Betsy

I feel really sad when I stare back at Sana’s message.

How may I assist you, Betsy Blake? Do you need help downloading the latest software update?

I thought she might know who I am. Thought she might know the girl who has been in the newspapers and on the news on the TV. It takes me ages to type back to her.

Do you know me?

I stare at the screen. I can’t wait to see what she says back. I tap my fingers against the back of the kindle until her reply comes up on the screen.

I’m sorry. Would you like help downloading the latest software update?

Ah fuck, no, no, no!

‘I don’t think everybody watches the TV and the newspapers,’ I say to Bozy. Bozy just stares back at me. I’m not sure what I should type back to Sana. I hang my fingers over the letters for ages. Hitting buttons and then deleting them.

Betsy; are you still available to chat? Here are the details for the software update.

I try to read everything Sana has sent me but it doesn’t make sense. It is really long. Really, really long.

Betsy, you haven’t answered in a long time. Please get in touch with our representatives on 1800 852 852 should you need further assistance.

’No, no, no,’ I shout as I type at the keyboard and hit send.

Hkjsuy sihkh

I just wanted to type something. Anything to let her know I’m still here. ‘Oh, Bozy,’ I say, climbing back up to my bed beside him. I keep the Kindle on my lap.

Betsy - please call the helpline. Goodbye. And Happy Christmas.

The Kindle screen goes blank. I let out a big, big breath and then cuddle into Bozy. I feel really sad that Sana has gone. But I also feel really excited. That was the first time I’ve spoken to anybody other than Dod since I was four. I decide I must practice how to type, in case that message thingy ever comes up again. Next time, I’ll be ready.

I press at the screen of my Kindle. The box that Sana’s words were on is gone. There are just words saying:

Software update needed.

It won’t let me go to the page where all my books are. This Christmas is getting worse and worse. I have nothing to do. I crawl out of bed, walk over to my book shelves and look at all the books on there.

‘No. Too baby-ish. No. Too baby-ish. No. No. No. No. Hmmmmm. No.’

I keep saying no at every book I see. Then I let out a really big yawn and when it is finished I feel tears in my eyes. I fall down onto my knees and let the tears pour out. Then I bang my hands onto the floor. I just want to get all of the sadness out. Maybe if I get it all out, I might feel happy again. I was stupid robbing Dod’s newspaper articles. Because I was the happiest girl I ever was when he used to let me upstairs to look out his window.
