Miriam
"Ky's friend where are you?" I picked at my fingers until they bled and I needed a bandaid. The little light on the ceiling flashed and made a beeping sound. That was how I knew Ky's friend was about to talk to me.
"You're just like Ruth you know." He started laughing for some reason.
"You know Ruth?" I missed Ruth. She always let me eat chips and snack cakes. Sissy never did, but I missed sissy the most.
"Why yes little Miriam Iv'e known Ruth for quite a while, but she doesn't seem to remember me," he told me. He sounded sad.
"Sometimes my friends who I haven't talked to in a while forget me too." He laughed again, but for a shorter time than the last. He got very quiet.
"Ky's friend are you there I need a bandaid?"
"Miriam you are a very unique girl," he sighed, "just like my Ruthie."
"But what about my bandaid?" I whined loudly! He didn't answer me, but the red light was still on. Was he ignoring me? What was that other voice I heard? It sounded very familiar.
"It's time for phase three Xavier." What was that guy talking about? "Please go report the news to Barnett if you will friend." It was Ky's friend who spoke to me next.
"Miriam you're going to take a little nap and when you wake up you'll have that bandaid."
"But I'm not tired," I screamed at the ceiling!
"Just relax Miriam you will be soon." My head started hurting really bad, but he was right I got super sleepy.
