An unlikely team, Snake and Hamster, put their heads together to escape the pet store on the only day of the year there is no staff; Christmas.

A one-shot for a writing prompt - target length 1k words.

Zhang Yun is a gaming hamster. For a special mission in the Lost Kingdom, he has been a hamster for ten years. To his surprise one day, the game suddenly announces that the server will be permanently going offline just as he's about to complete the mission…

However, at the moment the game goes permanently offline, he actually brings the game system to an alternate world. He also brings along everything in his inventory, including his hundred million summoning scrolls.

Uh?

For a ten-year hamster to become rich overnight, what worries does he have at conquering the alternate world?

Ah, I'm sorry. You're mistaken. I don't want to fight. I just want to be a silent hamster…

Zhang Yun has a habit of hoarding stuff in games. For the sake of a special quest in the game 'Lost Kingdom', he's been hoarding all kinds of items for ten years straight. Just as he's on the verge of completing that quest, suddenly there comes an announcement that the server will be taken offline.
And then, at the moment of shutdown, he's transported into the game world, along with everything in his inventory... including one hundred million summoning scrolls.
Huh?
Ten years hoarding all this loot... every challenge rendered moot?
Ah, but please, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not looking for any trouble--just a quiet little hoarder, nothing more...

In the world of Beast people, there is one rule that needs to be abode by all-- that hierarchy must be preceded. It is a place where strongest predators prey and immortals rule over others, it is only to ensure the balance in the cycle of life.

For Chii, coming from a hamster litter; it isn't an easy life.

After everything was ready, he finally collapsed into the reclining chair.

In the past, Zhang Zian always thought it was easy to run a pet shop. Now he finally realized that it was really difficult. However, this was his own choice, he had already sent a resignation letter to his company; it was too late to regret it.

But when he saw several energetic cubs full of beautiful fur innocently looking at him, asking for food, he felt that all of his pain had been rewarded.

"Galaxy, how about taking a bath?" he joked with his Lucky Cat, who had been observing for a long time.

The Lucky Cat shook its head desperately, indicating that this matter was not negotiable.

Zhang Zian also thought that the Lucky Cat didn’t need a bath at all, as his fur was even cleaner than those that had just received one. He really didn’t know how that could happen like this.

A little while later, the floral shop delivery man parked his electric tricycle in front of the shop and knocked on the glass door. He also tried to look inside through the glass holding the shed.

Galaxy had already carried its cotton pads and huddled into the corner. Zhang Zian bounced from the reclining chair at once and hurried to open the door. The cold morning air poured in with the opening of the door.

"Is this the flower basket your ordered?" the delivery man asked.

"Well, yes. Thanks a lot." Zhang Zian took out the money to pay him.

"Is this a pet shop?" the man asked while counting the money.

"Yes," Zhang Zian replied.

The man put the money in his pocket but didn’t leave. He looked inside and said, "How much is the puppy?"

"Is this the so-called business knocking on my door?" he thought.

Zhang Zian tried not to show his excitement and said, "My shop was just opened. There weren’t a lot of pets yet but we have a Samoyed, if you would like to take a look."

The man thought for a while and said, "Samoyed, I’ve heard of it before. How much is it?"

"Ah? So expensive? No! No! You are too deceptive! A puppy is much more expensive than a person!" The man hurried away with a brief wave.

Zhang Zian felt helpless and went back to the shop with a bitter smile. The price of ¥2500, which was almost the same as its cost, was not that expensive. He initially wanted to sell it for at least ¥3000. The pet had been immunized with six imported vaccines at Pet’s Home. Those imported vaccines were much more expensive than domestic ones. But he never had a chance to explain that, as the man had already escaped from him, as if he was running away from the Plague Gods. 

Pets were luxuries, not daily necessities. In other words, was it expensive to have a ¥2500 necklace? Was it expensive to have a ¥2500 diamond ring? Was it expensive to have a ¥2500 LV bag? 

"Not closing the deal today was okay, and it might have been a lucky thing for the Samoyed. If that man was barely willing to pay ¥2500 for it, once the Samoyed had a serious illness, the man would give it up, as the pet didn’t have medical insurance," Zhang Zian thought. 

When Zhang Zian thought of the word "lucky," he looked at the quiet and cute Lucky Cat with a smile.

When he had just laid down on the reclining chair, a girl with two braids peeked in. "Manager, are there any pets yet?" she said.

It was the little girl from the other day who had said her family couldn’t have a pet. She still had her schoolbag; it seemed that she had dropped by on her way to school.

"Yes, come in and take a look if you want," he said.

Zhang Zian was under great pressure, as he didn’t expect that the first customer would be a schoolgirl without any money. The girl gave a loud cheer and ran into the shop with her little schoolbag lightly trembling on her back.

"It’s okay to check the pets, but don’t be late for school, all right?" he reminded her.

"Yes!"

She stopped at the pet display area with her mouth half-open and full of excitement, looking at the Siamese cat, the British Shorthair, and the Samoyed. Then, her eyes finally fell on the little hamster.

Zhang Zian had just combed the hamster’s hair, which made it look very clean. Hamsters did not usually need to take baths, because they had very small figures. Bathing in the water could make them sick. If bathing was necessary, they had to be washed with special sand. As a matter of fact, the hamster’s activities area was limited to the cage, so keeping the cage clean would help keep the hamster clean, and no bath would be needed.

The hamster was a milky color, with chubby cheeks that were cute to poke at. It had three black lines on its head, going all the way down the back like the popular mohican hair style.

Half of the hamster’s body was buried in sawdust, and its two small round black eyes stared at the little girl.

"How small! How cute!" the little girl exclaimed and clapped her hands.

She looked left and right around the hamster cage made of transparent, acrylic plate circles. It looked like she wanted to go into the cage and play with the hamster.

The lights in the Amazing Fate Pet Shop were regional. Zhang Zian dimmed the light in the middle area to fit to the little hamster’s vision, it being a nocturnal animal, so that it could see the little girl.

"Anyway, there are no other guests right now, so it’s better to save power," he thought.

"Manager, what does it eat?" she asked, turning her head toward Zhang Zian.

"Well… It has a mixed diet, such as common fruits and vegetables; in addition, peanuts, melon seeds, yellow beans, and black beans are also okay," he answered.

"Oh! Can I bring something tomorrow to feed it?" The girl bit her lips nervously, begging. She was concerned that Zhang Zian wouldn’t agree.

"Sure, but don’t feed it too much. Just several peanuts are more than enough. The hamster is so small that it doesn’t eat a lot. If it eats too much, that will not be good for its health," Zhang Zian said.

"Thanks, Manager! I am going to school now, bye-bye!" 

She hurried out just like she had come in, with her two ponytails and backpack swinging up and down.

"Kids at her age should be dropped off and picked up at school by their parents. How could her parents let her go to school by herself?" Zhang Zian thought.

When the little girl had just stepped out, a slim figure entered the door.

"Was that girl your daughter?" Sun Xiaomeng asked.

Sun Xiaomeng’s first sentence after getting into the shop almost made Zhang Zian faint. The old wounds of last night were not healed, but new wounds were already being made today.

"Am I so old?" Zhang Zian touched his face, depressed.

Without the white coat, Sun Xiaomeng appeared to be a young, urban beauty. Zhang Zian barely recognized her.

"How do you have time to come today?" He rose up from the reclining chair.

"Well, is it a question? My pet clinic was just opened too. There are almost no customers, just like yours, so I stopped by." Sun Xiaomeng didn’t even greet him, walking directly towards the display case and playing with the cubs.

She had done all the cubs’ vaccinations, so they seemed very close to her, immediately trying to get to the side of the display case.

"No, no, you misunderstood that my shop was really just opened. The customers are on their way here!" Zhang Zian stressed.

System Shop:
 
[Skills]
[Abilities]
[Create]
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
 
'System, what do these do.' He wanted to find out what it was from the system, rather than discovering it on his own, since he might miss something.
 
[By selecting one of the tabs, you can exchange points for either skills, abilities, or a creation.]
 
'How do I get points.'
 
[... Inflicting some kind of pain(and or suffering) or being the cause (Which can be indirectly) of pain, upon a living being will help you gain points.]
 
Tian Xiao had ignored getting any points for now, since he was in a hospital, and directed his attention towards the [Create] tab in the system shop. When he clicked on it, the system shop turned into a blank white page with a symbol at the top.
 
It looked like a microphone. Tian Xiao had already asked the system what this page was for.
 
[Tian Xiao can imagine items or beings even with different effects, and the system will determine its worth in points, so that Tian Xiao can use points to purchase it.]
 
'That's incredibly awsome!' He also especially paid attention to the part where it said he could imagine beings and buy them from the system.
 
He started to test it, by imagining a saber tooth tiger. Ding! Right after he imagined it, a item appeared on the white screen and when he clicked on it more information appeared under it.
 
[Saber tooth tiger -- 15,000]
(An extinct species of animal on Earth)
 
'15,000!? that's an incredible amount!' He was surprised at the large amount for a saber tooth tiger, but it might have been understandable.
 
[This species is already an extinct animal that does not exist anymore. Furthermore, it was quite dangerous and a few key details about it weren't specified about this creature. Only the image of a grown saber tooth was imagined.]
 
 
'So that's the reason for the crazy amount... ' Tian Xiao was disappointed at first, but then another idea struck him.
 
'If the animal isn't at all dangerous and already exists, would the amount decrease?'
 
[Damn. Possibly, depending on the creature.] The system didn't seem too happy at him figuring it out so quickly.
 
Ding!
 
He quickly looked at the shop for the creature he imagined.
 
[Hamster-- 3]
(An altered hamster, a two inch sized hamster incapable of injuring it's creater)
 
Tian Xiao was ecstatic at the amount for creating a living hamster. He already assumed that three points would be very little. He was itching to gain some points.
 
'I really hope the time goes by faster!'
 
~~~
~~~
~~~
A day passed and thanks to his ability, his injured leg healed quicker than normal. The time he spent in the hospital also allowed him to learn about the system. Apparently, he had an inventory thing, but he couldn't test it in the hospital.
 
'Finally! I get to earn some points!' Tian Xiao left the hospital with a smile on his face. However, right now he had to go back home. The bill was already paid by the lady who hit him. What a nice lady.
 
He walked on the sidewalks for a while but he ended up right back at the hospital? He was completely lost. The only route he remembered was the one from home to the school. What a failure this was... Tian Xiao could only continue walking in hoped of finding home.
 
'Huh?' For some reason he ended up in an alleyway without even knowing! For some reason he still kept walking.
 
"Hehe~ What a stupid girl." The voice he heard was in front of him. A skinny man with spiked yellow hair was smoking and a dead girl laying on the floor next to him.
 
The moment he saw and observed everything, he knew that man was going to be his target for points. Unconsciously, his ability stayed active, and when Tian Xiao rushed in, he moved at a speed that the man couldn't even react to in time. After he appeared from almost no where, he punched the man in the stomache, making him fall to the ground in pain.
 
[+10 points]
 
When he got a notification for his first ten points, Tian Xiao became ecstatic! He then crushed both of the man's legs and arms. He received forty more points. The man cowered in fear and pain from the little boy. Tian Xiao's glowing red eyes and evil grin, it looked like the devil making him suffer!
 
'Oh, this man can't move anymore.' The man had tried to crawl away, but his limbs were broken and he couldn't get anywhere far.
 
[+10 points for creating a trauma ]
 
'Nice.'
 
Tian Xiao started to break even more of his bones, one by one, making sure he felt the pain. Screams and crying echoed in the dark empty alley way. Puddles of blood started spilling across the entire alley. Then, he picked up the cigarette this guy was smoking. The thing was still burning hot, and Tian Xiao knew exactly what to do with it.
 
The muffled cries of terror came when he opened the, already in absolute pain, man's mouth and slowly put the burning cigarette into the man's throat. The guy started choking and crying but all he could do was lay there and die.
 
[+35 points for a slow, painful, and traumatic death ]
 
He didn't leave the alley just yet, since stealing the guys wallet was a must, since his parents didn't give him any money. A few ten dollars bills was the only thing the wallet had. Though, Tian Xiao still walked out of the alley happily, because he just got 145 points from just one person. And he didn't even break all of that guys bones.
 
He used the shop to create a new black jacket and pants, which had only costed two points. The clothes was also automatically sent into his inventory. When he tried to get the clothes, a red circle with strange patterns spun and the jacket and pants fell out of it.
 
After changing, Tian Xiao walked around without a specific destination. It was starting to get dark already. Maybe out of pure luck, he stopped in front of a a police station.
 
knock knock!
 
After knocking on the door twice, he just decided to enter on his own. No one really noticed him for quite a while either.
 
....
 
"What's a kid doing doing here?" A female officer was walking through the hallway, when she saw Tian Xiao, also looking around the place.
 
"What's your name, little kid?" She got closer and looked down at him.
 
"Tian Xiao."

The Unfinished stories of novels that the author(me) has wrote but never published.

[Keep in mind that none of these stories have been completely finished, but there are probably some chapters I wrote and didn't upload. The genre as well, it confused me on whether this should be a novel or a fanfic.]

Neither the cover nor anything like characters from fanfic stories belong to me (unless it's an original character). It is alright if the original owner of one of the fanfics wants one of the stories to be taken down.

Roselyn walked through the corridor, smiling like an idiot, feeling so happy that she could explode with joy. Andreas asked her out for a real date. She barely could believe it.
She freezes in the middle of the hall, when she remembers she doesn't have a dress. She just had brought a few of her clothes with her. But worse was the fact that she's never had a date before, which made things even more complicated. What was she supposed to do? What could she talk about? She knew nothing about magic, so that was a topic to avoid. She couldn't even talk about herself because he basically already knew all her difficulties, because of the dossier he and the entire council had to examine before admitting her to the school.
In a nutshell, all they had in common, all they could talk about was sex? Roselyn shakes her head. The date was already ruined by her overthinking.
"Why do you look like you've just found out your hamster died?" Karen questioned, staring at Roselyn freed in the middle of the school. "Wait, do you have a hamster? Oh my god, I'm so sorry for your los.."
Roselyn turns around and stares at her bug eyed, "oh. that's serious." Karen continued.
"It is!" Roselyn exclaims walking quickly toward the exit, while Karen tried to keep up with her fast walking. "I have a date. I've never had a date before. In addition, I don't have a dress, I don't know what to do!!" She says freaking out.
"So your hamster didn't die?" She questioned, still puzzled, Roselyn rolls her eyes as a response.
"Alright, I can help you with everything then. I'm free now, let's go shopping and buy a dress!" She shows a cocky wink and confident smile, then she puts her arms on the hips, "But who is your date??"


Roselyn shrugs, trying to ignore that question-
"Tell me or I won't help you!" She half smiled, making Roselyn scoffs.
"But you can't tell anybody." Roselyn replied with a low voice. They reached the garden and were chatting in front of a bench.
Karen nods, eager to know who that mysterious man was.
"Andreas.." Roselyn admits, Karen suddenly puts her hand over her mouth in shock but then smiles "I knew it!"
"He had many girls, and the only one he went out with was Emily. However, before having dates with her, he hanged out with her for years." She noted.
"You think he's playing me?" Rose questioned. slightly concerned after what she just said yet glad because she was feeling somehow special to find out he was paying special attention to her,
"I don't know, but he's not the guy who dates, trust me, I've known in for years and he always leaves the girl when she gets close too much. But maybe he could still have good intentions." she rested his chin in his palm and looked thoughtful.
"You're making me confused!" Roselyn complains.
"Sorry! Look, go for the date and see what happens. You didn't catch feeling already right?"
Roselyn nods no, trying to seem as convincing as possible.
"well don't catch feelings, number one rule. Boys are not worth it, they are just going to break your heart" she states nodding with her head like if she knew exactly what she was talking about.
It was too late for Roselyn not to catch feelings. Every time she was around him she felt like she was safe, like she was standing with an army. She felt like she found the right place, that place where she belonged, near him.
They get in Karen's car so they can drive in the shop that, from Karen's description, it was 'THE shop for all the baddest bitches out there', she said clapping her hands.


When they arrive there, from the outside the shop seemed pretty much normal, but as soon as Roselyn walked in she remains amazed by the sight of such an odd shop. It seemed to come from the future. It had fitting rooms here and there, in which there was what seemed like an electronic device. Clients had to scroll down to check clothes, once they picked one dress they just had to click on it and, somehow, that device would put the dress on clients. She tries to walk in those special rooms, hardly believing that something like that could be possible. When she moves the curtain to walk in, a laser light scan her down, probably to take her measurements and pick the right dress side.
She scrolls down that weird monitor, checking for the right dress. There were dresses of every kind, from short to middle length to long. With every style, from vintage '80'-'90 years to haute couture. It was incredible. That might be the reason why there weren't many clothing shops there, because there was no need for any additional shop if one included at least the amount of 100 shops in the Earth.


"Here it is!" Rose exclaimed enthusiastically.
'Once picked the dress, please spell aloud the code below the selected dress. Thanks for your patience!' she read the reminder that popped out on the desktop. She clears her voice and spell aloud the code.
In a sudden a wind carrying black particles which fly around her body in circular motion slowly wrapping her body from bottom to top, Roselyn spread her arms wide to facilitate the process and in a few seconds she was wearing a beautiful short dress. It was a v neck flared mini skirt dress. Sexy, but still sophisticated. It seemed the perfect, breath-taking dress she was looking for!


She walks out the door to see what Karen thought but as soon as she steps out Karen smiles in awe letting her deduct her approval.
"Bet he's going to propose when he sees you!" She exclaims.
Roselyn giggles at her friend's statement and checks at herself in the mirror admiring how the dress suited her, she takes a twirl and smiles seeing how the skirt swayed and raised twirling.

Roselyn’s life is completely changed when she is taken to Xilentia: a magic school situated in one of the five realms of the Otherworld. A parallel world to Earth in which mystical creatures and magicians are commonplace. 

However, her fate is revealed when the evilest and powerful dragon picked her, such a thing happened only once every thousand years but Pagos never made mistakes and always successfully chosen the person who was evil enough to destroy the whole universe and strong enough to take over humanity.

Will she succeed in being the first good ruler of the whole universe or will she let her evil nature take over fully and side with evil creatures to begin massive destruction?

Andreas is her professor in the school and the one in charge of tutoring her during her journey of learning how to use her powers. Even though sentimental relationships are severely prohibited, they soon fell in love and started having an impossible rocky secret relationship.

When he saw her in action he immediately doubted her real nature but still decided to help her to keep it secret but for how long? 
Will their love be enough strong to resist all the hindrances that will get in the way?

-------------------------------------

"I had to take a step back, Margaret wanted me to. I am your professor, and the magic council already looks at you sideways. I didn't want to cause additional trouble to you."

He gasped as his eyes filled with tears, his voice was broken and he sounded vulnerable, "But I do, I love you so much that I am so scared of all the emotions I feel when I am with you. I thought that making you hate me would make you forget me and eventually make the whole process of moving on easier for both of us."

Roselyn walked toward Andreas, but Pagos roared at her having her pause her rush walk to look at her creature puzzled. 
"What else did you tell my dragon?" she asked.

"I told him to kill me before you did. Because my heart couldn't bear the pain of being killed by the one and only girl that it ever was capable of loving."

[The cover belongs to the respective owner.]

         
        A couple more minutes of silence pass by until we see a police car drive its way past our two beat up cars and towards the bench where Andrew and I are awkwardly sitting.

  The two officers get out of their car and make their way towards the two of us, pulling a pen and a notepad out of their pockets. 

"Hello Mr and Ms . . .," one of the officers says before stopping mid-sentence at the sight of Andrew. 
"Hello, Officer Hererra and Officer Perez. Surprising evening isn't it?" Andrew says casually with a smirk.

     I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and look between the officers and Andrew.

 Excuse me. What?
"Indeed . . . this is quite the surprise Chief," Officer Perez says while fixing his police hat and clearing his throat. 

  Wait wait wait, what. Did this officer guy just call Andrew 'Chief'? Hah. What a surprise. I swear he looks like . . . a businessman. I don't know! Just his looks, the way he dresses and his handsome figure give off a rich look! Lord, when did I become so judgemental?

    Officer Hererra turns to me while Officer Perez questions Andrew about the situation, more like chatting actually.

"Hello Ms. . . .," Hererra says, stopping to look at me.

"It's Ms. Dawn. Rozelle Dawn," I say with a small smile.

A few seconds pass by while the officer writes things down on his notepad, glancing back and forth between his notepad and both of my eyes. 
Ugh, I should be used to this by now. They probably think I'm a freak or whatnot, whatever, I have no say to think about what they're thinking.
I guess I just . . . can't help but feel one bit ashamed.
"Ok, uh . . . I'm just going to ask you a few questions about your information, like your date of birth, age, occupation, et cetera," the officer says with a questionable hesitation, snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Ok sure," I mumble while glancing at Andrew while he talks to officer Perez.

        _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

    After all the questioning, Andrew offers to call a tow truck to take both of our cars to the repair shop. 
    "Thanks Andrew," I mumble, avoiding any eye contact with him.
"No problem Rose," 

I notice Andrew looking at his watch while looking up at the night sky.
" . . . it's almost midnight, I have to check on my hamster. She's probably going to be so mad at me once I get home," He sighs with a concerned look on his face.
Oh my gosh . . . it's almost midnight! My sleeping schedule is going to be messed up dammit, and I have so much f****** work to do! 

Wait . . . did he just say he has a hamster? 
"Oh, I didn't think you were the kind of person that would own a pet . . . ," I say while looking out into the road.  
I mean . . . it's true, he doesn't look like the type that would own a pet . . . especially a hamster. If he would own a pet, I would think that it would be a big dog like a  Great Dane or a K9. 
    Of course, there is no such thing as a 'type' of a person, but I just can't get that thought out of my head . . . a hamster and a tall muscular handsome man that most likely has a 6 pack . . . omg, maybe even an 8 pack! I blush at the thought of an 8 pack on Andrew. Damn, What the heck is wrong with me!
   Damn . . . now that I think of it, that hamster must be lucky. 

"Yep. Got a little Hamster named Princess Leia. How about you? Do you have any pets? Andrew says breaking me off from my ridiculous thoughts.
"Yes I do, I have a 5 week old pomsky, his name is Chewie. He's so feisty and energetic, makes me happy whenever I see him up early just to wake me up," I say as Andrew nods. 
"Sounds really sweet. Also, do you mind if  I drop you off?" He blurted out. 
Did he just-. . .
  My body froze at his question. What kind of guy asks a lady that he just met in a car crash to drop her off.
   I mean, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have bad intentions . . . but you can never be too sure. There are police officers and plus Andrew is the chief. 

    I debate whether I should let this handsome guy drop me off or not. Well, I do think that his question was stupid, but of course,

 I can't help but say yes.


I'm just a normal 26 year old grown woman, who works as a popular designer. Everyone thinks I'm pretty until they've seen my eyes. That's how it's been since I was a kid.
As a child growing up in London with noticable heterchromia, I was mostly casted out of friend groups, that is until I moved to the states at the age of 8. 

I found friends in highschool that were really loyal and kind, I even met a guy that I dated, but turns out I was just so naive. I couldent see that he was cheating on me. 

I learned my lesson though.
Although. . . .I dont know how it happened, but I met this guy, he was young, his eyes were bright blue. He was tall. He had a muscular build, he was gorgeous and so handsome, he was just breathtaking. His caramel colored hair slightly disheveled, making him even more hot.

"Are you okay miss?" He asked me, his voice full of worry as I nod in response.
His name is Andrew Hugh's, or Andy. . . that's what he told me. 
Later he offered to drop me off at my apartment. 
I accepted, he seemed like a nice guy.
He didn't give me that look of disgust when he looked into my eyes, although I saw a hint of fascination.
A nice guy...
A nice guy, a handsome guy, a hot guy, that turns out to live in the same apartment as me. . . Just 3 doors beside me.
"Thanks," I say, looking into his mesmerizing eyes, while walking towards my apartment room.
"No problem Rosie," He replies as I close the door. 
Okay, WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?
I sat on the couch, thinking about Andrew as I held my puppy.
Is this just a simple crush?
I hope so.
Ugh! This is so confusing, I havent had a boyfriend in 2 years! Am I really losing romantic relationship experience?
This is like some highschool lovedrunk bullsh*t!
I couldent put it as love..
but what if I am..
I couldent possibly fall in love with a this guy. . .that I crashed my car into.


An unexpected event causes a popular designer and the chief of police to run into each other more and more.
Both struggling with their ex's, each day they face personal misunderstandings from their past relationships, only making them realize that both of their ex's know each other, which leads the chief of police and the designer to work more and more together.

Danny came downstairs silent as usual. Every morning since his father left was the same: I would wake up early, make us breakfast and call him exactly once. We would eat together and, despite my efforts to make a conversation, my son would just shake his head yes or no. Then I would kiss his head goodbye and he would leave to take the bus to school.

"I was thinking of getting another hamster" I said, munching on my toast. "To keep Barney company".

Barney was our tuxie hamster. Ever since Danny was little he wanted a hamster, but his father liked cats better, and I wasn't much into pets. We knew we would have to take care of the pet for him. However, after seeing my boy down and awfully quiet for a few weeks, I decided to adopt a hamster to make our home joyous again.

Barney was actually a girl, but the vet just found it out after me and the hamster were used to the name, so I didn't change it.

I easily learned to love my hamster, and Danny seemed at least a little excited about having a pet of his own, but Barney systematically ignored him. I heard of pets ignoring people but this was insane. It was like he wasn't even there.

So I decided to adopt a second kitten mostly to give Danny a pet who gives a fuck.

He agreed with his head and a half-smile that made my day. Then he finished his pancakes, got up and sheepishly leaned in my direction so I would kiss his forehead.

13 is usually a terrible age, but my Danny is such a good boy. If keeping to himself is his way of coping with a broken family, so be it. I had a happy adolescence and by the same age I was already looting my parents and older brother beer; my boy deserved some peace and quiet.

After Danny left to school, I quickly cleaned up and went to my small office. Barney followed me, like she always did when we were home alone.

We live a pretty average life. My house is not small or old, but it's not beautiful either. It's a boring house for a boring untalkative family. I'm doing fine and making decent money as a ghost-writer, but I usually write about the most tedious topics.

I spent all the morning writing without interruptions, made myself a sandwich, made another for Danny and put it in the fridge, then wrote some more. Around 2:30 pm I decided to take a break for grocery shopping.

I'm not a people person but, when you work home alone every day and the only one living with you hasn't spoken a word in eight months, you feel relieved when a familiar face comes your way.

The face belonged to Gloria, the grocery shop manager. She was a motherly older Latina lady, and found me in the snacks corridor.

"Hi, Diana my honeypie", her voice always sounded like singing, and she was always gleeful.

"Hello, Gloria", I smiled back, holding a pack of cookies, "those are Danny's favorite".

"Diana, sweetie", her smile faltered and her chubby face showed genuine concern. "I want you to know that, if you're not holding on, it's ok. You can seek help. Family therapists are great and I happen to know--"

"I appreciate your concern, Gloria. I really do. I will think about it, okay?"

She smiled again and left to talk to another customer.

I knew Gloria meant well, but I couldn't help but feel invaded. I probably mentioned in the grocery store that my husband moved away back when I was a mess about it, although I don't remember.

Going back home, a street I usually take was closed, so I had to turn in the next one possible. I slowed down to turn on my GPS and then I saw it.

It was a huge variety store, announcing big discounts on camping supplies.

I remembered that teenage boys usually love camping, and figured it could be a nice way to reconnect with my son. Hey, mom can be cool and do boys stuff too.

With the help of a very freckled and gentle salesman, I bought all the basics and went home humming happily. I unloaded the car, took the second sandwich from the fridge and went upstairs. By that time, Danny should already be home.

He was in his room, quietly playing videogames. Gloria was right. Maybe we both should go to a therapist. It's not normal to never speak at his age. Maybe I should ask people if he is like that at school. He never had any friends over, so I'll talk to a teacher next week.

Dammit, this is so obvious. It should have occurred to me sooner. But, honestly, I never was the most attentive mother. His father used to take care of this stuff. I miss him sometimes. They were closer than I'll ever be to Danny.

"Hey, baby, I brought you a sandwich", Danny nodded and I kept on talking "You know, I was thinking we could go to a camping trip this weekend. Then the next week we'll adopt our second hamster".

Danny agreed. His face was indecipherable. I wish I could say he was happy, but I didn't know. I never pressured him to talk, but I couldn't help but sigh and say "I wish you would talk to me again someday".

Little did I know that he would, but I wouldn't like it.

I learned from Google what I should do to set up the tent and make a fire, and then discovered there was a small forest nearby where we could go. It had security cabins in three points so, if someone needed help, they wouldn't be on their own.

I didn't buy a lantern because I knew we had at least three at home. It should be in the unused room, with all the stuff my ex-husband owned but didn't take. I opened the door and found something I didn't expect.

It wasn't any unused room. It was a nursery, all decorated for a baby girl. The crib, the toys, everything was new, but covered in a thick layer of dust.

Am I forgetting something important?
