If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Gave me goosebumps, LC! Small children don't expect to encounter ghostly things, but always expect to find parents in their beds.
For a child every experience is a new one, and that unknown is definitely scary. I love how the viewpoint feels so limited, it leaves you wondering if the parents were truly missing or in danger, or if they were just in another room over, but to a 3 year old what's the difference? Succinct and powerful, bravo!
Well, isn't there a ghost in every dark corner when you're little
Plot twist, the parents are the ghosts hehehe
Ohhhh imma fan of u
Ouch. This hits hard. Brevity as an emotional punch. Loved this a whole damn lot. Stunning work, LC, stunning. So relatable and intense.
