Another Mugging.

 

Mommy where’s daddy I can’t see him!

Come on mommy, tell daddy to stop acting stupid

I’m poking his arm with my pen

But he still wont move it

Mommy

Why are there tears in your eyes?

Wait mommy?

Why is daddy not comforting you when he can see you’re crying?

Mommy why is daddys shirt so messy?

Looks he was eating a burger and spilt ketchup all over his shirt and tie.

Mommy why’s everyone whispering so I cant hear what they saying?

Mommy I just want to see daddy get out my way!

What do you mean somebody hurt daddy?

Who?

If it somebody he didn’t know, he’d have no reason to be mad would he?

If he wasn’t mad why did he hurt daddy?

For money?

But daddy was a nice man, if he just asked daddy would have given him plenty.

No! I don’t believe you, this is just a mean joke!

Daddy get up and tell mommy this is just hoax!

Mommy but why somebody take daddys life away from me and you?

Without daddy…

Mommy what are going to do?

There was a lot of emotional power behind this. I think you took on this perspective really well here.

Thanks X, I enjoyed writing this one, so I tried to put as much into it as possible.
