Celwriter: almost finished. You may think that the evil voice took over, sad to say, he didn't. I need practice disappointing myself and I have a story where I have to kill ten people after giving them siblings, parents, fiancés, you name it. You'll see later why I had to do this.

Chapter 7

"So, it was all a lie? A phony identity so that you could..." Mort stepped back from Cel. "All I wanted was a daughter and I thought I had that, but it was all a lie."

"It doesn't have to be!" Cel told him, removing the adoption papers from her back pocket. She offered these to Mort with a pen.

Mort stepped back in confusion. He loved Cel. She had saved his life. He needed her. But she had lied to him.

"See," said that horrid scratchy voice. Mrs. Johnson came closer to Cel. "No one ever wanted you."

"I do," Mort said, taking the papers. Cel turned around and Mort used her back to sign them.

Mrs. Johnson stepped back in horror.

"No, that can't happen," she struggled. "It...you...You have to have a caregiver signature and I won't sign."
