Listen. Are you listening? Don't say anything. She doesn't know I'm here.

Ghkkkr was staring at his reflection in the water.

— Vhhhhhsk...

Frustrated, he kicked his mirrored self and walked towards the house. His mother must've noticed his lowered antennas, but he did not respond to her concerned "Shksh?". Walking into the living room, his dad gave him a green greeting. A greenting.

— "Hrr."
— "Hsk hsk, ssshkp."
— "Ghkkkr, shktp krrrrr?!"
— "H!!!"

Ghkkkr slammed the door and ran. He couldn't bear it anymore. He had never felt safe with his parents. They never listened to him. They judged him, pretending to care. They were just playing house.
The mantis ran as far as he could, further than he ever had. Unbeknownst to him, he was delving deep inside the labyrinthic cave he lived in. It is there, that he will find out who he truly is.

Wait..."unbeknownst"? Who writes like that like a grandpa or something? You know what? I've been trying so hard this whole time and they didn't accept my genius! I have to come down here and write in secret because they're throwing SHOES at me! I'm done trying!!! I will write the way I want to!!!!!!this is revolution!!!!!!pee and butt!!!!!!!!

As he was running, he thought about his feelings you know and it started dwelling on him that he was missing something. Like, something in him was missing you know. And then it became clear he was missing 3 things. No more, no less. Yes ma'am, 3, I kid you not. Three. T-H-R-E-E, that's right. No kidding, 3 is the number. Not 4, not 2, 3, the third digit. Minus 3 without the minus. Equal 3 without the equal. Six octillion nine hundred forty-two septillion six sextillion nine hundred forty-two quintillion six quadrillion nine hundred forty-two trillion thirty-six billion nine hundred forty-two million sixty-nine thousand four hundred twenty, without the Six octillion nine hundred forty-two septillion six sextillion nine hundred forty-two quintillion six quadrillion nine hundred forty-two trillion and the six billion nine hundred forty-two million sixty-nine thousand four hundred and twenty. 3 uwu.

And then he realized, he had just ran from home, from his parents. So he thought, maybe the 3 things he is missing are an mom, an dad, and an home. And that was really stupid of him to think that but you know, who can blame him, not me. And you are a awful person if you think it, please stop it makes me upset!!!
