I've been alone,
alone for a long time,
in this house.
I don't know how long it's been
since my mom left me here,
but I'm waiting,
don't you see?
And I know I might look tattered
and worn
and sick
and cold,
but I'm not.
This is the only dress I have,
but the holes aren't that bad,
and I've gotten use to the cold.
And I guess I might be a little pale
and a little skinny,
but I'm just not that hungry,
and the sun makes me feel lonely.
So I get that you might be worried for me,
but it's okay.
I've been here for a very long time,
and I'm just waiting for my mom.
So until she gets here I'll keep waiting.
What?
No it hasn't been that long,
I mean she would have been back before then.
Wh-
No.
No!
That's not true!
She's going to come back soon!
No!
You're wrong!
I'm just a little thin,
I'm not si-
What do you mean?
Remember?
I remember being sick for a little while
a long time ago,
but then I was all better!
I didn't die!
I didn't!
I'm just waiting!
Go away!
Leave me alone!
My mom's going to be here soon...
