Mary awoke with a start. She played with her long flowing hair in the mirror. She heard Mike and Sully in the kitchen, probably making breakfast.
"Boo! You up? Breakfast is ready!"
"Uncle Sully... I told you not to call me that, I'm not a kid anymore!"
"But you'll always be my little Boo..."
Mary sighed as she walked out the door. She loved her uncles dearly, truly she did... but it was just so boring. She was shut up inside all day every day to avoid the CDA (Child Detection Agency)... If they knew she was here... they would be in serious trouble... It frustrated her to no end. Mary was stuck in between a rock and a hard place. She wanted something more but she just couldn't explain it. The smell of blueberry pancakes filled the kitchen. "Such a lovely smell..." she thought.
"Mornin Mary!" exclaimed Mike.
"Morning Uncle Mike..."
"What's wrong? Inquired Sully.
"Just tired... that's all..." she replied, but it was a lie. In truth, she was depressed. Unhappy with her life.
Mike then laid breakfast on the table and they all ate together. Blueberry pancakes were her favorite but she just didn't have much of an appetite that morning. Something was going to happen today. She couldn't explain it, but she just had this feeling.
