Without Me
Kit sat up abruptly in her bed. The black bird statue stared blankly back at her in the dim glow of her room. Her grandparents were still out, on her Grandpa's spur of the moment date. Kit didn't mind being left alone, not if it patched up things with her favorite relatives. But, damn if it wasn't boring being by herself. Maybe she'd pop out, take in a movie.
Kit scribbled out a note and made her way to the closest theater. Fourteen dollars and three hours later she headed back to her grandparents house. The house was pretty dark when she got home, so she slipped quietly through the back door. She didn't want to wake them up if they were sleeping. Kit was surprised to hear them talking quietly in her grandfather's study.
"Have I mentioned how lucky I am to have you?" Sam was saying.
"No, but I know it anyway," Effie kissed him on the cheek.
Kit wondered what it might be like to be that loved.
