Brother

by Kat Gál


The prototype wasn’t good
It was damaged from the start
A new version was created
Six years later
A better version of me
A boy this time around
Fewer emotions
More confidence
More freedom
Fewer expectations
More independence
Less trauma
Less drama
A better life
Yet I still gave him my Red Bear
Because that’s love
