Haunted?
For Rick Henry Christopher's ''The Haunted Letter'' Challenge
Mom…
I hope you are not too sad that I am gone and that you know that I always love you and mr bunny that you always put on my bed when I was sleeping and he would fall off and I would wake up and find him on the chair beside me until one day you tried to wake me up and I could not get up and mr bunny was on the floor but all I could hear was you screaming and daddy screaming and bobby and danny crying and pretending that they were not when I went into the room and they could not see me and that was when I knew what was happening and I tried to cry too but all I could do was stand there and they said they felt cold as I walked past them and mr bunny was on the ground and you and daddy were still crying and I tried to pick him up and you were so loud and I kept trying and he fell out of the chair and you got so scared that you left me all alone and I could look at myself and I knew what was happening and I was not even scared with the sickness and you would not step back in with daddy and left me here so I said that I could write this if I really tried and it look like yes! I can write to you and leave this for you after all this and you can know that I am still here and that I am not going to scare you or daddy or bobby and danny and you can send me a note and I am a big girl and you were the best and mr bunny is yours now and please write to me when you can and I will always be here for you and you should not cry so much I love you and I am your daughter…
