Kitty Litter was texting Shadow to see how she was doing.  Shadow texted her back,” not good.” “What’s wrong?” Can we video-talk?” said Kitty Litter.  “Sure,” said Shadow. “I will call you back via video,” said Kitty Litter.

Both disconnected the call and Kitty Litter called Shadow via video chat. “Hello, Shadow. Why are you not doing good?” said Kitty Litter.  “I keep having bad dreams.  I dreamed my mother had tied me up and tortured me by cutting my paw and tickling me,” said Shadow. Kitty Litter got quiet and did not respond. She even left the video chat for a brief second. “Have you finished reading chapter 5-8 in the 12X12?” said Kitty Litter when she finally spoke, “Did you not hear what I told you,” said Shadow. “Have you read the chapters yet, said Kitty Litter, repeating herself.  Shadow took in a big breath and said no. “How am I supposed to do step six when I don’t know my character defects yet,”  We never went over those,” said Shadow. . Well, there is a victimization role you play and not speaking up with your voice. For another.  We will go over your defects after you write your harm list,” said Kitty Litter, clearly annoyed with Shadow. “Oh, OK, doesn’t make sense, but OK,” said Shadow. “About my dream, how do I use the steps to resolve the conflict I know feel,” said Shadow. “I gave you a prayer to say before you go to sleep.  Are you saying this prayer?” said Kitty Litter.  “When I remember, said Shadow. “Well, you must say it every night,” said Kitty Litter. “Ok, said Shadow.  “When will you be done reading the chapters I told you to read?” said Kitty Litter. “I’ll try to finish it by the end of the week,” said Shadow.  “Very good.  We will talk then,” said Kitty Litter.  “Have a good night.  I have to go into work,” said Kitty Litter.  “OK, see you at the end of the week,” said Shadow and disconnected the video call….
