A childhood belief about imaginary friends

My imaginary friend was a man called Turner (no first name, just Turner) who came to live in my room because his ex-wife took his house after he cheated on her. He was a businessman but would always leave the house before my dad did because my dad always ignored him. He used to boss me around when I got home and tell me to do my homework. He was useful though, because he remembered things my conscious mind didn't. In the end he left to marry Cleopatra (the Egyptian queen, who I believed was still alive at this time).
