The Feeling of Strings

Y/N: Mom, has Fritz come home yet?

Mother: No I'm afraid not. They're still looking for her.

Y/N: Where is she.. Fritz...why did you run away? Was it something I said?

The child walked through the back door of their house and stared at the night sky.

Y/N: Please come back home? I...I haven't even asked if you like me.

————————————————————————

???: Useless... it's what's become of me...

The room was dimly lit, spider webs formed around the corners where dust grew. Four gentle souls, fuels with longing and hatred kept each other company while children were at play. They were scared, afraid of what their appearance would cause to the kids.

*Metal scrapping*

???: F-F-Fritz....s-still drawing your f-f-friend...?

Fritz:...

???: I b-b-bet he's doing the s-s-same thing...

Fritz:...he probably forgot about me...

???: Don't say that. He's your best friend right? He would never forget about you. That doesn't seem like him.

Fritz: Grabriel, would you be friends with someone if they became a murderer?

Gabriel: Fritz please you-

Fritz: Yes...or no Gabriel.

Gabriel: You can't just...

???: I-I-it's C-complic-cated...b-but you can't b-blame yourself for what h-h-he did...

Fritz: She was begging for her dad. I heard all of it. I felt her head in my mouth Jeremy.

Jeremy: Y-you had n-n-no cont-t-trol of what he did to y-you..

Gabriel: Susie, tell her.

Susie: Tell her what? That it's not her fault? It truly wasn't, but why would she listen to me. Mother? Is that you?

Fritz: No Susie...mom's not here yet.

Susie: When will she be back? I've got a tea party to attend. I can't let my friends be left hungry without my pastries.

Jeremy: S-she will be here a-s-soon S-Susie...don't worry...

Fritz: I wish I could just...forget like she can...

Gabriel: We all do. Right, it's Friday guys. What goals did we accomplish for the week?

Jeremy: I f-fixed my guitar...b-b-but they gave it to her. But I d-don't mind...She's too d-dreamy to be mad at...

Gabriel: Right...I think that's a guy...uh...What about you Fritz?

Fritz: I fixed my eyes for the tenth time. But all these spare parts are worn down. Meaning that I can still be blinded by the lights.

Gabriel: At least you can see right?

Fritz: Sure.

Gabriel: And you Susie?

Susie: I was able to stitch my mouth together. I can finally speak normally. But I can't do the same for poor Chica. My needles don't work on her tough skin.

Gabriel: I mean, we all have started something and completed it at least right? I sorta fixed my lazy eye, so now I don't see two things at once.

Fritz: I guess that's good enough.

*muffled voices.*

Gabriel: (Another day...)

Jeremy: (Another salvage...)
