The Rain Hasn't Passed... The Storm's Just Starting [8/8]
I’m always so sleepy, Mikey. I fall asleep when it’s sunny outside and wake up when the sun is almost out again. I don’t have a lot of time to think of you because I only have time go to the bathroom now. It takes me a long time to get to the bathroom because my legs shake when I stand up so I have to crawl on the floor. The floor is really sticky. My pants stick to the floor and I have to pull on them to get them up. When I get back under the counter I’m sleepy again, and I go back to sleep.
I really wanna find you. Daddy doesn’t care about me anymore, so he won’t care if we’re together again. I don’t think I tried hard enough to find you before. Maybe I’ll walk far this time, and I’ll find someone to help me find you. I know that if I find you, I’ll be okay.
I woke up when it was dark, and I wanted to go back to sleep. But I didn’t because I have to find you soon. It took me a long time to stand and try the walk. When I finally could the sun was coming out.
I can do this, Mikey. I’m gonna find you, and we’ll be happy again. You and Frank can take care of me. Like a real family. I wonder if you look the same. I hope you remember me. I’m scared that you don’t want to see me anymore, but you promised me. We’ll be together forever.
I walked a really long time, but I had to stop a lot because my tummy started hurting. I saw lights when I was walking, and I knew that someone had to be around the lights. My legs didn’t hurt anymore because I was so close to seeing you. Maybe we’ll be back in our house before it gets dark again.
When I got closer my tummy hurt more than it ever had before. I couldn’t run anymore, and my legs stopped working. Even when I fell down on the ground my tummy kept hurting really bad, and I started to cry. I started to get sleepy again, but I didn’t want to sleep. I couldn’t do anything though and I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I think I’m in a car. It’s moving. I don’t know where I am, and it’s still nighttime.
“Mikey?”
A lady’s talking to me. She looks scared. She’s telling me that we’re going to see a doctor because I’m sick and was asleep for a really long time. I’m shaking my head and saying your name over and over. I have to find you. We have to be together forever.
“I’ll help you find him, sweetie,. I promise.”
She’s taking me to see you! You’ll make me better again and take care of me, and you won’t ever leave me. We’re gonna be so happy.
I’m so sleepy… I still don’t wanna sleep, but I know that when I wake up again I’ll be in my bed. You’ll be sitting by my bed and then you’ll watch me take my bubble bath.
It’s raining now, but I’m not scared of it anymore. I’m happy because I’m gonna see you again soon.
I missed you, Mikey. I love you.
So there it is :]
Didn't turn out exactly how I planned, but he didn't by any means have a shameful death.
