I Never Wished to Be Big

Every morning, I wake up wondering why anyone thought it would be a good idea to let me live alone and take care of myself and a cat on my own. And I wonder what I did the day before to make my body ache the way it does. Then I look in the mirror and I’m surprised to see an adult body there.

I never wished to be big. When I was a kid, adults seemed too big and smelly. They were angry and sad too often, yelling at each other and the kids and pets around them. They complained about their jobs and not having enough money. Why would anyone want that?

I never wished to be big, but it happened anyway, so I’m making the best of it, But it’s still a weird moment every morning.
