Good Night, Mommy and Daddy

Summary

Eight-year-old Fiona is dying of cancer. To stop her poor family from wasting money on useless treatments, she becomes the villain—flushing her medicine, stealing their savings, screaming that she hates them. Her father finally gives up on her. On the last day of her life, she breaks down in a bloody bathroom: she only wanted them to hate her, so losing her wouldn't hurt so much. She dies that night. In the underworld, she chooses to return as a cat for three years, watching over her family. She goes home one last time.
