Log for April 5th:
I
think I understand.
Once
upon a time
There
was a little magnet
Who
was afraid of everything.
She
was a precious little magnet, but didn’t know it
And
she was tugged in all directions
She
was also an unlucky little magnet
Because
all the things she feared wanted her for themselves.
Everyone
was so busy fighting over the magnet that they didn’t notice
A
monster waited in the snow and took the magnet
The
little boy
Who
had ice in his veins
Watched
and tried to get their attention, but it was no use
The
monster ate the magnet up
The
magnet forgot to be afraid, forgot everything
But
there was a new fear in the back of her brain.
The
little magnet grew and grew until she wasn’t so little anymore
And
the new fear waited.
The
new fear waited until there was another monster.
Since
the magnet forgot everything, the magnet forgot to feel weak
Her
weakness was a secret
That
she hid even from herself
And
none of the reminders seemed to work.
She
kept on forgetting and thinking she was okay
Until
a second monster attacked.
The
monster broke the magnet
And
the new fear made itself a home.
Red
seeped in
Red
took hold
Red
killed the monster
And
the magnet was gone forever.
THE
END
