Eerie Indiana Drabble: Tea Time

[froodle]

Mary C. Carter arranged three slices of lemon neatly alongside the repeating rose pattern of a bone china saucer that was so thin as to be very slightly translucent. In the chair opposite her, the faintly-glowing spectre of her aunt nodded in approval.

"Auntie, can you even drink this?" Marisea asked.

Mary B. Carter flickered, her face changing from a teenage girl with long brown hair to a woman in her seventies wearing a white nightgown overlaid with a faded shawl, then back again.

"No," she allowed, her voice see-sawing between adolescence and old age. "But I like the ritual."
