Emma's Little story

I have been noticing that some things are different since the last months, the apartment feels strange, mommy and daddy have changed. I didn’t know at first what was happening in my home, but now I can see, is that thing. Indeed, that scary thing is absorbing and controlling my mommy.

That thing is absorbing more and more of my mommy, each day, each night. I am afraid that if this continues, none of my mommy left.

The thing had made mommy and daddy change my room, they had taken away many of my toys, I WANT MY TOYS! My dolls had lost their homes, also Mr Bear is living now in the top of the closet. He seems so lonely, I am worried he feels cold, or gets attacked by those horrible spiders. And it is not only that, half of my room now has been taken by that thing, MY ROOM! Now I have just a tiny part, I don’t want it, I want all my room for myself, I hate that thing, I really hate it, I HATE IT!

Mommy and Daddy had been bringing new things to the other half of my room, of course is that Thing faults, it had been growing more and more, and makes mommy to acts different, to not taking care of me anymore, when I tried to pick some of the new stuff that mommy and daddy bring here I could see that in there, the thing, black and sticky, it is gross.

Today I feel that thing have seized all my home, everything is dark, everything is gross and sticky, mommy have left me alone here, I’m scare, the thing is all over the place, I don’t want it, it is trying to get close to me, I DON'T WANT IT! I am trying to get rid of it but at last it is impossible …

When mommy finally came back, she felt weak, I don’t know how to describe it but I could notice she was through a lot, in fact daddy came with her too, but something seemed off, I didn’t noticed at first but they weren’t just the two of them, mommy was carrying something in her arms, I didn’t realized that home was now clear, that thing wasn’t anymore here, I had a huge shock when I saw that all that thing was now concentrated in mommy’s arms.

Now I seem to understand, it was difficult though. At first I was much, much scare, I thought mommy was in danger, she was always alone with that thing, I thought it was controlling her, daddy didn’t seemed to help, he was also controlled by the thing, he always tried to make me to stop worrying about what was happening, HOW COULD I?.

This thing cries and screams very loud, despite being so small and it has huge brown eyes, which stare at me. What if the thing makes my parents forget about me? I still do not trust the intentions of that strange thing and I will be alert. Therefore mommy has wanted me to be close to the thing and she has told me that it is part of our family.

Maybe mommy is right, that thing looks like me, it smiles at me and after all seems to like Mr Bear. For his part daddy tells me that selfishness should not exist in a family, because they love us both and nothing can change that. Perhaps my dolls and Mr Bear do not get so upset if their houses change places and they have a new company.
