January, prompt #3: tormented statue
Earlier today Papa noticed Sylvia was getting restless and asked Arden and I to take her outside. I noticed the look of disgust on Arden's face so I suggested I take her out myself. While we were walking to the door, I gave Arden a disappointing look. I hope he didn't see it.

Not even five minutes after we left Whitefern, Sylvia bolted from my grasp and ran off. Scared, I quickly ran after her. If anything happened to Sylvia, I don't know what I'd do with myself.

After finally catching up to her, out of breath, I noticed something in the corner of my eye. It was some sort of statue. Not a very happy one. In fact, she kind of reminded me of Sylvia. All closed up in one place, not able to move or live. I couldn't stare at it long enough, unfortunately, because in mere seconds Sylvia was tugging at my arm, urging me to come with her. I finally gave in.

While we were walking (I had finally managed to get Sylvia to cooperate), I kept thinking about the statue. Did I really see Sylvia in that depressed state, or was I really hiding from the truth - that it was me, not her who was the statue?
