The Blank Paper

A blank paper is staring at me
The blank paper is still staring at me
Waiting for my pen to move
So, I draw a pair of eyes
Now, the eyes are staring at me
Batting their black, wriggly eyelashes
I stare back, looking into the deep black ink of eyes
What do you want? I asked
The page is silent but the eyes are staring at me, blinking and batting
So, I draw a line…a nose I supposed…with a dot at its side
Now, the paper is blowing air!
It flew!
Up and down! Up and down again
Goddamnit paper! Stay still!!
I’m playing catch and run with a paper
Boy, I look crazy!
Finally, the paper is in my hand, still blowing air through the dot
Can’t let go of my hand, I thought
The eyes are now looking at me with anger
It looks angry because the eyebrows is in a shape of V
Don’t run away!!!
Why do you want to run away?
The paper just keeps on blinking
Blinking and staring and batting
Now, puffing
So, I draw a mouth, with sharp teeth like Dracula
So, tell me now paper, why do you want to run away?
The paper stares back at me and you know what it did?
The freaky paper, freaking bite my arm and wouldn’t let it go!
Oh, my! It is sucking my blood!
I twist and turn, and wriggle but it is like a leech upon a prey!
What should I do? I ponder
So, I grab a lighter and lit it up!
Hooray!! Paper burns!! Fast it burns turn to ashes and no more…
I’ve lost a blank paper…
Hmmm…it’s ok, I just get another one, but with no fangs this time!
Hey, I’m feeling sleepy…sleepy and dizzy…
The bloody paper took my blood away…
Sleepy…I guess I will sleep now…
After a while,
I open my eyes but I can’t see!
My body feels light like a paper!
Curse you, bloody paper, sucking me dry!!
Now, I’m dry and light as you were!
Then, come another little girl, holding me with a black ink pen
What should I draw? She asked, while staring at me
So, I stare her back…
