dining room table.  She saw it and waited until he left the room, hopefully leaving the glass.  He left the room and his glass....

she ran to the kitchen and opened the cabinet under the sink.  She grabbed a bottle of something liquid and ran back to the dining room.   She poured the liquid into his glass.  Just like on TV,  her dad would fall over dead and he will be taken away...forever.  

He did not come back into the room.  He did not drink the mixture she prepared.

So she waited.....another day?  His drink was on the top of the TV by an ashtray, with a lit cigarette going...he went into the bathroom.   

She ran to the kitchen, grabbed the liquid and poured more into his drink.  Then she went outside, to wait.  Waiting for the people to come and take him away, just like on TV.  But, he did not die, he was not taken away.   She failed.  She could not get rid of the monster.
