Old Friends

So the new idea of my story is something that most kids go through: moving on from their invisible friends. My main character is a little kid who is having trouble dealing with the fact that his invisible friend has left him. He feels alone until he realizes that his friend, Charlie, is only trying to help him by leaving.

Listen, Charlie.

I know you can hear.

I know you can see.

But I don’t care, Charlie.

I don’t want to talk to you.

I don’t want your help.

You stay away, Charlie.

Stay in your house.

I don’t care.

I can help myself, Charlie.

I don’t need you, Charlie.

I truly do mean this, Charlie.

I am having a lot of fun.

A lot of fun all by myself.

I am doing great things, Charlie.

Great things without you.

And when I am done,

You will wish you never left, Charlie.

Well you can’t come back.

I won’t let you, Charlie.

And I mean it, Charlie.

I don’t want you to have

the things that I have now.

You stay there, Charlie.

Don’t come back.

Don’t even try.

Don’t even think.

Are you listening Charlie.

These things I am doing

they are really neat.

It is really neat, Charlie.

You were my friend, Charlie.

Remember all the things we did, Charlie.

All the good times we had.

And all the trouble we made.

Remember those days, Charlie.

We ran through the woods, Charlie.

And ran through the park,

We ran from our parents,

And we ran from our Monsters, Charlie.

Remember those monsters, Charlie.

With their green faces

and their squiggly purple hair.

With their big white teeth

and their big red mouths.

We ran from those monsters, Charlie

Until there were no monsters.

Now those monsters are gone, Charlie.

Just like you.

You all left me, Charlie.

But I don’t need you anymore.

I have new friends, Charlie.

Friends that help me.
