Tiny (2)

I am sitting in my room quietly playing with my toys when Daddy comes in. He has this little girl with him and she smiles at me. I cock my head to the side and stare at her. Was she a new pet? Daddy explains that the girl is my new sister and that she's gonna stay with us from now on. The girl comes up to me and says her name is Sydney. I smile shyly and write my name down Tiny. She asks me to play for a while and I nod. I have a few army toys and hurry to pull them out. We set them up and began to play with them having them shoot one another and go over to each other's "houses" to have a party.

I soon get hungry and grab some cereal in a box I had in my room Agatha Krispies. I give her some and we eat and play some more. She tells me about how her real family treated her and I feel bad. I wish I could tell her about how my real daddy treated me and mama. My 'new' daddy (cutter) treats me better. He never hits me or mama or Rufus.

We continue playing 'Army guys' and then Sydney suggests we play hide and seek. it's a pretty fun game to play. Sydney is a better hider than I am. She can hide in these spaces I can't get to. Me? I'm not that good of a hider but Sydney promised she'd show me how to hide real good next time we played. We hear some steps coming to my room and Sydney hides. Otis comes in and wants to know what the fuck I'm up to. I just sit and shrug at him and continue to fiddle with my army guys until he gives up and leaves. I motion for Sydney to come out. I don't think Otis would let me have Sydney to play with if he found her in here.

He would take her away and show her to Mama or put her in his room and not let anyone play with her. He's real selfish sometimes. After a while we get bored playing and I turn on the tv in my room. It is the end of an old cartoon from the 80's we caught the tail end of. I forget what the cartoon was about but it seemed familiar. We play for a little while more before Daddy comes up to get her. He says she has to get cleaned up to go and meet other members of our family.

I hope she gets to stay forever and ever.
