'Kill monsters, eat meat' 'I mean, Kill monsters, save lives. Got it.' 'Tut, I could've sworn that the first one sounded better.' She wasn't a girl looking for freedom or self-righteous liberation by a hero, or whatever shit a girl who suffered for almost all her life would crave. -the shit of a life she was living was horrible, but it was bearable, and so she got used to it. Rather, instead of freedom, what this little missy wanted was money. Lots and lots of them so she never has to worry about the next day. Money - bountiful enough that when she has to spend, she doesn't need to look back or calculate her assets to see how much she has left. Money - bountiful enough to get all the fried chicken she could ever dream of. Yeah, you heard it, fried chicken. For those who did not have money to spare leisurely, getting fried chicken was like a pipe dream to them and she had been one of those unfortunate souls. A comfortable roof above her head and no worries as to when she would get ordered around to steal. No worries about when she would get her next meal-- That was her liberation. And she got it. Just that, she got it most absurdly. Awakened! Those were the people ruling the world, alongside beastly and deadly monsters who threatened the safety of average human beings. And those awakened call the shots. Alice never dreamed she would one day be awakened, and compared to others with their game-like system displaying their attributes and strength; she had a full-grown man whom only she could hear, watching her back at every turn and telling her what to do. He was kinda a pain in the ass but she couldn't complain. It was this gift he had bestowed on her that made her the most powerful Awakened there was with stats that even S-class awakeneds couldn't compare to. She was the boss, now. Mwa-hahahahaha. But life didn't go as easy and leisurely as she planned. With great power comes great responsibility, right? Well, in her case with great power comes great hunger. She couldn't go a moment without getting hungry and her stomach had become a bottomless pit. And to get food, she needed money, and to get money, she had to hunt monsters. The monsters plagued humanity, causing catastrophes and taking lives mercilessly. Those monsters, as scary as they may be, were her target and she had to face them head-on. The bigger the monsters the more money she would gain. Yeah, that was the plan, but... This guy acting as her system seemed to have other plans, putting her at the forefront of 'justice' and having her clean the mess he somewhat created. 'Ugh, I can already sense a shadow of foreboding. Someone, please tell me I'm not acting the main character role. I just want to eat, okay?'

Have you ever wonder what it would be like to be strong, stronger than anyone else, that people would be glad to lick your boot and you vow to no one except yourself. "Well, I wonder that as well, But it's nothing but a dream of fiction that I Have deluded myself to believe every time, I'm no hero." "Everyone has a mask and everyone has a puppet, my puppet is just weak because I am weak." "The weakness of them all, They laugh an push me around with their puppets but one day I will get revenge." "If you're like me, You want vengeance, You want justice and don't care about the cost, so you and I are leaf's from the same tree." "I will make them all pay I promised you that my puppet and I will fight until the sweet-bitter end."

When my daughter was young she owned many stuffed animals, two of them were her favorites, one named Sunshine Bunny and another named Pink Bunny. This is a collection of stories about Floppy Ears that I started writing for her when she was about 3 years old. The originals had hand drawn pictures as well. Each story is short and simple, hopefully with a positive or fun message. It allowed me to read her one or two before bed in the evening. Many of the ideas came from the things she would do and say with her own stuffed animals. Some of these are the original stories without the pictures which were written over 20 years ago, some are newer that I added just for fun. This collection my not fit in any of the categories but if you have a kid, they might enjoy listening to them. The idea is to get them thinking, whether it is about a word they don't understand or how they would handle the situation. Have fun with it.
