If ever alive. Gray fur grew into a shape as if a cloud of smoke covered their wall. Also, it had several horns and the man thought it smelled. The doctor person assured the couple the shape should have never been born, but after a frantic discussion, he admitted it could be brought back. \u201cGenuine tears,\u201d the doctor person prescribed. \u201cAlthough, the tears will need to come from both of you.\u201d The couple agreed, and set about next week making a schedule for who would cry when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nfirst day was productive, as there were many reasons to cry. The woman would\ncry in the corner about the man, and the man would cry in the corner about the\nwoman. The next day was more difficult, but the woman managed to find something\nsad in the weather. The man had it easier since he was berated that day at\nwork. For the days that followed, both needed help since they could not cry\nalone. The woman would tear up about subjects such as the childhood dog, which\nthe man knew she never cared for but would not interrupt since his turn was\nnext. The couple would spend their nights wondering which subjects were most\nsuitable for care, which would leave a better impression while also not reveal\ntoo much. Parents was a favorite, since a sour childhood made their lives look\nbetter by comparison. This continued, until finally, on a particularly good day\nof acting, the thing in the corner spoke up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStop!\nDo you two have anything in common other than a love for fiction?\u201d After which,\nthe thing jumps out the bedroom window and landed several stories below. The\ncouple, after many weeks of tears, found themselves quite relieved to be rid of\nit. Not that they let the other know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angel Baeza has transferred schools too many times to be good.
