    Yk I have this wild imagination. I can create scenarios where I'm a quiet and nonchalant kid who is a killer. The other one is a quiet kid also but who loves killing drama or have brutal scenarios who also killed the cannibal and eat the people who find me because because I'm missing and my family will give a big reward where attract the strangers. Hey!! I'm not killer ok, I'm just creating scenarios cuz what if I'm become and actress. I want to write a story but I'm not really good at it.
