it seems as though I\'ve been alone, forever
laying here on her bed, forgotten
water gone, long gone
stomach empty - I can\'t remember the last time I had food.
she should be thankful:
a scary man came to put stuff through
that hole in our door, but don\'t worry
I scared him off.
and the squirrels too.
house guarded, thanks to me,
nothing but myself
she just can\'t leave like that and...
wait.
what\'s that.
the door
is opening?
a scent.
familiar...
fills my nose.
mom?
mom!
my body wiggles as I say
\"HI wherehaveyoubeen everything\'sgreataroundhere youwouldnotbelievewhatI\'vebeenthrough.\"
she shows me her teeth and says
\"I\'ve only been gone 15 minutes.\"
yeah whatever -
15 minutes is practically forever, right?
