Everyone Treats Me Like I'm Fragile

"I made it! I made it! Woohoo! Boo to you Mr Davil!"

Hi, I'm Phoenix. Ever since I was a little girl I admired my dad because he worked at the US Space force. Whenever he had time, we would look up at stars using his telescope

"Look that's Mars right there. Did you know I went to Mars once and saw a real life alien? It had green skin and really long fingers!"

"Wooow! I want to go to Mars too!"

"You will my love. You will go even beyond that."

Dad was my childhood inspiration, but mom, who was a housewife, always scolded dad when he told me alien stories.

"You need to stop talking all that garbage to her about aliens, kids will laugh at her in school"

Sadly, dad kept harping about aliens even at his workplace, and without proof to backup his claims, dad was assumed crazy and fired. If only they knew how wrong they were. Things went sour between my parents after that. They wouldn't even talk to each other directly anymore even if they were in the same room.

"Phoenix, can you ask your mom why there's no food for me?"

"Mom why is there no food for dad?"
