Chapter 2: Aim

Whoosh!

Kid narrowly dodged a spoonful of applesauce.

"She threw food at me again!"

"Forgive her Kid. Morta's not quite as advanced as you were at two."

What lies. Kid scoffed and went back to his cereal. She's always reading big books when she thinks I'm not looking.

Morta giggled and tapped her spoon on Kid's bowl. "Fwood, fwood!"

Kid glared at her and she returned the hostility.

He sighed as the nurse washed the dishes. Kid spooned some of his cereal up and offered it to the toddler.

"Hmmm..." Morta eyed the spoon suspiciously.

"Eat it."

Morta clamped onto the spoon, swallowed the treat, and gave him a taste of her soul. Though he was the one who was being shocked, Morta burst into tears as if Kid had hurt her.

"Kid, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything! She just shocked me!"

"Kid, she can barely talk! Little boys shouldn't lie!"

"But I'm not lying!"

"KID."

"Yes'm."

Morta sniffled in the nurse's arms all the while smirking over her caretaker's shoulder at Kid.

He focused hard on his cereal.

Was he supposed to wage war on his two year old sister?
