You were a shy girl...

You also lived alone and had no friends... just coworkers...

You were often too scared to really speak to them and all of your friends you did have were no longer around...

The gentle sound of the wind was around you as you walked in your fuzzy sweater dress and your fluffy boots...
Your scarf blew in the breeze while your touque laid delicately upon your head.

You sighed as you entered work...
Another day at Mk. Miyo's....
You get in uniform and get ready to work...

The people you worked with whispered about you as you worked.

You were never cashier or anything because of your inability to speak well with strangers.

You sighed as you cooked fries and burgers, Sorry Mkfries and MkBurgers...

You hated it here, the place made you feel sick...
Today was rather cold as you had to burn wood in your fireplace to keep warm since you couldn't afford an air conditioner.

You know the people you work with are talking about how short and dumb you were, you felt awful, they also called you weak and called you innocent because you were a virgin and you didn't really get into sex stuff as much as they did...

You sigh sadly as yet another mess is blamed on you today and you must clean up more disgusting stuff off the floor due to children...

You didn't mind smaller children making a mess as they couldn't help it... but when the kids who knew better did it... you got a bit unhappy...

Mostly it was kids in elementary school or teens who made the worst messes...

You had to clean the mess of a certain group of boys who had their eye on you and were aiming at you, throwing stuff at you...

Their mother saved you and apologized and of course you forgave her as she seemed very busy and very nice...

She even had asked if she could pay for you to get your clothes cleaned or something but you refused... she seemed too nice... you couldn't bring yourself to take it...

When your shift was over that night... you walked back home... to your old, rickety house...

The weather had gotten ugly as a blizzard struck...

Your boss was nice to you and advised against going home but you thanked them for their concern and went off anyways...

On the way however...
You saw a man...
He seemed to be very pretty and well dressed...

You ran to him as his body was slightly covered in snow, passed out...

He had a stuffy with him that you put into your scarf to make sure it didn't fall as you dragged him towards your house...

You were exhausted when you made it back...

The you got the fire going again and put the strange man onto the matress you slept on... you were fine with sleeping on the floor...

He felt horribly cold and you checked for a pulse...
It was faint...

You also checked for a heartbeat but there was only the sound of a music box... playing a beautiful and sad tune...
You held your head.
"I'm losing my mind..." You said to yourself as you held the stuffy and brought it to your own... keeping it close to the others...

You loved your stuffed animals...
Your favorite however was the one you made when you were a small child...

You were a teen now... almost old enough to graduate if you had been able to...

You couldn't keep up with school and so you were forced to drop out...

You sighed and held your mixed up animal...
It had a cute kitten face with the legs of a deer and the tail of a bunny... it's body was from a greyhound stuffy...

You smile at it... it was your favorite color and it's eyes were beautiful, black buttons...  your best friend died and your parents disappeared so you had sewn charms from them onto the ears like earrings...

You laid next to your stuffy and the other....

Then you got up and kept trying to see what you could do about the man, he stirred a few times but did nothing more...
He was alive... that was for sure...

You soon fell asleep... a hot cup of cocoa nearby for the man when he awoke...
