Morty’s Marvellous Monday
Mondays can sometimes be miserable. Sometimes it’s the weather, or choosing what coat to wear, or what to eat for breakfast. One seemingly ordinary, possibly miserable, Monday, all that changes for Morty.
While they were sleeping, his mom had a wonderful dream time visit by a teeny tiny sweet elf named Edgar. He has big indigo eyes and a strange yellow coat and brings delightful news as he tells Morty’s mum that Monday is going to be the opposite of miserable. He also shows her how to use magic dust!
When Morty wakes up a little miserable, his mum can’t wait to tell him about her dream time visitor and the exciting news Edgar shared! She even gets an opportunity to practice using magic dust when Morty falls and hurts his knee. And so Marvellous Monday kicks off.
Morty can’t believe what his mum is telling him. He is so excited to get going and see what other surprises lie in store for the day! And, luckily for Morty, what may have been a miserable Monday turns out to be the most marvellous Monday ever! As he’s drifting off to sleep that night, his mum winks and says, “Who knows, tomorrow may be a Terrific Tuesday!”

Hunting for the Truth
As a child I was always told everyone has a purpose in life. A reason for being alive.
As a women I was told to sit down. Speak when spoken to. Listen to your elders. Dress like this, act like this. Don’t be different. Don’t be basic. Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.
I am so sick and tired of men thinking they have all the power. They created me. They turned me into this. The CIA took everything from me. They created me. Why?
Why me? Why break me? Why experiment on me? Why experiment on children, broken little children? Why turn us into a killing machine and send us all over the world to do their dirty work?
What is our purpose in life? What is mine?
Am I meant to ‘serve and protect’ the country who destroyed me and turned me into their perfect little experiment? Or maybe my purpose is to stop the cycle, to stop them doing this over and over again, stop them ruining the lives of other children.
Maybe my purpose is watching the world the CIA created burn down around them as they run and fight to survive. Oh, how the roles are reversed.
