Part two of the monster-catch-up: Renee. Yay! I can't actually remember if I ever wrote Renee before...

Date: 5th January

Character: Renee

Stimulus: Window

As I stare out of the north-facing window in the kitchen, I can't help but think about Bella. Everything reminds me of her—from the desert she used to love, to my own face when I see it in the mirror. I look like her—or rather, she looks like me.

Sometimes, I get confused. Often, it seems like she's the parent, and I'm the naughty kid. I've noticed that.

But I should really have been taking care of her recently; she's been going through this awful time, and she really needs a mom right now.

But I'm not that person. I'm not mature or selfless like she is. I wish I could be.

All I can do is keep staring at her, hoping that she realises that I'm here for her, as her mother, and that I love her, for always.
