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..
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d5xdUnw1d
Elise met someone today.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8mSDeurKh
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiwH1qkiXh
'Where is he?' Elise wandered before she shook her head, focusing on the dust bunny instead. She named him Charles
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF0NM3zSTF
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
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc8nm0vMpn
But then He shows up
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZkAaCNXd
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
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi7ey5gaqn
“Elise?” he says with raised eyebrows “What's dat?"
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDI9R0ciRD
“It’s Charles,” Elise grumbles “Don’t be rude.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiUx2bmWYy
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
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcOzlvYyES
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-"
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR8thCxrDo
“You killed him!”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevmkgjdmnI
His face crumples into puppy eyes. He whimpers— actual audible whimpers.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxb1SR1iY2
"Out boy!" Elise yelled, pointing in some random direction before he ran away and whimpered like a dog
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6tcIq1rEu
Later in the afternoon
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84yLiCVZk3
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSoZDQsIh5
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
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR35Vdzejjj
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
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkheDowZe2A
“Elise” he says, his feet gave off his excitement as they kept marching on the floor “I made you something.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGv8aNmsiM
It’s a wrinkled paper. A giant circle with floppy ears, drawn in blue crayon. Written underneath: “Charles 2.0”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZqTr8wUoo
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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgDYLjaPfg
And then she notices something on the the floor.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxUOw0EGQb
“Oh hey, mine’s back.”
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhOGDtIEkL
Another fat dust bunny just chilling in the corner with a tiny crumb of moldy sandwich beside it
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zqyCZJtbA
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 :)
