it was my mom's birthday. my nieces and i started putting out the christmas presents. when we were halfway done, we realized it wasn't christmas, but only my mom's birthday, so we started putting them back. some of them were shaped like giant gingerbread men, and wrapped in the shape of gingerbread men. when i went back downstairs, my sister had taken the tree. everything. including all the ornaments, the little rug that goes under it, and everything. i asked her why she took it, and she said she just wanted it. my mom let her take it. i was so disappointed, because now for christmas, all the presents just had to sit on a bare patch of floor.

if i remember all my dreams,
the time when i was sleeping
hasn't just disappeared

my parents and i were in the far north. everything was cold, cold. there wasn't any food left. i agreed that they could cook me and eat me. i saw a guy whose head had been cooked and i decided i didn't want them to cook me and eat me after all. i tried to get my parents to come with me and leave to try and find food, but it was really hard for them to walk because their legs were being cooked slowly, and their muscles didn't work anymore. it was really scary and sad.
