my nane is Averdine and I live alone in a small apartment in a small neighborhood in a really, really big city. the only company I keep is with a stuffed monkey my parents gave me as a child. My parents died in a car crash on they're way home from a christmas party. it was a hit and run. I am still haunted by the image of their car being dragged from the icy water. It was the first time in my life I have wanted the warmth of some one else so much. I sat in the hospital having been called in to identify the bodies. I was only thirteen at the time. i walked through the dors into a cold steril white room that was freezing and smelt of death. "Here they are." the man in the white coat said a smike on his face. he pulled back the white sheet and i saw her face she was cold her lips were blue and she seemed to only be sleeping. he moved to the next one and pulled back the sheet. "daddy..." I said distraught. the only two people on the world I knew gone just like that.
