Some of my colleagues 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC65ldyFof
believe that humans cannot repress memories. That memories which are 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m15aSUJ0x
remembered with the help of someone are just implanted through 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2btzKNGAm
suggestion or hypnosis.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVIoQAhBUa
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByruQRLuiW
Utter none sense I say! In a world where634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mOmL9WALr
ether exists, some find it hardest to believe that we humans can 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhoPyVuaq9
repress our memories. Those scientists and professors are too arrogant 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlIWsAMKzL
to admit that we know nothing of the brain and what it can do. They want634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPpcHEzmIi
me to prove without certainty of a doubt that humans can repress 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmyZF1cnO0
memories. Well to that I say, I want them to prove that it cannot. For I634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PQZOcO6Xx
am not arrogant enough to state I know everything about our brains 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ4APcaOU3

David awakened. Not 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegh2jEfjsA
wanting to get up out of fear of the wounds and disfigurations he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLzRmnXwDK
suffered. He closed his eyes. Ignoring reality, ignoring the inevitable,634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJmOSwpR75
ignoring the pain....wait. David risked moving his hands in front of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTtJIsRks7
his face and all the fingers were there. Not only that his hands were 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmHYAkXR9f
undamaged.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0bPE1K09Z
"Only your physical body634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLuOp1yi55
was damaged, your ether form is safe." A voice broke David's 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJyqH62DFk
concentration. "The only reason your eye is gone is because the blast of634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDB0JwfX31
steam that burned your eye was full of ether."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTogYaQrTf
A shadowy form appeared.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lpojxm8GO
Jester. Instead of his form constantly shifting and his voice taking 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnfo5ZmUsi
different intonations, Jester was only wearing a cloak over his body 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGrk7hv7Jd
hiding any features. And his voice sounded...almost human.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Q3KqOT57
"Long time no see, David. Well for you, I've been watching you for a while." Jester laughed as if he said something funny.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE17j6QdCex
"Am I in the...ether 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIquOtt20I7
world again?" David asked looking around, seeing rocks flying around, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FeqgJ3YKt
storms raging in the skies and shadows flickering in and out of life.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGCCgkXGbX
Jester clapped." Indeed! You are learning, maybe you won't be completely useless." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTairGCNu8
David was tired, too 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr2zjvjlgE
tired for Jester. Even so he still stood up. "Jester can we...can we 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPApYcgSwo
just all this?" David waved his hands in the space between the two.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGJn8Pb1J3
The shadowy hood cocked 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrzW1L9VY8
to a side. "Oh, that's just boring." David began a reply but Jester 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsF5Q6N8CwR
interrupted him. "Very well, if it'll save me from your nagging. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskXcQ3d7P
Knowing what's waiting for you in the real world, you'd think you'd be 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3vnHAjqUx
more grateful."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ufQUExXV
"I..."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9m8CRpNnM
"I went through all the trouble of getting you here. Hiding my presence from my brother and other mages. Honestly some people."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE5WnO1H2r
David groaned in 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaRYCNoqjb
annoyance. "I've just been tortured for the better part of my day. Even 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRCCH7JRNh
if my body isn't feeling it, my mind is. So if you can get to your 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkgdGdHHg5
falling point, that'd be fly."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTptqtufmkK
Jester muttered something David couldn't hear. "Very well. What do you remember of your childhood?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyItiXOn0k
David was startled by the question "What does that have to do with anything?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l00wIUPfi
"Well it's the main point of my visit, and you did say you wanted to stop playing games. What about your mother.?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTrA55IFw9
A headache, feeling of resentment. "She's dead, or alive. I don't flying care."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIrYMKHKxh
"Have you ever wondered why you don't remember your childhood?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUnEDcOql6
"How do you even..." Then David had a realization. "It was you? Were you the one who took my memory?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoVUvGtnlw
Jester giggled and put his hands up. "Guilty."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHoBybky8R
David shouted and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTNRTfWdwQ
tackled the cloaked figure. His mind couldn't take it. After all that 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUe3VLfcIN
torture and Jester's games, after all the pain and loneliness, after all634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBkcxN8ptt
the deaths, David just wanted to blame someone. "Give back my life!" He634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIotMQEN8E
punched inside Jesters hood, meeting only air. "Give back my freedom!" 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqEoOqKAy7
Another punch. "Give back my happiness!" Tears joined the third punch, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1BnFmBmic
which was David's last as Jester started cackling and dissolved into 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARMO0yMtur
mist.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bNnF31nDn
Jester's voice came from634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsfGvxCkxw
behind. "Do you truly think, your misfortune sterns from me?" David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd06D6209QQ
could see surround shadows gathering around him. "What of everyone 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOyx9YzfnE
you've betrayed? People who would've called you their friend or lover. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoRmvRUwSR
Killed or abandoned for coin or survival. The shadows seemed to be 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwBPWRI82z
creating a circle around Jester and David.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo9H3UivER
"You're lying to yourself. You..." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27nfRjGfma
"Shut up!" David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lzbUcNvow
struggled to get up. "Shut your falling mouth. You don't know me, I 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArNhy1iPVb
don't care if you're one of the five, or a demon, or a falling figment 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AFXS0UTj6
of my imagination only I know what or who I am!"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQA6PoOFtE
Jester gave another 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tQwr6ZmuE
laugh, a laugh that chilled David to the bone. Don't I? What makes you 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aBoSdUTgZ
so sure? Or are you just trying to convince yourself because you're 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKoZ0mFPYl
afraid of the truth?" 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G4MayhGJq
"I'm not afraid,I'm..." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxEet1czkF
"You're what? A 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4JiWinGhy
despicable human being? True. A murderer, liar and cheat? Also correct. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKwzS7KJGj
But allow me to show you something, something that will make everything 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmSx8H98ZX
you've done not matter." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMV5IDGeWQ
The shadows completely 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF062U16zII
surrounded the two of them now. "Allow me to show you the why you're 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOGNCCch2i
afraid. Allow me to show you why you forgot your childhood. Allow me 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjHJrWTnmv
show you why this world needs to die." Jester put his hand over David's 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy13NfyEb6
eye and shadows swallowed him.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLopynGEhiE
Shadows parting, David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp6TlZ5JWN
found himself in a room. Bottles and rubbish littering the floor. A 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfBCPouxJ4
woman in the middle of the floor, flailing and screaming from pain. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9SKoyKnRg
David could see her so clearly as if he wasn't in the fade anymore. No 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnITrEEeeZ
more shadowy figures or echoes. Just an improvished room and David's 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRVT9GzSkR
mother634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoztwohezs
"This is my memory." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCYyOIc8uj
Jester said as he appeared besides David. "You claimed I don't know 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qe7aNm3DM
you, yet I might just be the person who knows you the most.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z5sbiiWzQ
David didn't reply to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8j1Bhr3rj
that. He just looked at the woman as various feelings rose within him. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSAolM0e4E
Love, longing, loneliness, but most of all hate.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYjnrlWz2m
Unaware of what was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9d4bV7JzB
inside David's mind, Jester continued. "From the time that you were 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe3XXV7Hje
conceived, when your father raped your mother neither the first nor last634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntAjSiIir2
time. Your poor mother, she loved your father with all her heart, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ474n3xqLCN
despite his many, many faults. It is rather amusing how such a man can 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIwJ4VKGwH
find true love and yet you cannot." David didn't rise to the bait. "She 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAbOOaWI9r
tried getting rid of you, taking herbs and the like, it didn't work. She634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6bLBjitoY
was even tempted to stab herself in the stomach but she was too scared 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSw1H5irYg
she would die. A running theme with you Oxthornes, fear of death."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhUkpyGiDz
Finally the screams of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhDjOwXHZV
pain were replaced by the screams of a baby. Whispers from the babies 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd4GvObLVt
mother reached David as if she was speaking to him. "Quiet, just stay 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43qHxAwBWo
quiet. You ruined my life, he stopped loving me because of you. You. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8WJkfcEjK
You. You." The baby started crying louder, screeching the woman grabbed 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNHaQ2Lyej
the baby's throat and squeezed.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPR4pIIJjE
David could feel his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC39TSB3A0
throat contract, the air trapped in his lungs, extending them beyond 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9hs9mowY5
their capacity. The shock made him go to his knee. "This is when you 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxsyzQXfC3
died." David could hear Jesters voice in the back of his head. Just as 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrvCUgbWHb
the room began spinning his breath and vision returned and the crying 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB2BTooUdX
stopped.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOsnJHJEoN
"Oh, nonononono." The 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi6PC9eDDE
woman wailed. She put the baby gently on the floor and started pushing 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjGKEFK1bN
on its chest. Gently at first, and then with more distress. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWV6xfWw5N
"You who were supposed 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PBIQUQfnI
to die, defied death." Thus the baby started crying again, weakly at 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN2VEvEGqt
first but then gained more vigor. "Yet by dying you became closer to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHJkAInmlN
the etherworld, susceptible to its inhabitants." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiJVKCP72o
Coughing David stood up 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO09GM5NPt
and looked at the mother and son figure...No he looked at him and his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb6rBoguJS
mother. David didn't want to believe this image, yet deep down he knew 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdoZnHKgS6
it was the truth. "Did...were you the one who brought me back?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQvybMa0kw
"No, it was a small 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNRiqsON5C
miracle, for all of us." David was unsure if he should believe Jester 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN0rmEfm0q
but before he could question it anymore his vision changed again.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ7mylDCjn
He was staring at the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC71NCUGkgg
wom...his mummy. His mummy who loved him and took care of him, David was634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqWyhvDMvd
only good at one thing, getting in the way of his mummy's work. He 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6y404t4lM
learned to be quiet after the first few times she slapped him, he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxIXeMlijm
deserved it because mummy did her best to provide for him and David was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG2nVP17CS
just a useless existence, just like his mummy said.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCmecU1tZF
But today David got to be usefull. He had the opportunity to make his mummy proud and happy.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrAmqlHzJ3
"There you go, David." She said brushing his hair with her hand. "You will make mummy proud, won't you?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkcSa7G6Ay
"I will!" Came a squeaky634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTXu99PVB
voice. "I will make you proud..est!" David said as he put a book down.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wDQ5JxZ3f
David was unsure what the name or what the words inside said but it had634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYr2hVr4WU
pictures of flying ships and heroes, something he wanted to be when he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfCC2VXVTV
was an adult.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e3wL8XieS
A knock came from a door634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokJmZIRCgk
and David's mummy went to answer it. She spoke to someone in hushed 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLX9kJ9gRg
tones and then left the room without giving David a glance back. In her 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaBvIWRhTC
stead a stranger came. David had never seen the man before and he was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHRMWK5vbX
scared of strangers. Whenever a stranger came in with his mummy he was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtqxrxg9EG
supposed to be quiet otherwise he wouldn't get food and get slapped for 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLsKl8EIVP
being a bad boy.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukhx3ndMG1
That's why he didn't 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdS45dViy4
speak, didn't move, didn't look at the stranger. "Speak up boy, what's 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBgk4aeLPG
your name?" The man said in a haughty voice.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv8mD8JqTT
"D..david" the answer 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NKaZSX6Xp
came in a whisper. The stranger grunted and came closer to David, moving634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLykvUc03l
empty bottles with his boots. "I said speak up."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ058viYSPca
"David!" Came out the reply, which sounded too loud in David's ears.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3bvbelYS7
The man put his hands on634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLN8abOi9R
Davids shoulders and smiled. "David? I'm David aswell, David Hozzelpoff634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6CsiLZOH3
to be exact. Do you recognize my name?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBZ3DfezGO
David meekly shook his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0JcDXspI2
head and was shoved to the floor. David hit the floor hard, losing his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lmTgPtAfv
breath. "I am the greatest mind of this century!" He crouched down 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2CPOAxIXV
putting his face next to Davids. "Soon everyone will know my name, no 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWJcLEecHT
matter what my colleagues say or what rumors they spread." He said but 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB32ihBX2x
the anger was slowly leaving his voice. "You must understand, I'm not 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CKKmxTM3
usually like this, but...but sometime you just reach that point. I'm a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JurCLhnMl
good man I have a bright future and sometimes you just need obstacles, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLAeFZUGXk
you are just that an obstacle that I must conquer." The man was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS8kdgQv39
bubbling. Caressing Davids face with his hand, the other one moving down634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbrOeK8xZQ
Davids body.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAr4hnUz0o
Please don't. Came adult David's voice634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeWi97Udjb
Young David was scared; 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw54sUbs0p
he was used to beatings but not being touched in that way. He tried 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSYLSeLnEP
wiggling away from the man pinned David down with his greater weight. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MFT3jfW6u
"Stop resisting." Derek hissed. "If everyone just didn't resist I 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90e9P5iJ6B
wouldn't be here I wouldn't need to do anything."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfhudBKIC
Help me. Save me. Came the child and adult voice intermixed.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsdrrIx2d0
"Mummy, mummy!" David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AxT8NgbAH
screamed, tears flowing, a feeling of wetness around his legs. Finally 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqRpmpuWtp
the man slammed his palm into Davids face. That stopped all resistance, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi4IQKGOig
after that day David liked to pretend that he lost consciousness, that 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMd7IPwZ57
everything that happened was a nightmare, but deep down he knew better, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCRiB3gCcA
he knew that what he saw and felt was what had happened.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46tvi9ohL1
David didn't even know 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3aEHqvyJH
when the man finished, his mind was blank and when he came to he could 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok3iEIZgwL
see his mummy looking at him. She scoffed. "Clean yourself up, you're a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkk6SB5HEZ
mess. David tried crying but no tears came.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ7GXdRekY
Suddenly the room shifted again and David himself as an adult again. "That was the first time it happened. One of many." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYipYkq1cga
David could barely hear 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYDyeUHkvx
jester, as all the memories came flowing back. It overwhelmed him and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVOnOwiM9J
the tears he couldn't find as a child freely flew out of him and he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuNqDvPX3H
screamed into the void. Out of desperation, out of misery, out of pure 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS5G8qoybM
anger. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY9pBIch96
"There are more 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcIXJqyGjq
memories. Let me know when you're ready." David looked at jester, whose 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM1cHeEQYN
form changed again. His hood was down but half of his face was covered 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWBw45h84l
in a dark like substance. The other looked...looked like a normal adult 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4GpYA1Xri
male. David almost recognized it but couldn't quite place it.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde32j6LN7X
"What else is there to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhnnriEgMV
remember?" David asked as he got up. Jester just smiled. "Just indulge 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBQZ79mRuj
me." Jester waved his hand again and David was standing in front of a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdUWOr01os
mirror. He could see himself, a young teen. With dead eyes and bruises 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYeBfg2P47
all around his body. He looked at the glass shard in his hand. The blood634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQBohDsNBJ
that was spilling down his arm and hand was slowly dripping on the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBAQ111xh3
floor. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkRCurLgcO
Even the pain didn't 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5jjMySNXj
offer him solace, it used to be that the pain he inflicted on himself 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3gA3WCiNb
offered an escape, but no more. One flick of the shard though...and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQg1efNygp
everything would be gone.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwgkzQLctt
~Just like that, give up634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlJkqSF8xv
end it all. No one will care. ~ That's right, no one cares. Mother is 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OgpE1ftUI
probably with some man, or trying to get someone who was willing to buy 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4vKlfDxWM
Davids body. Would she really mind if he died. He moved the shard closer634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkysTXmXjr
to his neck, his pulse slowly beating. ~But...what if it gets better? 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTwwLVeoak
What if death only brings more pain?~ David paused. "Can't be much worse634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPsqWDZVP0
than this."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOvhFfwdOC
~STOP! ~ David dropped 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE69BiZKTe
the shard as if burned. ~It will get better. Just survive. Have to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtkthmH67B
survive.~ David dropped on his knees. That's right all he had to is 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdREy5cJYTK
survive. Survive and live.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWpL2yUdq3
Everything changed again and David could see his reflection. Scarred, rugged and haunted. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRR021KLWe
" that voice, it was yours." More of a statement rather than a question. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlkYoxL5jY
"Indeed." Jester 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRxIb2qkrk
replied. David could actually hear his voice properly, without an echo 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3izuwcJUcx
or any other effects. He never noticed it before but it did sound a lot 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HCa7sLdfd
like his own did.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJI2knp8gfz
"Why did you try 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvst7rn9Xr
convincing me to kill myself and then stop me? Why not just let me do 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXV4zJ81fy
it?" He said the last part in a whisper; his brain still trying to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBfR6jYez4
process the influx of memories.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEaGdftZge
"I've been there since you were a child I..I wanted to offer you an escape, but then I got scared I'd get lonely, if you died,"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPyYLKFyWP
"You expect me to believe that?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswSYpopjpq
"Believe what you want."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzjDaKAovz
"How many times? How many of my thoughts were mine?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC75kiD7j9Z
Jester chuckled. "All of634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8lLlaB3j2
them really. To make sure you didn't notice anything was out of the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHKHEl9cok
ordinary I had to make it look like they were your thoughts."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBP8w0hbzN
"That just 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4ywc1DTIi
means..."David held his head and groaned in pain. "I'm so confused, in 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6loaha6Ld
my memories it doesn't like you're trying to be subtle. What changed?634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32dgwiXTh8
"It's related to the last memory, I'll show you if you're ready."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWKSaQqwwn
David nodded. "Do it."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTUjM9ET7y
Everything shifted. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZxH19XElb
David was cleaning his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPdqEbEbba
face, in his middle teens and miserable. He wasn't sure when this 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzp9VoJ7Aa
grounded life started but it's been a long time now. He learned tricks 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosVtVWL4Wi
on how to make it easier for himself. By pretending the strangers were 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCksNL4WZc
important he would save himself a lot of abuse, by guessing how they 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJp0PTI2mw
wanted him to act and acting that way they, sometimes, took pity. Of 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIy4p2Yo4m
course not everyone cared; some still had fun abusing a young boy.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8IzbVSy9T
His last one was just 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JYrSOMlkU
that an abuser. David touched his broken-again nose and the eye that was634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpMoVcZu3z
barely opening. The bitch would be angry again, his face was supposed 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByx7fY4rX2
to be without bruises. Her clients liked him more when he looked pure. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsQolG5Uef
Undamaged goods she loved to say.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpweEk5hzg
Right on cue, David 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjQq1pJCKQ
could hear the bathroom door opening and she came in. Sneering she 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91aBy6rkzb
slapped David causing him to fall on the floor. "Stupid, idiot boy!" She634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRToPcz1d7
slurred. What a surprise the bitch was either drunk or drugged. "One 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljR1CgxooO
thing, don't let them hit your face. And look at you! Useless!" She 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7c8RH6zOf
shrieked and kicked David clumsily.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOnQm2x9p7
Why was this his life? 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94mrFA9KXp
Should he have taken his life, can he still do it? He looked at her and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAE0PKk6qM
she seems to have taken offense at that. She scratched at his face and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9wu3VfmLl
came down on him. "How dare you look at me with those eyes! They're his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiPW93NQO3
eyes! Someone like you doesn't deserve them!" She continued in a similar634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLhUNbAiw1
vein trying to get his eyes. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK6kQq9s4N
~Enough David.~ A voice 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeuIBpFNzK
resounded in his head. David knew that voice, it was his only friend. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUiW6531F0
~Fight back.~ David faught against the urge and voice, after all it was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuJoV3sW7s
still his mother. ~FIGHT BACK~ Finally David extended his arm with force634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBux8PKRYe
and met resistance.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GtJ7f3qoM
The scratching and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrULk9qzK8G
shrieking stopped, he could see his mother on the floor, groaning, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BSWXALu9T
slowly getting up. Thinking quickly David grabbed a glass bottle and hit634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUiDwni1h8
the bitch with it. Again and again until all that was left was a glass 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOX0q5wyX3
shard and then he kept stabbing and screaming until his throat and hand 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG77qO20Yrw
was raw. Once he couldn't hold the shard he stopped and laughed.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vzdl9dCXA
Oh god what did he do? 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIoubLizyR
This was his mummy, the one who always protected him, the one who would 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRzU3kVIxU
never abandon him a and he..he murdered her. But...no, no, no. She hated634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wLEQe6vY8
him did she? Yeah she was a bitch..NO..she was his mother. Was there a 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnZkg48gdo
difference? David started crying and throwing up. He killed her, he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGWys7ob5A
killed her, he killed her. His head felt as it was going to burst, cries634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOMHXfnvJq
replaced the laughter as he rolled on the floor covering himself in 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg6qEvXOaw
blood.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIAQ37FwQB
~that's enough David. Forget, forget everything.~ 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZSld6A6Bz
There was a pause and everything quieted down.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagddU0JHRM
A boy named David just 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNItiFYOq9G
woke up. Surrounded by empty bottles and rubbish. David shrugged and 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReymHyaBd5
winced. He was in pain did he fall? That would explain the blood all 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuODzH7ZqT
over him. Yes he fell and hurt himself. But what about the body...wait 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5nCg7BQoY
what body? David looked around and couldn't see anyone else in the room634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJyhFDvla7
besides him. Why did his head hurt? Why couldn't he remember what he 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQWC94Iu93
was...oh that's right. He was going to become a hero and fly on a ship. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7I7RMOnjU
Yes, that's what he was about to do when he became all confused, how 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvHFvtDUU8
silly of him.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ZjFXwVHp
Remembering his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7Ih1vnAgm
objective, David opened the door and left his old life behind. To enter 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauIAVlWlk7
his living room and find his dad, mum and brother sitting at a round 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoxnnwONrl
table preparing a meal. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbXJzfL1bc
"There you are David!" 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEoiy0XjcU
His dad said. "We've been waiting forever, come on I can't wait to start634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMwlwP4gfV
eating!" He started hitting his utensils on the table. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCCVUxvcYE
This isn't the truth.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM7UFlNRoO
David obligingly sat 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiACG2Pqoh
down. "Oh stop, honey. You're going to give children bad manners." His 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiXluTA0Vm
mum chided playfully. As she put the food on the table and ruffled his 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLYMCbWRnj
brothers hair. Sitting down next to David and giving him a warm smile.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PkdITKO7o
A dream, nothing else.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1usRBHSdA
They all thanked the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1DSDJHZ9q
gods for what they had and started eating. Yes thankful for this happy, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI7gZFcte8
oblivious life. Thankful for good and supportive parents. Thankful for 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCAIZ9wLz7
this lie.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SfpHNx7jQ
A lie that has to end.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYNOwVraJ8
David was standing at 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheBpc6zah7
the table.. He was sure this wasn't part of any memories, but he was 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVtW77IHlx
sure that the boy was him, a happier more healthy him, and the woman was634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0BN10kaky
his real mother or atleast someone who looked like her. While the 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNK7tFHeFL
brother and man? Something that might've happened if he was luckier? 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkFcbDDZ9P
Either way David hated 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GSQE0TIsm
this. Why, why, why, why didn't he get this happy blissful life. Why 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrhwrdH8wj
didn't he get a father who would teach him to become a proper man, why 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK0djgxUtc
didn't he get a mother who consoled him when he hurt? Why was he all 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcQ7cAFGmI
alone, without a brother or any other sibling. Why does THIS pale 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JgXXlxILb
imitation of his deserves this good life, he'll never appreciate. Why 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkdE7gVqct
does anyone. When there's so many suffering why do only few deserve to 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxol7u3V8o
life this happy blissful life?634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF38aenXe1
The answer was so simple634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQC81QawW5
that David almost laughed. It didn't come in a whisper by someone else,634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLt4sqMniq
it was his own and he fully knew it. They didn't, they didn't deserve 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqTcOtKZr3
this life, no one did. Thus there was only one solution to end it all, 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEehY7YZUK
end all misery either present or one that will come in the future. 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3kfJAsnL0
David decided to start 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k4PwGLjaY
with this lie, he took the knife and plunged it into his young self. "No634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkaAyfE9XX
more lies." He took it out and stabbed his father. "No more regrets." 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp7zfayLfp
Next his brother. "No more tears." And finally he stabbed his own 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1JLN4s7yg
mother. "No more mercy."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQf75zHLvd
With the last stab 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpc8XGXmru
everything fell apart piece by piece and David found himself staring at 634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU9QUcTzDO
his own shadowy reflection. The only thing surrounding them was the vast634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmviHOFZsG
emptiness.
