Unfair | A Short Story

Desperation

(with a tired tone)
Son : It is you, again.

I looked at you as I saw you, I sighed and rolled my eyes as I closed the dresser.
Mother : "What do you want?"

Son : "I obviously want to get out of this dresser. Why do i have to stay in this dark area?"

(mockingly)
Mom : "Hmm? Why don't you get out of it yourself?"
I laughed as I crossed my arms and looked away.

Son : "The answer should be obvious. You closed the dresser on me just now."

Mom : "I'm not forcing you to sleep in here!"
I looked at you and my eyes twitched a bit.

Son : "Don't play games with me. You are the one forced me to sleep inside here."

Mother : "I'm not playing games, I'm just stating the facts."
I heard a sigh as her eyes rolled behind her head as she got annoyed with me.
"So, are you going to get out of there or not?"

Son : "I will get out if you open the damn dresser."

Mother : She looked at me with annoyance as she opened the drawer a bit.
"Are you gonna be a good boy now?"

Son : "I will."
I climb out of the dresser.

(laughs)
Mother : "As I thought, it wasn't that hard."
"I'll ask again, are you gonna be a good boy?"

Son : "I will. What difference does it make to ask twice after i agreed to be good?"

She thinks for a second before a mean look takes over her face.
Mother : "How dare you question me you insolent little......."

Son : "Hey, fine. I will be good. Don't get mad."

Mother : "Good, you're learning to listen then."
She looks away as she turns back to her phone before looking up to me.
"How are we suppose to know that you're not a liar?"

(sarcastically)
Son : "You have the power to crush me in 2 seconds. Is that enough proof?"

Mother : "Ugh so annoying but I guess so."
She rolls her eyes as she looks on her phone, before looking up to me.
"One more question and this is your only warning so be smart about your decisions."

"Where do you want to sleep?"

Son : "The damn bed. On the damn bed. You turned my room into a storage after i shrunk in size. And the only bed is now yours. Let me sleep with you. It is quite big anyway."

She chuckles and shakes her head as she rolls her eyes before looking back at her phone.
Mother : "No, find something else. I have no intentions in letting you sleep in this bed."

Son : "Why not!? I cannot even disturb you during your sleep because of my size. I cannot understand the problem."

Mother : "I don't care whether you disturb me during my sleep or not, you're not gonna sleep in my bed or near me."
She says with a stern voice as her tone gets sharper as she is being strict with me.

(with frustration)
Son : "Why do you hate me so much? What did i ever do to you?"

Mother : "Just shut it and find something else to sleep in"
She raises her voice with anger as she speaks with a aggressive tone as she crosses her arms and gives me a serious look.

Son : "Alright then. Any other ideas better than your drawer?"

Mother : "That's not my problem, figure one out yourself."
She rolls her eyes as she said that and starts scrolling back on her phone once more.
