Hey there my jokers and menaces to society, this is your bug shot author, bug shot because the flies love me. I'm still here, I'm still alive and not depressed. Many days cough weeks have passed since I've actually updated on this story or literally anything, life has been busy (not really) and I've been dealing with a lot (daddy issues) especially with a lack of motivation (laziness). I'm still writing, still trying. I'm not abandoning in this story because I genuinely like these characters, I want to explore this world with you, my viewers, you're a viewer yes I'm talking about you

Now here's a short story from me..
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a1626Z2Hy
Elise met someone today.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetGsCajGTD
Well, something. A dust bunny. A fat, fluffy one hiding under her crusty couch. Something about it.. called to her, maybe because of how it trembled in the light or swayed at even the slightest breeze, maybe because she hasn't spoken to anyone else in days, not even.. him.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxeIRD4ShT
'Where is he?' Elise wandered before she shook her head, focusing on the dust bunny instead. She named him Charles
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh8GuR87jE
Now she’s outside, walking down the street in her frayed socks, holding Charles in both hands like a newborn. She whispers sweet things to him. Tells him about the people she hates. Charles listens and stays silent all the way
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7T3xCgFUP
But then He shows up
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LBFnB9ukg
He strides right at Elise with a wide, cheery smile, he looked like he was about to pounce on her till he stopped, spotting the fat dust bunny in her hands
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbLJLmCxZD
“Elise?” he says with raised eyebrows “What's dat?"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wOFMqp6sr
“It’s Charles,” Elise grumbles “Don’t be rude.”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QmqaqZ8Da
With one braincell in tact, without even thinking— He blows. Just one puff of breath. Charles, the ancient dust bunny, is instantly carried away by the breeze. He sails off like a tumbleweed, now going to dust bunny heaven. Elise stares at her empty hands in silent horror.

“You killed him." Elise raised her head and glared at him
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNedZyOL8
He stares at her, shocked "I-i didn't mean to, he just looked really funny like- like some dust that ate too much and I just-"
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR5hBaN2ZZ
“You killed him!”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRwS8cp1wa
His face crumples into puppy eyes. He whimpers— actual audible whimpers.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSR6YU2jU6
"Out boy!" Elise yelled, pointing in some random direction before he ran away and whimpered like a dog
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutBzooFKML
Later in the afternoon
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAIttFtSiv
Elise was alone in her bedroom. Sitting on her bed, staring at nothing but the wall, no matter how hard she tried, her mind kept wandering back to Charles, the life they could've raised together.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wkll4EWOh
Elise closed her eyes, engulfed by images of her and Charles growing up together. Charles in kindergarten, making literal trash friends all the way to Charles in college, studying art and literature, he would be the next da vinci. Elise opened her eyes, back in her bedroom. It was all fake anyways. She sighed and hugged herself
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2na2XqFZg2
Till she heard a knock on her window, it was him with a beaming, terrifying smile. Elise groaned and opened up the window, letting him drop in before immediately straightening up
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l6CpyGxMb
“Elise” he says, his feet gave off his excitement as they kept marching on the floor “I made you something.”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkuRkoczI
It’s a wrinkled paper. A giant circle with floppy ears, drawn in blue crayon. Written underneath: “Charles 2.0”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtcbK1CHXH
Elise stares before her lips started to curve, she was.. smiling, even just a tiny bit. She held onto the paper, clutching it against her chest, her baby.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE7zwnlLas
And then she notices something on the the floor.
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxmmnjwEyY
“Oh hey, mine’s back.”
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByxlBkN8z8
Another fat dust bunny just chilling in the corner with a tiny crumb of moldy sandwich beside it
38Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPRGCvZIeM
Jasper glances back at the fat dust bunny and Elise, all this effort for nothing..

I said what I wanted to say in the start. Of course this does feel a little off, it's not as ridiculous or polished as previous chapters because of course special chapter short story. I'm really happy that this story gained attention and reads despite me being away for so damn long. Have a good day, menaces :)
