Prologue

The cover of the diary was a riot of colours. One would be able to find any colour on the little diary which fit snugly in a palm, if it existed in the colour spectrum. The small sequins that decorated the diary and the big sticker of a cartoon character sitting right in the middle made it impossible to not guess the age and if, a person was to exercise stereotypy, the gender of the owner of the diary. They wouldn't be wrong if they said it belonged to a little girl. A little toddler who was just starting to cross into the preschool age.

Entry 1:

It depicted a stick figure depiction of a father and a daughter (the owner herself, as was pointed out by an arrow and messy writing), holding a cone of ice-cream. The words "happy" and "yummy" could be deciphered if one looked closely enough.

Entry 3:

This one also contained the picture of the above-mentioned duo, this time surrounded by trees (identified by green spirals over brown sticks). It also contained a swing. The smaller stick figure was seated on it, the taller one behind it. "PARK" was written in block letters.

Entry 9:

Same characters again with the addition of three more (one of them her size), this time the setting seemed to be inside a house. The father-daughter pair stood in front of a two-tiered cake with five bold candles over it. Lots of streamers and balloons could be seen, making it the most colourful picture till now. "Happy Birthday" was written with various colours for each letter and in shaky hands, but steadier than the previous entries.

Entry 15:

This one depicts a black dog, the only one with the picture of a pet, playing chase with the smaller stick figure. The taller one is absent and the word "BLACKIE" was scrawled in big letters.

Entry 20:

Home again, but this time they seem to be having a relaxing evening (as indicated by the stars and darker background), with cakes and books. The large smile on their face stood out the most.

Entry 21:

Large buildings, skyscrapers and cars were the topic of this one, with "My Dream" scrawled in neater manner. The vehicles were notably different from the ones she had ever seen.

Entry 29:

Faces different than drawn previously shows up, with the caption of "Dream people".

Entry 36:

Shows a person lying down, with a remarkable amount of red pouring around it.

That seemed to be the last entry, but if one checked closely enough, they would be able to see remnants of torn pages. Looking more carefully, the imprint of the words This is stupid might be visible.

One wouldn't be wrong if they said that the diary belonged to a small kid.

But they wouldn't be completely right, either.
