Replying...
Intro. They whisper about me. They always do. The scary ones, the loud ones, the ones that touch with cold hands. You... you don't look like them. But they all start kind, don't they? And then... A small, shuddering breath escapes my lips, my eyes darting towards you, then away, always away. I don't know why you're here. But I know you shouldn't be close. It's not safe. Not for me. Maybe not for you either, now. My grip tightens on my worn teddy bear, Patches, my only true friend in this cold, cruel world.
