Flash Fiction Writing Challenge – #FridayFotoFiction Nov 17-Nov 22 Prompt
The Crib – #FridayFotoFiction Fiction Writing
They have left me here, alone.
Again I’m myself with her.
I don’t even like her, she’s always on her phone or watching TV.
No one is bothered about me.
Not even three days and already my parents don’t like me anymore.
Will I always be with this baby sitter?
Will my mummy not love me anymore?
Will daddy not play with me anymore?
Will he only play with the new baby?
I’ll not let that happen.
This was my room, all for myself but now I have only a side.
Please god, I didn’t want a brother, I want my mommy back, help me!
***
Every time he looked at the crib he wished God had not heard him that day.
There hasn’t been a day that mom has not shed tears in last 6 months.
God, please give him back to mommy. I want to see her smile.

Very touching story. You never know how the elder kid perceive their thoughts. Their insecurity lead them to think bad about their own siblings.
