“Everyone is hidden by a mask that hides their real faces, their real souls. Everything is not as it seems, just like a fogged up mirror. The world is what you make it, as the old saying goes. That saying is wrong.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55WiwWACuH
“The world is what the people all together make it out to be. The world is a busted mirror, broken due to the sin man inflicts upon the world. One man can see happiness in the world’s mirror, the other man, sadness, and death. The people of this world make the world, each a shard of glass falling from the mirror’s frame. Everyone is different, and just like a broken mirror, not everyone is as they seem.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQDRgnO6Vt
“The world is a parallax, a busted mirror with shards piercing my face, making it bleed my emotions out.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0BlHJEE7B
Apathy.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hWn3KOvch
A disturbance and invisible existence in nature. An existence that neither helps or stalls life’s movements, for it believes in nothing.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu3YjkRXGq
A young boy stands alone in a classroom surrounded by faces that he could not see clearly, they all looked like nothing. The chattering of young children always grew a headache for the young boy, it made him wish that he could not hear.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhImi2Mr44n

Trust. Faith. Happiness. Love.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr18ZTdrB9l
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKIuqrR4Et
The young boy often said that he would rather die than be affiliated with anyone. He hated the sounds of hearts attached to each other being cut by lies that everyone carried. He didn’t like the sound of crying and breaking that he could hear from inside people’s souls. It made him want to die.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdfJ78VZRh
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT52CUxG6t
What didn’t make to boy want to die?631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5bFnxjKBa
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlY6UmVrlC
He found so much nonsense and confusion, such hatred and sorrow, it made him want to die.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVFmjc4GUA
What didn’t make to boy want to die? He found so much nonsense and confusion, such hatred and sorrow, it made him ache.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8rsCfSJm3
Due to his apathy, he was then only one able to see such things come towards others. He always thought to himself that the people that cared weren’t stupid, just reckless. Caring always confused him, and he would think about it, only to soon give up due to his lack of interest.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppmZhfTkwD
The boy lived apathetically, he was content this way.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIzXcNRtqb
He felt that he was doing to the world a favor.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGCdZsr7cT
“One less heart destroying what everyone else strives for.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MkLtYEZ7Z

It was a cold and dreary day, just like any other in the Town With No Name. Rain fell like tears, the tears of a broken heart, cutting deep into those who were in it.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaQsEP8TOo
Grey was a mundane and over-worn color of the town and the sky, but nothing else was ever expected, if anything was ever expected.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6VYguSYvt
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a20Tksr8w
The only things expected in the Town With No Name were screams of agony, life-taking illness, endless murder, unexpected suicide, horrific abortion, broken families, abusive slavery and many other things that made the town’s streets often go red. Not every child was apathetic like the young boy, but often even they didn’t they seem any different.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjDYKwW1jI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGhbkDKjUv
To conform was to stay alive, dreaming was a ticket to quick death.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw0NzwtEsU
People cared, but it was often rare to see self-sacrifice or love.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo082DSiZys
True love was a myth, just like the concept of angels or a being who created the world. The only concepts of love that anyone knew of was purely physical, and often then the concept of love fell to pieces.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXpzin3oxh
To be apathetic was to be wiser than the conformists, and the boy knew this as truth.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq27FUvQUQ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnD5wjmkBp
The young boy entered a park filled with untamed shrubbery, tall grass, dead flowers, a moldy swing set, and a bench. He looked at the rusted cast-iron fence where some had disappeared through time, making a large entrance to a field where puddles of glass-like rain mixed with mud, and trash was everywhere in the grass.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ch558PoAo
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwhQanfpPa
“This place is such a wreck...” began the boy, looking at the trashy scenery through dreary red eyes.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcypRWgCdXm
“What does it matter anyway?” spoke the boy again, yawning.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE2f75dbh4
He was exhausted, not from school, but schooling. His teacher was strict and as dull as a doorknob, but fortunately for the boy, he was to get a new teacher in a month.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkIATuxgBI
Maybe then it would be easier for him to take naps in class.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uXUtKD7B9
Sniffling came from the ground, shutting off all thoughts the boy's flowing thoughts from his mind.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMw1w2tMhQ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlGhUjLgCv
He looked to the ground.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92PKhuTCXd
A young girl around his age sat in the mud, holding her right arm to her chest, her wet and short brown hair flowing in the leafy and rainy wind.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmKwMLCiqM
Big, crystal-like tears rolled off of her round cheeks, her eyes mirroring an emotion that the young boy could not read. Her big, blue eyes held fear and panic which danced around inside of them.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSGLEtlHnm
However, despite all of this, something else was displayed inside of her eyes, something that was being torn apart by the negative emotions but still fought with all of its might.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrSzLB3dwk
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjScnHRfrN
The young boy looked at the beautiful young girl, confused.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfgh2JzBaR
′Why is she here? Why is she crying?′ thought the boy.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzXcufbgO9
A cold wind swept through the boy’s hair.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYjPmFrirM
A ghost-like figure rushed gently past him, towards the young girl.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcfkDyaqCJ
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE121umDhDX
“You shouldn’t be crying in the rain alone...you promised never to do that ever, did you not?” said the voice of the ghost, his voice gentle, like the elegant fall of the present autumn leaves.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp4Dwm2fJS
He bent towards the girl, who looked at him with surprise on her face.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8uTVp4hSH
“Please, let me help you for once.” said the ghost, holding out his hand.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaYk0CPPPx
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA6BYXg2yM
The girl looked at the ghost boy’s hand, slowly lifting her own hand to his.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UVNZyr50L
He looked at her hand. A cut spread across her palm, dark blood, and water flowing from the wound.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x75d6ina6
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC3I8nniNW
“You were trying to get some roses, but you fell and cut yourself on the rocks, where you also twisted your leg, correct?” asked the ghost-like boy.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecMI0Jqt0L
The girl nodded, trying to hide the tears that she had cried.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepRh4iZzuF
The ghost-like boy took his free hand and wiped away her tears.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGcxdDWKNX
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa3hUNlWMb
“You promised. No more crying alone.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84YG1BBuwE
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwfdi5Vifr
She nodded.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kGqNFFRI4
The ghost-like boy tore a strip off of his coat and placed a strange plant on the girl’s hand. He took the strip and wrapped her hand in it. “This should do until you go home,” he began.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE0uNxLFKP
“When you get home, use the herb as a cleanser with some water. Ask your mother to bandage your hand afterward. Understood?”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovkROwXw9D
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3FGVJUijW
The girl nodded, and as she did, a small smile grew upon her pale face.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyosEsVDrX
“Well, let’s look for a rose, then I suggest heading home. I’ve been hearing that a big storm is coming this evening.” spoke the ghost again, smiling.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0996syNDl
The girl nodded, not making a noise. The ghost-like boy helped her up and he walked with her to the roses, the only living resident of the small park.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKAzrNh3T
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOv1ml56JZ
The young boy watched the two. He had seen acts of kindness before, but none like this one. This act of kindness was different, like some sort of regret followed the ghost-like boy.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHsTgO86To
The ghost boy talked like he had known the girl for a long period of time, but coming from the look in the girl’s eyes, it was like she had never met him.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNInTe0ugrw
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX766s5JNyq
Normally, the young boy would have taken his leave just as the ghost appeared, but this time, something kept him watching the kindness. Something stirred in him, something made him interested in the present act of kindness.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEiT3D17pq
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnZYptF2JT
The ghost pointed to a rose that was full of a color that would remind anyone of an untouched ocean, clear and beautiful.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ029bxDQDhU
“How about this rose?” asked the ghost.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaKmp0gnDu
The girl nodded.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8bvsJrk5B
“All you need to do is clap, then the rose will fall from grasp.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbFaindqmI
The girl nodded. She clapped three times, and the rose fell into her hands. She looked at the ghost, amazed.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeeFKoxCXL
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWth5r7qFKc
“The rose realized that you are special,” said the ghost, smiling softly. “Now, shall we get you to your mother?” The girl nodded, smiling back at the ghost.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkhZps1F1i
The young boy followed the ghost, the girl resting on his back, due to her twisted leg.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yqfAwoVP0
They walked down a stone-paved road where old houses resided on the left and right side, with a train track intersected like a bridge from the left to the right.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5syr8QjfW
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fmJNAcr9d
‘Why am I following them?’ thought the young boy. ‘I’m not supposed to be here...’631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSWTI5uV05
The ghost let the girl down from his back.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgo7fJrH1v
“Tell your mother I say hello, alright?” said the ghost. The girl nodded, hugging the ghost-like boy unexpectedly.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNbNoBaDB
“Goodbye for now, Hidari,” said the ghost. A smile shone on his face, but his eyes and voice cried out in sorrow.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapvMFMbuI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0IQ5tH9jt
The girl ran off, leaving only the young boy and the ghost in the autumn rain.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGv121C2W3
’Maybe I can leave quietly, and I won’t be noticed....′ thought the boy.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzbg4YK6Z9
“You know, I did notice you,” said the ghost, making the boy jump.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiHx8QathI
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnEXEQmJAO
The young boy’s eyes met the ghost’s.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCf57jNWGS
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS6VqlFWXs
The ghost-like boy’s left eye was of a beautiful golden color, just like the sun that never shone, but was read about in old books. The ghost’s right eye was covered by an eye patch that bore a strange pattern on it.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRUnR5GG6Z
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE3ZAIBOzl
“I know that you don’t care about anything and you don’t want to be part of anything, but could you keep a secret?” asked the ghost.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYh13hIIu8
“Sure...whatever,” replied the boy.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZ7a6VSww
“Don’t ever tell that girl that you knew me before tomorrow, alright?”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WbzHTUBf9
“Sure. I won’t tell.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjVCf9Zzg5
“Thank you. And I’m sorry, Migi. Very sorry.”631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLkPsVvmkW
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVnI7Vg8dg
The boy looked at the ghost, his long, red hair and scarf flowing in the rainy breeze. The boy was surprised that the ghost knew his name.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNywHD2i4zj
631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAfUgEv3x0
The boy, Migi, tried to see what the ghost was thinking by looking into his eyes, but before he was able to, a train drove down the tracks, and once it left, not even a trace of the ghost’s existence was to be seen.631Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDrCYexmnW
