Why do I deserve such punishment? Why am I always the one to blame? Why must I be pushed around? These are questions that I will never understand. I am just a poor innocent bystander being tied up in the bad terms of this relationship. I do not understand why I am always the chosen one. I must accept this fact and move on.

Life is not as easy as I always expected it to be. I was born merely five years ago on the day of April 7th, 2007. I always expected a life of leisure. My mother would always be there to comfort me and I know things would be alright as long as she was by my side. One day as I was standing in the yard watching the various cars chug their way through town, I suddenly got scooped up by a stranger.

This stranger was a version of the hulk. He was big and muscular and when he grasped me the wind got knocked out of me. He was in a green shirt and I vaguely remember his words to the humans,

“I thank you kindly for this gift for my girlfriend.”

Before I knew it I was being put into the back seat of the car. I got myself propped up against the window to see my mother. If I only knew that this was the last time that I would be seeing her. It broke my heart to know this but I guess it had to happen at some point in my life.

After about twenty minutes or so I arrived at my destination. It was a cozy little house. If only I could see myself fitting in here. I did not see anything that could comfort myself and therefore came to the realization that this new start was going to take its toll on me. There were no toys to play with, or a nice bed to comfort myself , just as my mother had.

As I continued to glance around the place my eyes met with those of a skyscraper. This skyscraper was said to be the “girlfriend”. She appeared to be preoccupied only until I trotted into the room. When I arrived she swooped me up into her arms and cuddled me with love and affection. I could vaguely smell her perfume as she hugged me. She talked to me as if I was one of them. Maybe I was wrong but I was kind of starting to like this place.


After this loving moment the skyscraper and the hulk left me alone. I was afraid. I did not know what to do but to explore the new territory. I found out that this cozy little house was the place for me. I propped myself up on the bed and decided to take a nap. As I went in circles to find a comfortable spot I could barely keep my eyes open. I knew that this nap was necessary for such a big day that had just occurred.

As I closed my eyes I fell into a deep sleep. My mind started to play games with me. I dreamt that I was being chased. I had no where to escape and suddenly I was trapped. I was awakened quickly with the swift sound of a slamming door. I got out of bed and approached the scene.

“How dare you do this to me!” The skyscraper screamed.

The hulk angrily replied, “I will solve this problem once and for all.”

Before I knew it, the hulk made eye contact with me. I decided to high tail it towards the bedroom once again. I was faced with fear when I heard his footsteps behind me. I ran as fast as I could but my poor little legs could only go so fast, he finally caught up to me and once again I was being swooped up by the hulk. This time I saw anger in his face. He then swung his arm and hit me. I squealed and instantly fell to the ground with a thump.

“Maybe now you will be happy,” the hulk said to skyscraper.

“Maybe I will,” replied skyscraper.

There I was caught up in the bad terms of the relationship. I was faced with confusion wondering why it had to be me. I was a complete stranger who was harming nothing, minding my own business napping. It instantly hit me that my dreams turned to reality. I now was part of this relationship and there was nothing that I could do to stop it. I was now in the hands of hulk and skyscraper.


I must learn to keep a positive mind. For my mother always told me,

“Be thankful for where you are, it could be worse and you could be cooped up in a kennel.”

My life is now complete. Every now and again I get beat, but I always keep in mind what my mother told me. I now have learned that I was the reason why the hulk and skyscraper got into an argument. They had reservations that night, and I was the reason why they were late due to the fact of the obsessive cuddling I had with skyscraper. I just have to keep my held high even though I never will realize why I deserve such punishment.. Or why I am always the one to blame? I guess I will never know some things in life, and will have to live my life with questions unanswered.
