3. Childhood

When adults use children as a pawn. A micro narration in a minute or so.

TRANSCRIPT
She has given me a letter. To give him. And she wants me to ask him why he doesn’t sleep home any more. I don’t want to. But if I tell her so, she will be angry with me. And cry again. I am scared. He doesn’t hit me. But I know that he doesn’t want the letter, and doesn’t want me to ask him. I don’t know what is happening. I want to stay alone, or at school. I don’t remember when it started. I am sure: it wasn’t like this before. I don’t know what to do until he comes home from work. He used to come home much earlier. Now he comes late. Sometimes he goes out again. All night. I don’t want to give him the letter. I don’t want her to be mad at me. Tomorrow I run away.
