I HATE JACK!
MY MOMMY AND DADDY ARE GONE
THE NICE DOCTORS AND NURSES ARE GONE
ONLY JACK IS HERE.
Jack is laughing. He looks like he is the one who belongs at the crazy place. His laugh sounds weird. He's holding something shiny, but it's covered in red paint. I asked what it was.
He said it was a paintbrush.
I asked if everybody went to his mommy and daddy's house. He just kept laughing. I know they did.
I asked if they went to Heaven. He said the only angel wings they would ever see were his. He laughed and laughed and said not as long as he's guarding the gates.
I'm afraid... I'm so scared. I want my mommy. I want my daddy. I DON'T want Jack. Jack asked me if I was his friend. I didn't say anything. I just wanted Jack to go away. I did the first thing that I could think of. I grabbed the pill from the first time I was given one. I still had it. I swallowed it. Jack didn't notice. He was too busy laughing. I fell asleep later. The medicine made me tired. And Jack was gone.
But mommy and daddy weren't back. Later, police officers came into the hospital. They found me. They asked me what happened. I told them that I didn't know.. They wouldn't believe me if I told them about Jack.
The police officers took me with them. I made sure they had my medicine. I don't ever want to see Jack again. I hope he just goes back to his mommy and daddy's house.
