The Small Angry Being by Perla Morillo
Hi yea. You there, yes you, the one who’s reading this story about me!! I am Molly. Ummm people see me as a mean person, umm, I am short but I don’t know why sometimes I throw things at people and then laugh at them. So they see me as a very aggravating person but I have a high curiosity about things. My mother Lola says that being very nosy can get me into problems at times and, well, she’s right because I should mind my business at all times. But it’s, like, me being Curious George. For those of you who don’t know, Curious George is a kid show. It’s about a man with a yellow hat that has a monkey; they are best friends. There are times where George gets curious about things, like things that go around the neighborhood. But enough about that. Back to my mother—she is a very hard-working and determined person.

At first it was scared, but then I said, “No, no, don’t be scared, little creature.” I don’t know if it understood me, but it came to me and sniffed my hand and it put its head to mine. As you guys know, I am short so things aren’t complicated for me when it comes to little things. When I saw this creature I had to go back to my room because my uncle woke up. So I ran to my bedroom and woke my sister up and I told her I saw it. But she didn’t believe me, so I kept insisting she come to check it out. Sadly, she came with me and she didn’t see anything, so, obviously, she thought I was crazy. The next day and it was like nothing. I went to school and I saw some kid named Ziar getting bullied and picked on and usually, I am the class bully. But when I saw him getting bullied I got very mad and stopped everything. It was like the unicorn changed me from one day to another. However, everything went to normal, and when I got home I saw my dog and my cat arguing. How can I put this? I would hear them arguing, and angry but people thought I was crazy or I was sick. They 333
