Annie was a little girl. She loved 

playing with her family and having fun.

Annie had so much fun with her 

mommy and daddy. Every day was a 

new adventure. Annie thought her 

world could never be more perfect. 

She loved the way things were, and 

she looked to the stars every night 

asking that they would never 

change.

But some very strange things...

Began to happen to Annie's mommy.

Annie's mommy didn't want to play anymore. 

She stopped getting out of bed in the morning, 

and she got mad at Annie a lot for things she 

didn't even do. Annie's parents kept fighting a 

lot, and Annie kept seeing her mommy cry all 

the time.

Annie's mommy began to talk about bad 

people who were coming after her one day. 

"Daddy, what's wrong with mommy?", Annie 

asked.

"Annie, mommy isn't feeling good right now." 

"But why?"

Annie's father just looked away, a grave 

expression on his face.

Annie tried so hard to figure out what had 

happened to her mommy. She loved her so 

much but it was like she wasn't there 

anymore. It was like she was a completely 

different person.

"Daddy, did mommy get taken over by an 

alien?" Annie asked.

Annie's mommy had been to see the doctor a 

lot lately, and it occurred to Annie that maybe 

they were trying to get an alien out of her.

"No sweetie, mommy just has a cold that's 

making her act strange.", replied Annie's 

father. 

Annie's watched her mommy bring home a 

bottle of pills one day.

Soon Annie noticed her mommy was beginning 

to act normal again.

Annie saw a booklet on the table and slowly 

read the words on the cover aloud. "De-pres-

sion"

Annie took the booklet to her daddy and asked 

him what it was and why mommy had brought 

it home from the doctor with her.

"It's a sickness that your mommy has, but the 

doctors made it all better.", Annie's dad 

attempted to explain to her.

Annie smiled.

"So they really made mommy better? 

Mommy's going to be okay now?"

"Yes Annie, mommy's all better now."

Annie's world seemed to be back to normal 

now, and it felt like she had her mommy back 

again.
