A little girl, about the age of six, comes home from school to find her father crying, his face in his hands.
“Daddy?” she asks, her little voice so soft.
“Yes, baby?” he replies with the smell of whiskey on his breath.
“Why are you crying Daddy?” the adorable, bright blue eyes stared up at him.
“Because I feel absolute pain within me, baby.” he looked at her, removing his face from his dirtied, cold hands.
“What’s pain, Daddy?”
“It’s something that anguishes my soul, baby.”
“What’s anguish, Daddy?”
“Something that sorrows me so, baby.”
“What’s sorrow, Daddy?”
“Sorrow is sadness, babe.”
“Why are you sad?”
“Because your mommy is gone.” he whispered with a horse voice.
“Where did mommy go?” she asked, her voice getting higher, and you could tell she was about to cry.
“In the ground, baby.”
“Why’s she there? What did mommy need in the ground?”
“Nothing. She’s just there, and will always be.”
“But… What did mommy do to be in the ground forever?”
“She stole from us, cheated on me, and was going to leave anyway.” he uttered out angrily, but his eyes still looked calm and nice. “But now she’ll always be near us, in the ground, baby.”
The small girl looked confused. “But can she still talk to me? Sing to me? Read to me if she’s in the ground?”
“No, I’m sorry baby. But I can do those things for you.”
“I want mommy to do it!” tears welled in the girl’s eyes.
The man just sighed as the little girl ran to her room, and the rest of the whiskey slid down his throat as he grabbed a thick rope and went to he and his wife’s room.
“Daddy?” the little girl called just an hour later. “Daddy, I’m hungry. Where are you?”
She pushed open the door to her father’s bedroom and looked at him.
“Daddy? Why are you hanging in the air like that? Daddy?! Please come down! Daddy! I’ll let you talk to me, sing to me, read to me! Just come down please!” she cried and tugged at her father’s pant leg.  
I... I don't know what made me write this ^^; I seriously don't... but I like it. Not the best thing that's ever gone through my mind, but It's something I've never particually written about before, and I just... wrote ^^; I dunno. lol I kind of find it annoying that I made her ask so many questions, but hell people, she six! Of course... I was comtemplating five, but decided on six... Five seems to... young I guess. Oh well. Hope you like!
