leave an indefinite mark on her psyche .

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

hiccups and whines , tears splotched on her face as she tried wiping away the grime on her face . she ran from home , tripped on the way .

“ h — h — hhelp . . m — me . . please . . t — they . . . ” she stuttered , choking on her words ( + )

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

as she pointed towards the now burning house in the background . “ d — daddy ! they killed m — my daddy . . ! ”

the little girl was wailing , looking up at the woman . she was in hysterics , witnessing something so trauma inducing will ( + )

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

i think it'll be like a scarf for me ! or . . . like a dress ! did you drink tons of milk too to grow ? ! ”

so many questions , it distracted her from the morbid reality . she was more curious about her new friend !

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

“ she liked you ? then you must have taken care of her real good ! ” her imagination was being tested . what else could the kind tall man do ? she clapped her hands .

“ what about pants ? do they make really looooong pants ? ( + )

he had half fabricated the story to appeal to the child's amusement. In reality , he did save the cat. but it scratched and bit the shit out of him. and even when he put it down, it just continued to attack. .

" I think she liked me ."

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

( teary nods , yet the thought of staying for a while wasn't something she'd want . )

but . . . daddy is going to come get me , right ? i'll be able to go home a — and see my mommy too . just like before . . !

[𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐖𝐍𝐄𝐑. @thehomeowning]

You’re going to stay here for a little while, okay? Until this mess is over. And I can tell who visitors are, so I can keep them out, and I can promise you that you aren’t one of them. Okay?

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

she was half his height .

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

once at her height , she stumbled back a bit , yet she regains her balance . then she just smiles .

“ that is the coolest . . ! do you always reach the top cupboard and shelf ? oh ——— ! ” starry beady eyed enthusiasm . “ you can ( + )

[𝙏𝙝𝙚 ‟ 𝘽𝙖𝙧 𝙂𝙪𝙮 ”. @TallGuest_]

he smiled a bit at the little one . if anything were to get that mean look off his face . . it would be kids .

He kneeled down slowly, coming eye to eye with the child. " I'm taller than most people . " he said , keeping that friendly smile on his old face.

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

save kitties from trees without needing ladders too ? daddy said that i need to be taller to ride the rides at carnivals , but i think you're able to ride all of them ! ”

she was bursting with ideas . maybe a little jealous since ( + )

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

to stand on the tips on her mary jane's . so he can hear her better , she thought .

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

the wave seemed to indicate friendliness in her book . she stepped into the room , looking up in awe . the sheer height was something she's never seen before .

“ you are taller than my daddy , mister . ” the little girl tried ( + )

[𝙏𝙝𝙚 ‟ 𝘽𝙖𝙧 𝙂𝙪𝙮 ”. @TallGuest_]

his height. . he gave her a little wave regardless .

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

“ roll the dice then you move the furniture slowly with how much number you get ! it seems fun , right ? ” she smiled , beaming .

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

“ when i go back home , i'll look for my dice . then we can play the game daddy made ! ”

oblivious , innocent . she was already formulating a plan on how to get the couch into the hallway . maybe his daddy's friend could help . ( + )

[Coat guy @N0t_A_V1sit0r]

But he wanted to reassure her. She was so young. . . He didn't want to see her spark of hope disappear like how his one died long time ago.

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

do get kicked out .

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

( nodding slowly . looking around , then she whispers . )

yeah . . because my eyes are red and . . white teeth . am i really a visitor ? i didn't mean to be one . daddy kicks out visitors . s — so i d — don't know where to go if i ( + )

[𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐖𝐍𝐄𝐑. @thehomeowning]

[ Uncle. . ? That 𝘱𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰？Guess that’s worth questioning later, no need to stress her out now. The homeowner shakes his head, kneeling down to her level. ]

No, no. . . it isn’t. Did someone tell you that? That you’re a visitor?

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

a good minute or so has passed and she came rushing back with three fluffy ear muffs , different colors .

blue , purple and brown .

“ here you go , mister ! i don't know if it . . . fits , but daddy's friend says it's okay to use . ”

[coat guy . 🧥 * @odetothecold]

hands as he waited .

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

“ i feel . . okay . i'm just waiting for my daddy to come pick me up . ”

another long siiiiip . she looked at the latter and tilted his head .

“ daddy's friend said he was renovating our home . the one next door ? i saw him get up ! ”

[Coat guy @N0t_A_V1sit0r]

“ d-don't worry i am n-not thirsty . . I-i won't take anything for n-now. . .”

He would sit down, staying close to the kid

“h-how are you f—f-feeling?. . .”

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

taking the box , punching the straw into the hole . long sip . that's nice .

“ if you say so , mister . but what will you drink then ? ” scrambles to sit on one of the chairs , feet dangling , kicking .

[Coat guy @N0t_A_V1sit0r]

If Only he could he would show a smile, sadly his nerves on his face were frozen. . .

He would hand over the box

“ i-it's fine, y-you can have them. . . I-i appreciate It anyway, t-thank you”

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

but . . . is it a visitor sign if another person tells me that i'm a visitor ?

[ᅠ * 𝚕𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞ᅠ𝓭𝖔𝖛𝖊 . @littledoch]

( a loud gasp and then she frowns . her classmate must be a visitor then ! )

okay , i trust you , mister . daddy also said i can trust you . like my uncle . you both have funny sticks that make boom boom sounds . ( + )

[𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐎𝐖𝐍𝐄𝐑. @thehomeowning]

kids work, the right thing to say. . ]

You don’t have to worry about what to look for, though. That’s my job.
