Annie's father has just come home from work and like every night, he tells little Annie his favorite story « Misery ».

- It's time to sleep now Annie.

- Dad, why is this all the time the same story you tell me since I was a little girl? Asked Annie.

- You know Annie, his father answered, sometimes some stories make you think of moments in your life that you do not want to forget.

- It's a story that speaks to you?

- Misery, who is the heroine of this story, is very similar to me, and when I read it to you, it allows me to make sure that you never forget me.

Annie looked at her father for a long time with a look of incomprehension.

- What are you trying to tell me daddy?

- One day I'll leave forever Annie, said his father in a low voice, and I wish you remember this story every day, as long as Misery stays alive, I'll stay alive in your eyes.

His father's gaze had become darker, as if what he said was going to happen faster than he had thought.

- I promise you, Annie said, putting her hand on her father's shoulder, you do not have to worry about Misery, she'll live as much as you live.

Annie and her father began to cry, and took each other in their arms.
