K’s niece wrote this. She was seven and, together with her parents, visiting K. Having committed some misbehavior, she was being punished by having to stay in K’s room. When she whined about having nothing to read, her mother said, “The way things are here on planet Earth is that you’re going to do what we ask.”

This prompted her to whine even more, so her mother suggested she write down the way she wanted things to be.

The last word she wrote is hospital.
