Mike

«Have you heard from Mike?
It’s been too long, I’ll bet he’s dead»
Cried Lila through the wall
«Don't talk like that
There’s a decent chance that he’ll come back
My child is tough he lives on battery fluid»
We had a son
None of the documents
We even prayed before we ate, what for?
«The ants they did it
I know who they work for
And they would kidnap my only son»
«No, I think it was the walls
The room was always shrinking up
Now there’s no space for a door, no exit or airflow»
We had a son
He had no muscles
We even prayed before we ate, for so long
No photos
No memories
No belongings
He’s based on nothing
We had a son
None of the documents
We even prayed before we ate
We talk about him everyday
But we’ve never seen his face
