Happy Birthday
By Li Lin

You said you wanted a happy birthday, to be away from all your problems forever. Baby girl, you know I’ll always give you what you want.

Baby boy, I know you will. I love you.

Girl, I love you too.

Wait, what are you doing?

You’ve been so sad for the past few days. I hate seeing you sad…

W… What?

Cupcake, don’t cry. Why’re you crying?

Go away!

I’ll give you what you want. I’ll make you happy, baby. Don’t scream, I’m taking your problems away.

No! Go aw-

Happy Birthday, sweetheart. Now you won’t have anymore problems.

…

I’m sorry for staining your floor with blood. I promise to clean it up.

…

Byebye, baby.
