Light. Oh how I do not evny the light. She must stay bright, and be a shining beacon for everyone she meets. She must always maintain her bright personality and stay that way until nobody is around. That’s why I dont mind being the darkness. I prefer staying to the shadows, hiding things that do not need to be seen. I lurk in corners and watch what happens from there. I’m comfortable in my realm. Perhaps she feels this way herself. Maybe she cannot imagine how I stay in my hiding places, how I lurk behind the items she passes. It could be that she thinks I am sad here, and that I wish to be like her. I don’t wish to be her. But I do wish that I could touch her, just once.

Mina always felt as if she was given the wrong purpose in life. She has the purpose of helping children in their journey to learn how to read. In other words, she is a school librarian. Though she enjoys books, Mina is not fond of children, at all. Why couldn’t she be a regular librarian, with the occasional child she helps? She would much rather prefer that. Although, when she sees kids light up as they pronounce a big word without help, or listens to them excitedly tell her about the book they just finished, she understands how important her purpose is.
