I sat in my bed, as I watched a short film. I just got done babysitting and needed sleep. I thought about Lucid Dreaming. That would be so much fun! Then maybe I could at least feel better a little. I stared down. And then I started to cry. I don't know why. Nothing happened. I was just sitting there. I cried for a long time before I heard a voice behind me.

New friend what are you crying for..?

I looked up confused. Turning, I saw a bunny puppet that I made just a day ago. I named them Moko. I shrugged.

Well, New Friend! It's okay! Just calm down, and we can go to sleep soon! That sounds fun!

I looked at my tear-stained pillow. It hurt as I remembered a few hours ago. Running up and down the dark basement stairs because my mom wanted me to bring her a laundry basket. My legs hurt and my lungs burned due to my asthma. But I was so scared I couldn't do anything but say that I was okay.

Friend! Don't you remember why you made me?

I couldn't. My head stung and I could hear my heartbeat as I laid my head down.

You made me so you can be brave! So your mean so-called "spirit friends" Won't come near you! And so you can remind yourself it's okay! It's okay to be scared, and even remembering bad things, can make you wanna cry, but it'll be okay, cause I'm here!!

I looked at Moko again as I remembered a few hours ago, as I put them on my hand, as they were a puppetish bunny, and I held my niece in my lap as I sang the wheels on the bus. Seeing a baby smile and giggle like that made me wonder, who would want to hurt a child? And then I remembered why I was crying! Her father. Her asshole of a father, who can't even bother to show up to watch them. I looked at Moko.

Plus, even if you hate your brother, because of the nasty things he did, your revenge is that his kids like you more! They run to you and smile when they see you, so I think that's a bigger heartbreak to him than any revenge you have, silly friend! Goodnight now!
