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..
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFjeLganpt
Elise met someone today.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGTpiYVRAa
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGbotSbigu
'Where is he?' Elise wandered before she shook her head, focusing on the dust bunny instead. She named him Charles
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgQX31mIBP
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
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCIoe960Qm
But then He shows up
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMCMJvQjKo
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
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAJXGJbU29
“Elise?” he says with raised eyebrows “What's dat?"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X1ux1ELg4
“It’s Charles,” Elise grumbles “Don’t be rude.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeXsEu8fFX
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
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qEag8F66t
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-"
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOyrauLfcu
“You killed him!”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWGU8rRWPj
His face crumples into puppy eyes. He whimpers— actual audible whimpers.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfutCWjbtNy
"Out boy!" Elise yelled, pointing in some random direction before he ran away and whimpered like a dog
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLT8wC5dgs
Later in the afternoon
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVPOLz4Hcm
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRtUSEOelN
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
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27G0wq5L51
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
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJFPQLiKtG
“Elise” he says, his feet gave off his excitement as they kept marching on the floor “I made you something.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsn05P22Am
It’s a wrinkled paper. A giant circle with floppy ears, drawn in blue crayon. Written underneath: “Charles 2.0”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJIVTvzpXv
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.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBREyfsAXw
And then she notices something on the the floor.
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PYD3ZtiKo
“Oh hey, mine’s back.”
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWmFCb73d4
Another fat dust bunny just chilling in the corner with a tiny crumb of moldy sandwich beside it
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwi74j2KP6
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 :)
