Some of my colleagues 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjgS1JNtbQ
believe that humans cannot repress memories. That memories which are 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP3XkHj3WV
remembered with the help of someone are just implanted through 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwLR3BA5AY
suggestion or hypnosis.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3BzQcW16g

Utter none sense I say! In a world where930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMtCe2XXQC
ether exists, some find it hardest to believe that we humans can 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4ls5D8se5
repress our memories. Those scientists and professors are too arrogant 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxCuND5mLe
to admit that we know nothing of the brain and what it can do. They want930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulDBlPopo2
me to prove without certainty of a doubt that humans can repress 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3bMqTNopm
memories. Well to that I say, I want them to prove that it cannot. For I930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl5MpbBA2h

David awakened. Not 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKfspKdxuH
wanting to get up out of fear of the wounds and disfigurations he 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0scAktiMD3
suffered. He closed his eyes. Ignoring reality, ignoring the inevitable,930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwQxEy1kF2
ignoring the pain....wait. David risked moving his hands in front of 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIePZlfJWI
his face and all the fingers were there. Not only that his hands were 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd16Txj4xi
undamaged.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia4oSRipPQ
"Only your physical body930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVm3uy4vdJ
was damaged, your ether form is safe." A voice broke David's 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrKI08lCB6
concentration. "The only reason your eye is gone is because the blast of930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Qlz1sS81
steam that burned your eye was full of ether."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkr5EEsuNqh
A shadowy form appeared.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1NjUW2S2r
Jester. Instead of his form constantly shifting and his voice taking 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FrCG5hrfH
different intonations, Jester was only wearing a cloak over his body 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mhNz4rlvE
hiding any features. And his voice sounded...almost human.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJaQU7NG7
"Long time no see, David. Well for you, I've been watching you for a while." Jester laughed as if he said something funny.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9uYkDZm3
"Am I in the...ether 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnHONOhV4P
world again?" David asked looking around, seeing rocks flying around, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZahm9dxOdc
storms raging in the skies and shadows flickering in and out of life.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuzu9akVeL
Jester clapped." Indeed! You are learning, maybe you won't be completely useless." 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eneJ4VMvu
David was tired, too 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTMuwMw9q1
tired for Jester. Even so he still stood up. "Jester can we...can we 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfr9oLPzKv
just all this?" David waved his hands in the space between the two.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HISIagBwx
The shadowy hood cocked 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8iXPl8mFv
to a side. "Oh, that's just boring." David began a reply but Jester 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFYA9tfIXU
interrupted him. "Very well, if it'll save me from your nagging. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoapEs81CUt
Knowing what's waiting for you in the real world, you'd think you'd be 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeA0XR3Ecp
more grateful."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeCfzXYaRT
"I..."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eICuwpd3M
"I went through all the trouble of getting you here. Hiding my presence from my brother and other mages. Honestly some people."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUFiFmsCOA
David groaned in 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbDB6N3bl7
annoyance. "I've just been tortured for the better part of my day. Even 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdGyvOCs2O
if my body isn't feeling it, my mind is. So if you can get to your 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbXDMkmyAU
falling point, that'd be fly."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5YsdrMDwH
Jester muttered something David couldn't hear. "Very well. What do you remember of your childhood?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzozTgftfk
David was startled by the question "What does that have to do with anything?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHtwOySVuv
"Well it's the main point of my visit, and you did say you wanted to stop playing games. What about your mother.?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrKXlrafr9
A headache, feeling of resentment. "She's dead, or alive. I don't flying care."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pchg2TEaL
"Have you ever wondered why you don't remember your childhood?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mZNWH4oTA
"How do you even..." Then David had a realization. "It was you? Were you the one who took my memory?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z4JbSWSGy
Jester giggled and put his hands up. "Guilty."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0ytpFWPEJ
David shouted and 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaKaFNTtRJ
tackled the cloaked figure. His mind couldn't take it. After all that 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p6NEiK3bp
torture and Jester's games, after all the pain and loneliness, after all930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEChZEJ16dX
the deaths, David just wanted to blame someone. "Give back my life!" He930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrBdHvyAZ7
punched inside Jesters hood, meeting only air. "Give back my freedom!" 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UXoBqjbj1
Another punch. "Give back my happiness!" Tears joined the third punch, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ7Cba7FS0
which was David's last as Jester started cackling and dissolved into 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSR5ncHvKx
mist.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy3gK6cKOY
Jester's voice came from930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6n6hPO3d2
behind. "Do you truly think, your misfortune sterns from me?" David 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWm6EcWd9r
could see surround shadows gathering around him. "What of everyone 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCOt0KGzYL
you've betrayed? People who would've called you their friend or lover. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm8KE9Vobe
Killed or abandoned for coin or survival. The shadows seemed to be 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVJaNEhVYf
creating a circle around Jester and David.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDcpRLUuOD
"You're lying to yourself. You..." 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVodapkOO8
"Shut up!" David 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6J8HV5EBv
struggled to get up. "Shut your falling mouth. You don't know me, I 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASvtG4i4FS
don't care if you're one of the five, or a demon, or a falling figment 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3fQwThXvT
of my imagination only I know what or who I am!"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0QWoZDnSs
Jester gave another 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkgzy56CvW
laugh, a laugh that chilled David to the bone. Don't I? What makes you 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVKsxUwXEq
so sure? Or are you just trying to convince yourself because you're 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYig4YsYFRL
afraid of the truth?" 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo4DExAEBB
"I'm not afraid,I'm..." 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iaIxRzv6N
"You're what? A 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH1ScUQE6c
despicable human being? True. A murderer, liar and cheat? Also correct. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdgGhRtCR7
But allow me to show you something, something that will make everything 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtcqVq7jlY
you've done not matter." 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5T7JMfw82
The shadows completely 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCs28vqXkS
surrounded the two of them now. "Allow me to show you the why you're 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDd323jCw7
afraid. Allow me to show you why you forgot your childhood. Allow me 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYMaxJuh0S
show you why this world needs to die." Jester put his hand over David's 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QpGYDSsPV
eye and shadows swallowed him.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2DZwHnk4v
Shadows parting, David 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9DHbpoxTG
found himself in a room. Bottles and rubbish littering the floor. A 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0kmVGLUQI
woman in the middle of the floor, flailing and screaming from pain. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr539WkiAF
David could see her so clearly as if he wasn't in the fade anymore. No 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NXtEL8qhQ
more shadowy figures or echoes. Just an improvished room and David's 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQun9no773
mother930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU4ZtfXAKm
"This is my memory." 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOShguri2or
Jester said as he appeared besides David. "You claimed I don't know 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bKMxjgj3O
you, yet I might just be the person who knows you the most.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2SmXKsFgP
David didn't reply to 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaICr0FofoZ
that. He just looked at the woman as various feelings rose within him. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pbe5pO09M
Love, longing, loneliness, but most of all hate.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XgfARCM2I
Unaware of what was 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx76LKoNwNF
inside David's mind, Jester continued. "From the time that you were 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD21q2Rdlb
conceived, when your father raped your mother neither the first nor last930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60VZCWiNrO
time. Your poor mother, she loved your father with all her heart, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xsbGDgg5s
despite his many, many faults. It is rather amusing how such a man can 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHClQKYF8kZ
find true love and yet you cannot." David didn't rise to the bait. "She 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGOi906gF8
tried getting rid of you, taking herbs and the like, it didn't work. She930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbMrJXRKya
was even tempted to stab herself in the stomach but she was too scared 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxudxkXjtLn
she would die. A running theme with you Oxthornes, fear of death."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpidtrYl6hi
Finally the screams of 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBadkHern18
pain were replaced by the screams of a baby. Whispers from the babies 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMauprm24k
mother reached David as if she was speaking to him. "Quiet, just stay 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1cs5MJUZG
quiet. You ruined my life, he stopped loving me because of you. You. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkDAOZjWXU
You. You." The baby started crying louder, screeching the woman grabbed 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPrLH6rpEu
the baby's throat and squeezed.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dJEBSz1sD
David could feel his 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtUNGeFiq2
throat contract, the air trapped in his lungs, extending them beyond 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7eAzTjUSj
their capacity. The shock made him go to his knee. "This is when you 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFX9Tv5scN
died." David could hear Jesters voice in the back of his head. Just as 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASm2wy5KXo
the room began spinning his breath and vision returned and the crying 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SaPkvrVoO
stopped.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIToKc46Ero
"Oh, nonononono." The 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZYwLdiWpO
woman wailed. She put the baby gently on the floor and started pushing 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZimC6WboX
on its chest. Gently at first, and then with more distress. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXtGRrIAvm
"You who were supposed 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenrKJuX1ln
to die, defied death." Thus the baby started crying again, weakly at 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKZAJhm8P3
first but then gained more vigor. "Yet by dying you became closer to 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgcVrWKc3g
the etherworld, susceptible to its inhabitants." 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1teERQcwa
Coughing David stood up 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHeWwMOsNI
and looked at the mother and son figure...No he looked at him and his 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtmQkbWUkt
mother. David didn't want to believe this image, yet deep down he knew 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmCyZmlu3e
it was the truth. "Did...were you the one who brought me back?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcF3ml39Ss
"No, it was a small 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdXTmlcwgr
miracle, for all of us." David was unsure if he should believe Jester 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGuGrGkyLD
but before he could question it anymore his vision changed again.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM5euRtHUe
He was staring at the 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKKi1DzuLc
wom...his mummy. His mummy who loved him and took care of him, David was930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfOp72z1jq
only good at one thing, getting in the way of his mummy's work. He 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKusLKGGgW
learned to be quiet after the first few times she slapped him, he 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cv6XJzK8V
deserved it because mummy did her best to provide for him and David was 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB3KPNHsvb
just a useless existence, just like his mummy said.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh3CGQ6Rbj
But today David got to be usefull. He had the opportunity to make his mummy proud and happy.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzFh6gI07U
"There you go, David." She said brushing his hair with her hand. "You will make mummy proud, won't you?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0N8VBTkdcD
"I will!" Came a squeaky930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcNY6KZTOI
voice. "I will make you proud..est!" David said as he put a book down.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHeV9pZexB
David was unsure what the name or what the words inside said but it had930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFudEcD4sXg
pictures of flying ships and heroes, something he wanted to be when he 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL0S480V8d
was an adult.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyUBcVkJLh
A knock came from a door930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb2U4bLjcT
and David's mummy went to answer it. She spoke to someone in hushed 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUIBc6125b
tones and then left the room without giving David a glance back. In her 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCJiCe116x
stead a stranger came. David had never seen the man before and he was 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPrpmr56SC
scared of strangers. Whenever a stranger came in with his mummy he was 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuLK9zEueL
supposed to be quiet otherwise he wouldn't get food and get slapped for 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHqC3kA08R
being a bad boy.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyqilDHc2S
That's why he didn't 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46E5SOfMCF
speak, didn't move, didn't look at the stranger. "Speak up boy, what's 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQt7jI9VPh
your name?" The man said in a haughty voice.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8a2R8Feby
"D..david" the answer 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jZMRfQ1Ar
came in a whisper. The stranger grunted and came closer to David, moving930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H7Xql0DTr
empty bottles with his boots. "I said speak up."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcLCdkDs9B
"David!" Came out the reply, which sounded too loud in David's ears.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9TCihGfod
The man put his hands on930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQmiqNVzlY
Davids shoulders and smiled. "David? I'm David aswell, David Hozzelpoff930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJxEQjL5up
to be exact. Do you recognize my name?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWPYbtCSik
David meekly shook his 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAQc1QQHM0
head and was shoved to the floor. David hit the floor hard, losing his 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSogQzvYzv
breath. "I am the greatest mind of this century!" He crouched down 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr8Lv1dgXW
putting his face next to Davids. "Soon everyone will know my name, no 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxMxroGWQR
matter what my colleagues say or what rumors they spread." He said but 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA84ZmBFiHQ
the anger was slowly leaving his voice. "You must understand, I'm not 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMrPutR6cd
usually like this, but...but sometime you just reach that point. I'm a 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIXQunxOTa
good man I have a bright future and sometimes you just need obstacles, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWM8ZmpzvX
you are just that an obstacle that I must conquer." The man was 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlcNiy0vWR
bubbling. Caressing Davids face with his hand, the other one moving down930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGHA0yjefb
Davids body.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvs3Z0iCDv
Please don't. Came adult David's voice930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEVwxJq28o
Young David was scared; 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzIuvmt988
he was used to beatings but not being touched in that way. He tried 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WgYCtVcpN
wiggling away from the man pinned David down with his greater weight. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW5d33TWKr
"Stop resisting." Derek hissed. "If everyone just didn't resist I 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq1aSyDpGN
wouldn't be here I wouldn't need to do anything."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3zhxubx8u
Help me. Save me. Came the child and adult voice intermixed.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVC3izDGY63
"Mummy, mummy!" David 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Dofhd9Ose
screamed, tears flowing, a feeling of wetness around his legs. Finally 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvefzDw4vP
the man slammed his palm into Davids face. That stopped all resistance, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIsyryvFYi
after that day David liked to pretend that he lost consciousness, that 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji6KvDZG5H
everything that happened was a nightmare, but deep down he knew better, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruzGmVyzQ1
he knew that what he saw and felt was what had happened.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2RtLKrHRu
David didn't even know 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRU96fGoCM
when the man finished, his mind was blank and when he came to he could 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL0lMgPXO9
see his mummy looking at him. She scoffed. "Clean yourself up, you're a 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFVaNp2aAj
mess. David tried crying but no tears came.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XEIjaass4
Suddenly the room shifted again and David himself as an adult again. "That was the first time it happened. One of many." 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsb5L7LqD9
David could barely hear 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD3RPHALK0
jester, as all the memories came flowing back. It overwhelmed him and 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYdRblwy8w
the tears he couldn't find as a child freely flew out of him and he 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2Ug00hnTo
screamed into the void. Out of desperation, out of misery, out of pure 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39VwTdwlrb
anger. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUo8cR8V46
"There are more 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2STbwG7w8M
memories. Let me know when you're ready." David looked at jester, whose 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR8NKAG2xw
form changed again. His hood was down but half of his face was covered 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Eop5OGtWo
in a dark like substance. The other looked...looked like a normal adult 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sVS14GG3p
male. David almost recognized it but couldn't quite place it.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoouKWvGAj
"What else is there to 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJhiSbTiOv
remember?" David asked as he got up. Jester just smiled. "Just indulge 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkthrVs9wt
me." Jester waved his hand again and David was standing in front of a 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FR7uB2g19
mirror. He could see himself, a young teen. With dead eyes and bruises 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEecieZ69Bf
all around his body. He looked at the glass shard in his hand. The blood930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3O8hzJgZ6
that was spilling down his arm and hand was slowly dripping on the 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc060zfK6A
floor. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDtaTrDLJV
Even the pain didn't 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WAbnQ6Ag7
offer him solace, it used to be that the pain he inflicted on himself 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveAUUQPSpE
offered an escape, but no more. One flick of the shard though...and 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbmHhuhXLb
everything would be gone.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBBXxubjtK
~Just like that, give up930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2746nEJ4wm
end it all. No one will care. ~ That's right, no one cares. Mother is 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdVLDeU5ke
probably with some man, or trying to get someone who was willing to buy 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTLhNus8XL
Davids body. Would she really mind if he died. He moved the shard closer930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9bpu1tvFv
to his neck, his pulse slowly beating. ~But...what if it gets better? 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW34Mr47PN
What if death only brings more pain?~ David paused. "Can't be much worse930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlkISDIjGN
than this."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHt9yMorL9
~STOP! ~ David dropped 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjc6w5q6LY
the shard as if burned. ~It will get better. Just survive. Have to 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXg17sKxwI
survive.~ David dropped on his knees. That's right all he had to is 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt882GJiQmb
survive. Survive and live.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTvMithaLN
Everything changed again and David could see his reflection. Scarred, rugged and haunted. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgrO60I3y3
" that voice, it was yours." More of a statement rather than a question. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zS1nehrFJ
"Indeed." Jester 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFwkk1HYeg
replied. David could actually hear his voice properly, without an echo 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1q7JBgEoH
or any other effects. He never noticed it before but it did sound a lot 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBumuyo5dK
like his own did.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCwCdyNd9h
"Why did you try 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUlDCsVkdr
convincing me to kill myself and then stop me? Why not just let me do 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGH8Mlukw6
it?" He said the last part in a whisper; his brain still trying to 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2o3YgRP36
process the influx of memories.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrtRtPDoFj
"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,"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lxoy38VbS
"You expect me to believe that?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO4TpT0FZN
"Believe what you want."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV8IG1Bd87
"How many times? How many of my thoughts were mine?"930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtHxRGZBSh
Jester chuckled. "All of930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxMQ9dEAvQ
them really. To make sure you didn't notice anything was out of the 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRIQHJrJpr
ordinary I had to make it look like they were your thoughts."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzAkG0f78t
"That just 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeOfahTciX
means..."David held his head and groaned in pain. "I'm so confused, in 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlxLZJDBti
my memories it doesn't like you're trying to be subtle. What changed?930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDHr1I8eUk
"It's related to the last memory, I'll show you if you're ready."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw8wXE5zQF
David nodded. "Do it."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Gg8VZnb2V
Everything shifted. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6wHGTvSzS
David was cleaning his 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtUtYSIZMc
face, in his middle teens and miserable. He wasn't sure when this 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9w0gY9S7b
grounded life started but it's been a long time now. He learned tricks 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJLgg06WbR
on how to make it easier for himself. By pretending the strangers were 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw5e0RLMXn
important he would save himself a lot of abuse, by guessing how they 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBu1yxbyP7
wanted him to act and acting that way they, sometimes, took pity. Of 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybdgGpyJGz
course not everyone cared; some still had fun abusing a young boy.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgOMFten9v
His last one was just 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIlDhqTvxe
that an abuser. David touched his broken-again nose and the eye that was930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOHNx3sTK3
barely opening. The bitch would be angry again, his face was supposed 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASi9m2G8FB
to be without bruises. Her clients liked him more when he looked pure. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0AZ3ypNnm
Undamaged goods she loved to say.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VNuf2tTsJ
Right on cue, David 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0OApN3dOR
could hear the bathroom door opening and she came in. Sneering she 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9IlqSqk07
slapped David causing him to fall on the floor. "Stupid, idiot boy!" She930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwABTe3Dj11
slurred. What a surprise the bitch was either drunk or drugged. "One 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjyKAmffSg
thing, don't let them hit your face. And look at you! Useless!" She 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qEyjnHKbU
shrieked and kicked David clumsily.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkJoiA3vro
Why was this his life? 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYJK936kaL
Should he have taken his life, can he still do it? He looked at her and 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9dqfbDufm
she seems to have taken offense at that. She scratched at his face and 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqJvD7WDw9
came down on him. "How dare you look at me with those eyes! They're his 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFpvXUZsrj
eyes! Someone like you doesn't deserve them!" She continued in a similar930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNO7je66Gt
vein trying to get his eyes. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgbfz3WrFT
~Enough David.~ A voice 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh5A19KmxE
resounded in his head. David knew that voice, it was his only friend. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEEJSUGD3I
~Fight back.~ David faught against the urge and voice, after all it was 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrImrct8fa7
still his mother. ~FIGHT BACK~ Finally David extended his arm with force930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J3XveWyh2
and met resistance.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkU2fv1kGo
The scratching and 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cF4ZJGHFC
shrieking stopped, he could see his mother on the floor, groaning, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKkjsyiKm6
slowly getting up. Thinking quickly David grabbed a glass bottle and hit930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD5HpXFIhY
the bitch with it. Again and again until all that was left was a glass 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgPzXmEBrw
shard and then he kept stabbing and screaming until his throat and hand 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHfw9bCgpK
was raw. Once he couldn't hold the shard he stopped and laughed.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqBdT9yyTC
Oh god what did he do? 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks3pmO94fQ
This was his mummy, the one who always protected him, the one who would 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xh3XWD7tw
never abandon him a and he..he murdered her. But...no, no, no. She hated930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSruTK3U08
him did she? Yeah she was a bitch..NO..she was his mother. Was there a 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJoeTyXmf7
difference? David started crying and throwing up. He killed her, he 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z3EyBmczj
killed her, he killed her. His head felt as it was going to burst, cries930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxN6fsazFt
replaced the laughter as he rolled on the floor covering himself in 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58vRIfNOUE
blood.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDMqrpPh6Z
~that's enough David. Forget, forget everything.~ 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmceMP8DTa
There was a pause and everything quieted down.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRsKrA9VVA
A boy named David just 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyen3bCvvW
woke up. Surrounded by empty bottles and rubbish. David shrugged and 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKEKFftNbB
winced. He was in pain did he fall? That would explain the blood all 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79151m0vHQ
over him. Yes he fell and hurt himself. But what about the body...wait 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvdSvjUkmM
what body? David looked around and couldn't see anyone else in the room930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmLa1tWgqQ
besides him. Why did his head hurt? Why couldn't he remember what he 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn5tm1Ja2n
was...oh that's right. He was going to become a hero and fly on a ship. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpSSqTshwl
Yes, that's what he was about to do when he became all confused, how 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEXc4wGSmQ
silly of him.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7oCJEx6CC
Remembering his 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKekMyaB9Ds
objective, David opened the door and left his old life behind. To enter 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOmAhTvXAs
his living room and find his dad, mum and brother sitting at a round 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEpdBODWWU
table preparing a meal. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe6k3XRQ9y
"There you are David!" 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ049s9pYehL
His dad said. "We've been waiting forever, come on I can't wait to start930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWOQWHGDgk
eating!" He started hitting his utensils on the table. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBvp47t641
This isn't the truth.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9d4nMpdaD
David obligingly sat 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjNG27w8uB
down. "Oh stop, honey. You're going to give children bad manners." His 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLbQ1VDPXg
mum chided playfully. As she put the food on the table and ruffled his 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoQ6ad1jaw
brothers hair. Sitting down next to David and giving him a warm smile.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSqpuhRkJJ
A dream, nothing else.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv8eMh58SI
They all thanked the 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCWD8BwGi1
gods for what they had and started eating. Yes thankful for this happy, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL59DKY6pJ
oblivious life. Thankful for good and supportive parents. Thankful for 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UnpbYvs5K
this lie.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4QIrSvTvy
A lie that has to end.930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj73suMuj0
David was standing at 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeve1brM0cR
the table.. He was sure this wasn't part of any memories, but he was 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMksUR74Rl
sure that the boy was him, a happier more healthy him, and the woman was930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT3cBQXdsh
his real mother or atleast someone who looked like her. While the 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVjXYbKGdW
brother and man? Something that might've happened if he was luckier? 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDrwuMOn6r
Either way David hated 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvPbzN6adA
this. Why, why, why, why didn't he get this happy blissful life. Why 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQgDBllToe
didn't he get a father who would teach him to become a proper man, why 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ULFUizmm
didn't he get a mother who consoled him when he hurt? Why was he all 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeLn33AtjR
alone, without a brother or any other sibling. Why does THIS pale 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdoTZXSYqu
imitation of his deserves this good life, he'll never appreciate. Why 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyHRhjLkqo
does anyone. When there's so many suffering why do only few deserve to 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAttpTYp0g
life this happy blissful life?930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnumGFhdX6
The answer was so simple930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYBJyqzkLN
that David almost laughed. It didn't come in a whisper by someone else,930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUZSaCWlgv
it was his own and he fully knew it. They didn't, they didn't deserve 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06hwGSPOTB
this life, no one did. Thus there was only one solution to end it all, 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdU5ebqNzL
end all misery either present or one that will come in the future. 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGR5RQeDoX
David decided to start 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9B2gC1b9P
with this lie, he took the knife and plunged it into his young self. "No930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCMd6Ncb1y
more lies." He took it out and stabbed his father. "No more regrets." 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF02Dtw7itX
Next his brother. "No more tears." And finally he stabbed his own 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdvW6UPe7t
mother. "No more mercy."930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOhNSZFKKW
With the last stab 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMsdgy6Vuz
everything fell apart piece by piece and David found himself staring at 930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89u1DLkYTs
his own shadowy reflection. The only thing surrounding them was the vast930Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N4m6LhtGA
emptiness.
