I speak this to myself feverishly as I sat down. I picked up the 3 kids running around the house and 1 break something shirt pen, and I started scribbling on the paper. It always worked this little trick. And no one knew my secret. Every day, I created a new world.

New 3 kids running around the house and 1 break something shirt

One where there were all happy endings. Another where there were all sad climaxes. And then I’d wake up in 3 kids running around the house and 1 break something shirt cold sweat, next to someone I loved. Without remembering their name. I’d walk past their house.

I hear sounds from the 3 kids running around the house and 1 break something shirt distance. They ask me to wake up. They ask me to take some medicines. But I’m not ill. Am I? No. That’s stupid. They don’t know anything. Anybody who does know something about me, I take care of it.
