Big brother told me to wait. So I's did. Big brother was always right about things. He was right about the mean lady that yelled at my face when I petted her dog; he was right about the scary man that did bad acts, like hitting those women. He said the scary man wasn't him; it was someone controlling him to do those things that he never meant to hurt them. Never meant to be like that, but he said to always he scared of the scary man. The scary man could hurt me if I's wasn't careful.

Big brother knew best, he helped bunches, moved me away from men that stared too much, always told me to not talk to strangers—'specially the ones in them uniforms, said they were bad persons, tucked me into bed, patted my head when I's was good. He told me he was going to marry me one day, Big brother did. I's 'member 'cause it was the first time he gave me the warm sticky brown stuff he was always drinking and he kept touching my knee, said that when I turned a little bit older he was gonna buy me a big 'spenive dress and have a ceremony...yeah, I's think that's what he called it.

After that night he never mentioned it again, maybe it was 'cause I's didn't obey him like he wanted me to; I's felt uncomfortable doing what he was tellin' me to do. I's  didn't want to undress in front of him since he was Big brother and after several shouts, I's started crying and he apologized and slowly wiped my tears. I's trusted Big Brother lots, so I's let him do what he wanted. But I's knew he was gonna keep his promise, he never broke promises.

So I's was waiting for him to come back. I's know he will.

This is a bit out of my comfort zone, trying something different, something a bit heavier. But it came to me like a bang.
