Mother's Day

I went back to Dad's doll repair shop today. It stunk badly. The man's corpse looked like a dog had gotten to it or something.

I went behind the counter and opened a secret compartment underneath the cash register. I saw Dad open it once; he never found out I knew. Now he'll never know.

I never did know what he was hiding in there. I was thinking this morning about what the man was doing. If he worked for the Queen, why would he be stealing money? She doesn't need money. So I figured he was looking for whatever was important enough to make a secret compartment and never tell anyone.

Anyway, I found the object. I thought it would be a great gift to give the Queen for Mother's Day, since she's the closest thing I have.

That is, until I got home and saw her talking to Pirate Percy and the Skin-Taker in more or less a friendly tone. They departed and I quietly sneaked to my bedroom. I hid the object and never gave it to her. I'm not even saying what it is in case she decides to read this.

I'm beginning to doubt her. She has made me commit murder. I justified that by telling myself he was a petty criminal. But now it turns out she likely lied about her relationship to the Skin-Taker and my parents' deaths!!!
