Michael Imaginary Friend :: short story

Michael Fritz was a very lonely boy. His parents died in a nasty car crash when he was two, so Michael was sent to live with his Aunt and Uncle. Michael was known as a shut in, and never would he go play with kids his own age. He was content with the inside of his home and that is where he stayed. While Michel’s Aunt and Uncle were at work his nanny, Kendra, would watch after him and take him to the park. On a day that seemed to be as normal as the rest something very abnormal happened. Michael was taken to the park, and like his usual routine; he went off and played by himself. A few hours later Michael went to Kendra, and told her he was ready to go. She agreed and they started to the car. â€Å"Miss Kendra, can I bring a friend home with me,† stated Michael. Kendra replied, â€Å"I can’t see a reason why not.† Kendra looked around for Michael’s friend, but she did not see him anywhere. â€Å"He’s right here,† stated Michael, â€Å"he is very excited to come home with us.† It was at that moment that Kendra realized that Michael had an imaginary friend. She was fine with the idea and thought the concept of an imaginary friend was perfectly normal. â€Å"Oh, now I see your friend. What is his name?† the nanny said. â€Å"His name is Jonny, and he is one year older than me.† The whole car ride home Michael was talking to his imaginary friend. Kendra did not mind; she was acutely very happy to know that Michael made some type of friend. When Michael’s aunt came home that night the Kendra pulled her to the side and told her about Jonny. Kendra also told her that Michael began using very bad words when he spoke with Jonny. Sarah (Michael’s aunt) was very surprised that Michael would ever use swear words, and frankly did not believe what the nanny was telling her. Later that night Sarah pulled Michael to the side and asked him about his friend. Sarah’s first words were, â€Å"Kendra told me that you have a new imaginary friend.† â€Å"He’s not imaginary he is really!† Michael answered angrily. â€Å"Oh, Ok,† Sarah replied sarcastically. â€Å"Well does your friend have a name?† â€Å"Yes, his name is Jonny.† Sarah asked, â€Å"Kendra has brought to my attention that some choice words has slipped out of your mouth.
