Dying In My Parents' Livestream

Synopsis

After my parents adopted their friend's orphan, Daisy Singer, they went viral and started a "Good Samaritans" livestream. With the entire internet watching, they had to treat Daisy better than their own child. And so, Daisy got proper food while I got the scraps. She slept in a bed while I slept on the floor. When she got caught dating too early, I was the one punished, made to stand at the school gate holding a sign, because I "failed to set a good example." When she said she was scared she'd have to go to school alone after my SATs, my parents livestreamed themselves tearing up my admission form the night before the exams. They smiled at the camera and said, "Everyone, we treat Daisy like our own. For Daisy's peace of mind, Mara giving up the SATs is nothing." In that same livestream, after days of worsening stomach pain, I finally couldn't take it anymore. I cried, begging them to take me to the hospital. But they were too busy panicking over Daisy's broken manicure. They left me there and walked away. Clutching my stomach, I died in agony in a livestream watched by a hundred thousand people. Mom, Dad, let all that viral traffic be my final gift to you. If I could choose, let me be the adopted one instead.
