Biography

When I was a child, I used to “wet the bed” a lot.
I was attacked in my dreams by ghosts and monsters I saw in movies and cartoons. I
was too scared to go to the bathroom as if something was still lurking in the dark corner
of my room.
In the morning, I once apologized to my pants while washing them, saying “I'm sorry”
out of a sense of guilt for some reason.
I wonder what the pants I wet are thinking as they are being washed.
If the pants had a will, they might be very angry at being soiled by bedwetting.
If the pants appeared in my dream, they might come to my side when I am frightened
and ask me what the cause is.
If pants could get rid of the monsters causing my bedwetting, I might be able to go to
the bathroom in the middle of the night.
