Lots of times I think back to when I was a kitten, and it is hard to remember, but there's lots of feelings that still live in my memory. I remember the smell my mother had, the same scent as cuddling in a warm blanket on a rainy day. I remember the different tones of mews each of my five siblings had, and how I loved hearing it because it reminded me I had a family.

It's been many years since I first settled here--I was just a hatchling, barely able to fly."Aileth, my little darling," Mother says to me as she leaves our home, which was hidden in the forest. "I have to leave. You and Mosi will stay here. Wait for me," my older brother watches as she fades into the distance--her shadow heading towards the shouting and screaming from the city."Mosi?" I ask, scared for the answer. "Is mom really coming back?" Mosi just looks at me, curling himself in the corner of the room.Mother never did come back. Mosi w...

TW: There is mention of death, suicide, and insanity."Mara,""Mara,""MARA,"I don't even know if I am Mara anymore. I don't think the version of me shouting knows either. That's why it has to end.Three weeks ago...Of course today is going to start off like this. I wake up to the fire alarm going off in my neighbor's apartment. She's 90 and probably shouldn't be living on her own. I've offered Mrs. Brady to live with me many times, but she never take the offer.KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK "Mrs. Brady?" No reply. I knock again.
