Mot the Intrusive Thought Bot

All of a sudden, my world came crashing down. All of the weeks of rules, of hiding, of crying myself to sleep. In a panicked rush, I told Dad everything. When I was done, I braced myself for his reaction. To my surprise, Dad wasn't angry at all. He hugged me, holding me tight, and cried with me. "Oh Billy, why didn't you tell us sooner?" I told him how Mot scared me into hiding it. Suddenly, in that moment, Mot seemed so much smaller and less scary. Dad told me we were going to figure this out and fix it.
