Why, why, why … I feel that someone or something will force its way into my house and kidnap me. It's just a thought, I know. It's probably because I deserve to be taken away and tortured. I am such a waste of air and atoms. I deserve to be broken like those mannequins, and I must bear the pain with a calm expression. I must not burden other people. The doors are locked; nobody seems to be outside. But the image of those mannequins, a female mannequin … her face is slowly being deformed by a big, strong hand. *Sobs* I can't stand this anymore.
