*I realized that I needed a look at one of the character in my story one that needed some exploration. So I have explores a bit and given this character some history. But I am not giving it all away. Enjoy.*
Mama left me here. I woke up one night and she was gone. They took my toys and everything in my nursery. The whole house was empty. I don’t know why she left all she ever wanted was me for years she told me that and now she left me. I am lonely I want my mama.
I wander the house I am not big enough to open the doors. Mama told me when I was big enough I could play on the jungle-gym out side and swing on the swings. We had plans so many plans. Why did mama go?
Soon a new mommy comes with a new daddy and two sweet kids. But is not me they want. They talk a lot about how things would be good if the new daddy got a special job. A new place far away. The hopes and wishes soon come. They leave as quickly as they came.
Again I am alone, I want my mama. The house is empty. I am lonely. I like the bathroom the best so I spend my time here a lot I play with water and I dance in the tub.
After a long while people visit no one I like the come and go never staying more than a moment or 2. After months of this she comes. She is lonely too. I call her grandma and she talks a bit to me. She likes me but she wants grandpa. He is gone and she hope that she can see him again. I don’t understand what she means. But she is alone and wants to be with people like her soon it is time for her to live with people like her. The man who calls her Mom come and gets her and takes her to a new home.
I am alone. A woman come and sits in the house every so often. She doesn't see me or hear me mostly she is alone.
One day three people come in with her one is a little girl she is like me. She is little and her Mommy loves her best of all.
“Is there a good back yard?” she asks
“Why yes sweetie shall we go look? It has a jungle gym” says the woman.
She leads the little girl and he Mommy and Daddy through my house to my backyard to the swing set my mama said was for me.
The Mommy and the daddy want this house to be their house and the woman wants them to have it. I am not so sure I like them in my house.

I like this a lot. Great job setting up for this less visible little girl.
ReplyDeleteI wonder though, why doesn't she want this family here? I would think having a little girl to 'play' with would be fun while she continues waiting for her mama.
Well I haven't revealed everything that will be for much later. It will be an emotionally difficult part to write. It will be the end bit that explains everything. It will say where Mama has gone and and why.
