Stacey has spent her whole life listening to people tell her she is crazy and doesn’t know what’s real from fake anymore. Stacey admits that she has always had a strong imagination, but she can still tell when something isn’t right. When Stacey was little her father reprimanded her in ways many parents would look down on. Stacey had grown so terrified of her father and the lack of love he provided that she created imaginary friends. She knew that these friends were the only thing she had in the world and would be there when she fell down. What Stacey didn’t realize was that people started to question her sanity when they caught her at age fifteen talking to one of her so called friends. When people asked her who she was speaking and she told them, they automatically believed she was crazy. As Stacey grew older her imaginary friends started to disappear, but she continued to keep to herself. So, one day when she was resting in bed she started to notice the birds imprinted on her wallpaper coming to life. At first, Stacey just figured she was over tired and just seeing things. SO, she decided to open the window to get a little fresh air circulating around the room. Once Stacey returned to her bed, she began hearing chirping and the birds on the wallpaper started moving again. This time Stacey knew she wasn’t imagining this and that it was way too real to be fake. As she got out of bed and approached the wall she noticed one bird among all the others. The bird she noticed was coming out of the wall much faster than all the others. She watched as the bird removed its last wing from the wall and flew out the window. She knew that no one would ever believe her, but it didn’t matter because she knew it was real.
