The Hardest Childhood Mission

Why was pretending to be asleep the hardest mission of my childhood? I'm in bed,

Roblox still playing in my brain. Then I hear footsteps. Instant panic. Eyes shut,

breathing slow. I'm laying there like I've been asleep since 2009. Door creaks.

The light turns on. I do not move. My nose itches. My leg wants to

twitch. My heart is doing backflips. She says my name. Silence.

I'm winning. Then she goes, "You want food?" Bro. I sat up like I

just respawned.
