Dear Diary and Lost Souls
Today, the depths of winter clawed at the windows, a fitting backdrop as I pondered upon my own existence. The cold has never bothered me; it is, after all, a faithful companion to death. I found myself gravitating towards the ancient mirrors adorning our home, scrutinizing my reflection with a newfound purpose. It was in the fluid dance of the flames from the nearby candelabrum that I saw it - a ballerina trapped in the body of a Wednesday Adam outfit. It was almost poetic, the way the black fabric of my customary dress could transform into something so graceful, yet still retain its macabre essence.
Pugsley interrupted my reverie, as always, but this time bearing a useful gift: a pair of ballet shoes, unearthed from the catacombs of our family mansion. They were a perfect match for my Addams family dress, a cruel reminder of the ballerina I yearned to become. I accepted them, granting him a rare smile, one bereft of sadistic intent, a rarity in the Addams household.
Until the morrow.
