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..
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6LiKoBp6k
Elise met someone today.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEiCKAgaE9
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF84iyE8s8h
'Where is he?' Elise wandered before she shook her head, focusing on the dust bunny instead. She named him Charles
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAsdOt3spk
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
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql9vcMCm4W
But then He shows up
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Za0ydlBxC
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
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXoxlliPLI
“Elise?” he says with raised eyebrows “What's dat?"
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nl6XQWvCO
“It’s Charles,” Elise grumbles “Don’t be rude.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU1btPQLQi
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4NpPo2uG3
“You killed him." Elise raised her head and glared at him
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREqISBbsXZ
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-"
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQVxuyQ1gf
“You killed him!”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUe01Uu1yW
His face crumples into puppy eyes. He whimpers— actual audible whimpers.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74cyaJyGh2
"Out boy!" Elise yelled, pointing in some random direction before he ran away and whimpered like a dog
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95O2XHfgzj
Later in the afternoon
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSwHYfMFJZ
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgq4mm1ZeD
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
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG36G5JEYE
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
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcZrZ5WmOh
“Elise” he says, his feet gave off his excitement as they kept marching on the floor “I made you something.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3dOWBpB5C
It’s a wrinkled paper. A giant circle with floppy ears, drawn in blue crayon. Written underneath: “Charles 2.0”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhXDOhWz0k
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.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmZQh1iD79
And then she notices something on the the floor.
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQrEo8lCX7
“Oh hey, mine’s back.”
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eM4dKiHt6
Another fat dust bunny just chilling in the corner with a tiny crumb of moldy sandwich beside it
82Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvpEbo15oS
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 :)
