Everyone who knows me knows I’m happy. I laugh and joke around with my friends. Whenever I see someone sad, I try to turn their frown upside down. Everyone who knows me knows I’m helpful. I teach and guide others. I hold the door open, Even when my hands are full. Everyone who knows me …
“Help! Help!” “Is there anyone out there to hear me?” My plan to build the perfect version of me has backfired. I just wanted to make myself smarter and prettier and happier.

I wake up with a groan. My eyelids are heavy and darkness surrounds me. I hear only the dripping of water. What is going on? I try to turn, but I can’t move. Finally, I crack my eyes open, but I see nothing. Suddenly, I begin to hear giggles. I look the best I can …
