- On Christmas morning, everyone lay in their beds with eyes wide open. They all wondered what Santa had left for them under the tree. Everyone of them waited for the other one to get up and go in the living room first, like when there's an empty dance floor in a room full of people, and the music's going, but no one wants to be the first one out on that dance floor.
Hayden was the first to get up and go out into the living room to look under the tree, and see if Santa left anything for her. There was a huge tin of Barbie shoes and boots for the women of Marwencol, a Ball gown and a new bride's gown, a train, toy trucks and cars, and a stuffed animal (in which in real life, the Crime Victims woman gave to me at the trials of those five guys, so I could squeeze it and vent my rage under the podium at which I sat, so I wouldn't show the anger on my face) for Hayden. Aunt Dahlia, Ava and Angel, and Cbtengr were up already, and they all stared at Hayden as she sleepily walked towards the tree. Hayden saw the new stuffed animal for her, snatched it up and hugged it like there was no tomorrow. Aunt Dahlia told Hayden to get up and go find Deja. . . Respectfully Yours sir, Cpt. Hogancamp |
