Some of my colleagues 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOMWwxXF8G
believe that humans cannot repress memories. That memories which are 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2mCtq28wc
remembered with the help of someone are just implanted through 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcuAJU8oyb
suggestion or hypnosis.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTyPTTbJSs
691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbsbaeUDOr
Utter none sense I say! In a world where691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuF5EwD76P
ether exists, some find it hardest to believe that we humans can 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t91m6SGki
repress our memories. Those scientists and professors are too arrogant 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLdKeuI5sg
to admit that we know nothing of the brain and what it can do. They want691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwgfAL2vVx
me to prove without certainty of a doubt that humans can repress 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJjUwN3GuQ
memories. Well to that I say, I want them to prove that it cannot. For I691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwo6HSBDe6

691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE1GFFGLRU
David awakened. Not 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHt2PMhau6
wanting to get up out of fear of the wounds and disfigurations he 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2aykQrw2D
suffered. He closed his eyes. Ignoring reality, ignoring the inevitable,691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdoVsjD89N
ignoring the pain....wait. David risked moving his hands in front of 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4HtEGRtVs
his face and all the fingers were there. Not only that his hands were 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2kgARRdqW
undamaged.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY0h1n3l4Z
"Only your physical body691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU9XdHbP7l
was damaged, your ether form is safe." A voice broke David's 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyXUc8S3Ym
concentration. "The only reason your eye is gone is because the blast of691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyPSNm2NKV
steam that burned your eye was full of ether."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy0dBLGWHb
A shadowy form appeared.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBySxL8xs0a
Jester. Instead of his form constantly shifting and his voice taking 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWTQ4CvWlV
different intonations, Jester was only wearing a cloak over his body 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TwHtBhl4Q
hiding any features. And his voice sounded...almost human.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL1lC2XQyC
"Long time no see, David. Well for you, I've been watching you for a while." Jester laughed as if he said something funny.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjjVyfkP13
"Am I in the...ether 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW5JNb2Z3w
world again?" David asked looking around, seeing rocks flying around, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHQtuWUMlV
storms raging in the skies and shadows flickering in and out of life.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LKhQ23hnf
Jester clapped." Indeed! You are learning, maybe you won't be completely useless." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2akpRwEyD
David was tired, too 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Aufy21nhT
tired for Jester. Even so he still stood up. "Jester can we...can we 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HbqFXhWHW
just all this?" David waved his hands in the space between the two.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QgJzXwzFt
The shadowy hood cocked 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiZczr2T7U
to a side. "Oh, that's just boring." David began a reply but Jester 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYGwP9mX01
interrupted him. "Very well, if it'll save me from your nagging. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ9oxFrcm7
Knowing what's waiting for you in the real world, you'd think you'd be 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc06rRwcdC
more grateful."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XsnbfOLSx
"I..."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKxJnwelqu
"I went through all the trouble of getting you here. Hiding my presence from my brother and other mages. Honestly some people."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uwdYUYotW
David groaned in 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD2umkHZJw
annoyance. "I've just been tortured for the better part of my day. Even 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxQN1ERFOr
if my body isn't feeling it, my mind is. So if you can get to your 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6SvhGYEsz
falling point, that'd be fly."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRqCz5qaGq
Jester muttered something David couldn't hear. "Very well. What do you remember of your childhood?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljgPu0VQgr
David was startled by the question "What does that have to do with anything?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzji4vdaZL
"Well it's the main point of my visit, and you did say you wanted to stop playing games. What about your mother.?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumZ9sH5wt3
A headache, feeling of resentment. "She's dead, or alive. I don't flying care."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGfCltSJg9
"Have you ever wondered why you don't remember your childhood?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBUskvXytO
"How do you even..." Then David had a realization. "It was you? Were you the one who took my memory?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8v70U40fd
Jester giggled and put his hands up. "Guilty."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z0EHkeZsN
David shouted and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6C5jlEdUb
tackled the cloaked figure. His mind couldn't take it. After all that 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUUXKbOoT9
torture and Jester's games, after all the pain and loneliness, after all691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLR7chZJAsH
the deaths, David just wanted to blame someone. "Give back my life!" He691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo98cckkPtg
punched inside Jesters hood, meeting only air. "Give back my freedom!" 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡissItVXT7J
Another punch. "Give back my happiness!" Tears joined the third punch, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVHv2VkCgj
which was David's last as Jester started cackling and dissolved into 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WGNPvcM3I
mist.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTrleII7Lj
Jester's voice came from691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWGLSczgyD
behind. "Do you truly think, your misfortune sterns from me?" David 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpAGeJUVSR
could see surround shadows gathering around him. "What of everyone 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQpFSKEKLe
you've betrayed? People who would've called you their friend or lover. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIlnO686eQ
Killed or abandoned for coin or survival. The shadows seemed to be 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDukFJUBgE
creating a circle around Jester and David.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITKBiYeZF5
"You're lying to yourself. You..." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOpc1xDfl1
"Shut up!" David 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBRfL8f9GT
struggled to get up. "Shut your falling mouth. You don't know me, I 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76qVrx19IP
don't care if you're one of the five, or a demon, or a falling figment 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal5lCD4jo1
of my imagination only I know what or who I am!"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKZ0K4B9G5
Jester gave another 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9CFZmMIfo
laugh, a laugh that chilled David to the bone. Don't I? What makes you 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwZij2zAJZ
so sure? Or are you just trying to convince yourself because you're 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrsDeTSWII
afraid of the truth?" 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq8UqYIJky
"I'm not afraid,I'm..." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSn8DChc1S
"You're what? A 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAQIbOSI4b
despicable human being? True. A murderer, liar and cheat? Also correct. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO80LJU7RMH
But allow me to show you something, something that will make everything 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKybF2LCvx
you've done not matter." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoFwPRpuEe
The shadows completely 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIiagi8tEq
surrounded the two of them now. "Allow me to show you the why you're 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWNlyiAj2K
afraid. Allow me to show you why you forgot your childhood. Allow me 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mGtWcziyX
show you why this world needs to die." Jester put his hand over David's 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ulhW7qCH
eye and shadows swallowed him.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvzfZZnMHQ
Shadows parting, David 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU197ZMbZj
found himself in a room. Bottles and rubbish littering the floor. A 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr7834toK7
woman in the middle of the floor, flailing and screaming from pain. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUR051cG3A
David could see her so clearly as if he wasn't in the fade anymore. No 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxZ4gSjzn
more shadowy figures or echoes. Just an improvished room and David's 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayUZEamEu4
mother691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TFAQDfYM4
"This is my memory." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwXcybal2i
Jester said as he appeared besides David. "You claimed I don't know 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67qIjB8mAp
you, yet I might just be the person who knows you the most.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeMKCp7Q7r
David didn't reply to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZ8NSh8EsW
that. He just looked at the woman as various feelings rose within him. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL32TSQb3Nc
Love, longing, loneliness, but most of all hate.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VzRzoVqSa
Unaware of what was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BpaNrjzSV
inside David's mind, Jester continued. "From the time that you were 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCI1jf8dnQ
conceived, when your father raped your mother neither the first nor last691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha2cD9eDid
time. Your poor mother, she loved your father with all her heart, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZLRTNbek4
despite his many, many faults. It is rather amusing how such a man can 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDYHl8H0a9
find true love and yet you cannot." David didn't rise to the bait. "She 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgSSRMKh6o
tried getting rid of you, taking herbs and the like, it didn't work. She691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEsodgp3wL
was even tempted to stab herself in the stomach but she was too scared 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8UrFxXsAA
she would die. A running theme with you Oxthornes, fear of death."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTq0GYVbbs
Finally the screams of 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1NEYfG9Sr
pain were replaced by the screams of a baby. Whispers from the babies 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcmETmFOj7
mother reached David as if she was speaking to him. "Quiet, just stay 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9zjuxF0Vj
quiet. You ruined my life, he stopped loving me because of you. You. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNATN2Iwcb
You. You." The baby started crying louder, screeching the woman grabbed 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOyEfGNuV1
the baby's throat and squeezed.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi7P5nx5L1
David could feel his 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdLQC6PjS5
throat contract, the air trapped in his lungs, extending them beyond 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5LhCfD51W
their capacity. The shock made him go to his knee. "This is when you 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTk9LI0xuL
died." David could hear Jesters voice in the back of his head. Just as 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDiZhFJzlo
the room began spinning his breath and vision returned and the crying 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9INd97MOX
stopped.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkd3RDvCGl
"Oh, nonononono." The 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuMPcASSSI
woman wailed. She put the baby gently on the floor and started pushing 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsUvxA97DH
on its chest. Gently at first, and then with more distress. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp7fgINfTj
"You who were supposed 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvlXkIwwPE
to die, defied death." Thus the baby started crying again, weakly at 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN5R2SFMZH
first but then gained more vigor. "Yet by dying you became closer to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdTYWOqDIv
the etherworld, susceptible to its inhabitants." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4KSviqliZ
Coughing David stood up 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx7IsFUFJb
and looked at the mother and son figure...No he looked at him and his 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIQmtAVfh4
mother. David didn't want to believe this image, yet deep down he knew 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcsMIkrMxx
it was the truth. "Did...were you the one who brought me back?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUeW9zHh2V
"No, it was a small 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPDLhvrb4k
miracle, for all of us." David was unsure if he should believe Jester 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMGwC6QIMv
but before he could question it anymore his vision changed again.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U552AwAnf
He was staring at the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXzQ5R5XkJ
wom...his mummy. His mummy who loved him and took care of him, David was691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAkFkD1K7E
only good at one thing, getting in the way of his mummy's work. He 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS1S9Qh4Kq
learned to be quiet after the first few times she slapped him, he 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPImg4VUOen
deserved it because mummy did her best to provide for him and David was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvNiLyBNLt
just a useless existence, just like his mummy said.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MCatLTgSO
But today David got to be usefull. He had the opportunity to make his mummy proud and happy.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAfs3uITr9
"There you go, David." She said brushing his hair with her hand. "You will make mummy proud, won't you?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVycEIB3Go
"I will!" Came a squeaky691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcAgMkUUlZ
voice. "I will make you proud..est!" David said as he put a book down.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNcyStI3y5
David was unsure what the name or what the words inside said but it had691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JHiuLxDt2
pictures of flying ships and heroes, something he wanted to be when he 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8vPZ8zc0b
was an adult.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD49JWnwFwc
A knock came from a door691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu81ZID5RGI
and David's mummy went to answer it. She spoke to someone in hushed 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYHqWsjrzX
tones and then left the room without giving David a glance back. In her 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8Q1UE81Gn
stead a stranger came. David had never seen the man before and he was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NqT22PIvd
scared of strangers. Whenever a stranger came in with his mummy he was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs0dXxEHzB
supposed to be quiet otherwise he wouldn't get food and get slapped for 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfKZpn12wK
being a bad boy.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu61jARfSP
That's why he didn't 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nSwrf9Z6s
speak, didn't move, didn't look at the stranger. "Speak up boy, what's 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77PzVhtCaN
your name?" The man said in a haughty voice.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtUpSjRKwu
"D..david" the answer 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJbhOPNZKh
came in a whisper. The stranger grunted and came closer to David, moving691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMCE4xJfFQ
empty bottles with his boots. "I said speak up."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsamYAvRxtf
"David!" Came out the reply, which sounded too loud in David's ears.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLCehpA9m3
The man put his hands on691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPQe3KkV0q
Davids shoulders and smiled. "David? I'm David aswell, David Hozzelpoff691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2GuLTeVtp
to be exact. Do you recognize my name?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zmKmy0Sys
David meekly shook his 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45fI4HXk92
head and was shoved to the floor. David hit the floor hard, losing his 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUJzRljYSg
breath. "I am the greatest mind of this century!" He crouched down 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhGvKUkCeo
putting his face next to Davids. "Soon everyone will know my name, no 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzE7I9RvvF
matter what my colleagues say or what rumors they spread." He said but 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIYIdbbWcx
the anger was slowly leaving his voice. "You must understand, I'm not 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90X3aaSkAy
usually like this, but...but sometime you just reach that point. I'm a 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjq5fv2pcs
good man I have a bright future and sometimes you just need obstacles, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc87yeMFNyV
you are just that an obstacle that I must conquer." The man was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlssWZdps2
bubbling. Caressing Davids face with his hand, the other one moving down691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmVHqrNXxX
Davids body.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBVNT8XTax
Please don't. Came adult David's voice691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTUmgTZqY9
Young David was scared; 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWMOs8jVlI
he was used to beatings but not being touched in that way. He tried 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRDfmljlEt
wiggling away from the man pinned David down with his greater weight. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPPkzZq7pg
"Stop resisting." Derek hissed. "If everyone just didn't resist I 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDz0DRLde2
wouldn't be here I wouldn't need to do anything."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4VK2brVbO
Help me. Save me. Came the child and adult voice intermixed.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO6mIZuZIp
"Mummy, mummy!" David 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ppi2G3HWt
screamed, tears flowing, a feeling of wetness around his legs. Finally 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8UaNvj8nb
the man slammed his palm into Davids face. That stopped all resistance, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7EQOhPB84
after that day David liked to pretend that he lost consciousness, that 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40zJ9nJfhc
everything that happened was a nightmare, but deep down he knew better, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9WBe6QF6I
he knew that what he saw and felt was what had happened.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCYYssD7Ih
David didn't even know 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9H233JbtD
when the man finished, his mind was blank and when he came to he could 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUof2GLMD1J
see his mummy looking at him. She scoffed. "Clean yourself up, you're a 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM7VCzzhm6
mess. David tried crying but no tears came.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJVUNhGKUB
Suddenly the room shifted again and David himself as an adult again. "That was the first time it happened. One of many." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrzcxJYKXV
David could barely hear 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ964MGQku0K
jester, as all the memories came flowing back. It overwhelmed him and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoTUxt3XuA
the tears he couldn't find as a child freely flew out of him and he 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc6KdeyYkO
screamed into the void. Out of desperation, out of misery, out of pure 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0biDHNBiUb
anger. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CcU092ibP
"There are more 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUJu2FlLrM
memories. Let me know when you're ready." David looked at jester, whose 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLPGfOZxVY
form changed again. His hood was down but half of his face was covered 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7jI53n8M9
in a dark like substance. The other looked...looked like a normal adult 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4r3YA5lkt
male. David almost recognized it but couldn't quite place it.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cI3o8KGkJ
"What else is there to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72jpgjTDHQ
remember?" David asked as he got up. Jester just smiled. "Just indulge 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjW33lgk3W
me." Jester waved his hand again and David was standing in front of a 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzJV1AJiWA
mirror. He could see himself, a young teen. With dead eyes and bruises 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW12azWmxf5
all around his body. He looked at the glass shard in his hand. The blood691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0UMdeBaLU
that was spilling down his arm and hand was slowly dripping on the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPRB2e7vig
floor. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7CWYVTDt9
Even the pain didn't 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYHN1qvXjb
offer him solace, it used to be that the pain he inflicted on himself 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NYyOSgMBF
offered an escape, but no more. One flick of the shard though...and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6CZWVsf55
everything would be gone.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi6kfxYgQJ
~Just like that, give up691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IYwHfdaZG
end it all. No one will care. ~ That's right, no one cares. Mother is 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxxEM7G6fw
probably with some man, or trying to get someone who was willing to buy 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOi8E0DiY8
Davids body. Would she really mind if he died. He moved the shard closer691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgMXXfu7nO
to his neck, his pulse slowly beating. ~But...what if it gets better? 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02otJxcdD6
What if death only brings more pain?~ David paused. "Can't be much worse691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X3zw25CsO
than this."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ9vNV4fFm
~STOP! ~ David dropped 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXspNxHE7u
the shard as if burned. ~It will get better. Just survive. Have to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVhbgVf7gX
survive.~ David dropped on his knees. That's right all he had to is 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu32n9die5q
survive. Survive and live.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerU6R2kYps
Everything changed again and David could see his reflection. Scarred, rugged and haunted. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzamajyTfYv
" that voice, it was yours." More of a statement rather than a question. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq7oM4CQBv
"Indeed." Jester 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt2nHRmv1A
replied. David could actually hear his voice properly, without an echo 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqa7G1Fnzt
or any other effects. He never noticed it before but it did sound a lot 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h2r3uLhQF
like his own did.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71XqKzytB9
"Why did you try 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7xh8mAz7c
convincing me to kill myself and then stop me? Why not just let me do 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzPfChCq8t
it?" He said the last part in a whisper; his brain still trying to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRXEjTWYb1
process the influx of memories.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfksHOWRyy
"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,"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChjQMCsPqE
"You expect me to believe that?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMBap2bHzL
"Believe what you want."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GM0F0xDJe
"How many times? How many of my thoughts were mine?"691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUanVZw3ulf
Jester chuckled. "All of691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTV7BsjIsU
them really. To make sure you didn't notice anything was out of the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjzqpcmok9
ordinary I had to make it look like they were your thoughts."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCvtU8q58o
"That just 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmxe4ZI7YW
means..."David held his head and groaned in pain. "I'm so confused, in 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSoyoVFeQs
my memories it doesn't like you're trying to be subtle. What changed?691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH4hng87su
"It's related to the last memory, I'll show you if you're ready."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQVtw4jJHt
David nodded. "Do it."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPug3Ng7Ie
Everything shifted. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWxgw1nq6D
David was cleaning his 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKiy45xmLs
face, in his middle teens and miserable. He wasn't sure when this 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvw15IyVVs
grounded life started but it's been a long time now. He learned tricks 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe61QzdrgqJ
on how to make it easier for himself. By pretending the strangers were 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj9jy4LLuU
important he would save himself a lot of abuse, by guessing how they 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6crVS3uoaW
wanted him to act and acting that way they, sometimes, took pity. Of 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpyXuqzXWb
course not everyone cared; some still had fun abusing a young boy.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfuEZiolcL
His last one was just 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzRxVrUdwT
that an abuser. David touched his broken-again nose and the eye that was691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECF2xt8ttB
barely opening. The bitch would be angry again, his face was supposed 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrEBzeQpE7
to be without bruises. Her clients liked him more when he looked pure. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2NQ8Pqhay
Undamaged goods she loved to say.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMKsGZN0sG
Right on cue, David 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPKA6Z59Yu
could hear the bathroom door opening and she came in. Sneering she 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrjdVKCFRR
slapped David causing him to fall on the floor. "Stupid, idiot boy!" She691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXcG4L5teW
slurred. What a surprise the bitch was either drunk or drugged. "One 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwRSvY3wcg
thing, don't let them hit your face. And look at you! Useless!" She 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeClw49mvVC
shrieked and kicked David clumsily.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Uc8VhsUIb
Why was this his life? 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmNnQDl2th
Should he have taken his life, can he still do it? He looked at her and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCpzZLtNIS
she seems to have taken offense at that. She scratched at his face and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWluotqbG7
came down on him. "How dare you look at me with those eyes! They're his 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj2FhTtvYl
eyes! Someone like you doesn't deserve them!" She continued in a similar691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wjjwp3iS4
vein trying to get his eyes. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGKPYDpEml
~Enough David.~ A voice 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIwg0PcaiO
resounded in his head. David knew that voice, it was his only friend. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwa5UPVgt1
~Fight back.~ David faught against the urge and voice, after all it was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDNtURcyhb
still his mother. ~FIGHT BACK~ Finally David extended his arm with force691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBYFp9caB6
and met resistance.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzCEQolBlk
The scratching and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEv91RW6xL
shrieking stopped, he could see his mother on the floor, groaning, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFT2E8Sy2F
slowly getting up. Thinking quickly David grabbed a glass bottle and hit691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MqkIPi7y0
the bitch with it. Again and again until all that was left was a glass 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddpqWz3ron
shard and then he kept stabbing and screaming until his throat and hand 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2tIg6cO5Y
was raw. Once he couldn't hold the shard he stopped and laughed.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEMsZ1is6e
Oh god what did he do? 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCfrmpXX9j
This was his mummy, the one who always protected him, the one who would 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeURPUoeM4q
never abandon him a and he..he murdered her. But...no, no, no. She hated691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJkQPhk6nP
him did she? Yeah she was a bitch..NO..she was his mother. Was there a 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuBMC9OTU0
difference? David started crying and throwing up. He killed her, he 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPc0qHllJ8
killed her, he killed her. His head felt as it was going to burst, cries691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmokqTnar2
replaced the laughter as he rolled on the floor covering himself in 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr6zjDheGa
blood.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8FJBifBNy
~that's enough David. Forget, forget everything.~ 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ950Ilot8
There was a pause and everything quieted down.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFtcqHIENg
A boy named David just 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gSUJ8oPTZ
woke up. Surrounded by empty bottles and rubbish. David shrugged and 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgnjBKFBjR
winced. He was in pain did he fall? That would explain the blood all 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ZXLQy5Up
over him. Yes he fell and hurt himself. But what about the body...wait 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QYMvUAM99
what body? David looked around and couldn't see anyone else in the room691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZlOrKlQNL
besides him. Why did his head hurt? Why couldn't he remember what he 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcgXRBwE6j
was...oh that's right. He was going to become a hero and fly on a ship. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa4cHIkUq7
Yes, that's what he was about to do when he became all confused, how 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXw2LTViMY
silly of him.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG22NIlEeB2
Remembering his 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh3N29VskA
objective, David opened the door and left his old life behind. To enter 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitffT3ZcNC
his living room and find his dad, mum and brother sitting at a round 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnF4LBESnx
table preparing a meal. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibISHR2TBa
"There you are David!" 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ZObWCnOH
His dad said. "We've been waiting forever, come on I can't wait to start691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn5L8egV3u
eating!" He started hitting his utensils on the table. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxapQngapl
This isn't the truth.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JGPFZLBJR
David obligingly sat 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjHgmnae3B
down. "Oh stop, honey. You're going to give children bad manners." His 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ioTmXHMw
mum chided playfully. As she put the food on the table and ruffled his 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWj1MpOufa
brothers hair. Sitting down next to David and giving him a warm smile.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmxabk0LVQ
A dream, nothing else.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4903gaMAmm
They all thanked the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt5TAYLzEM
gods for what they had and started eating. Yes thankful for this happy, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5TCEOYk6q
oblivious life. Thankful for good and supportive parents. Thankful for 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DZNxG63Lf
this lie.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1JMW0phPT
A lie that has to end.691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm60BQcx7xo
David was standing at 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3gZ8WYxOt
the table.. He was sure this wasn't part of any memories, but he was 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNNrlVputV
sure that the boy was him, a happier more healthy him, and the woman was691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFhOVARzLg
his real mother or atleast someone who looked like her. While the 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7qAvSUx5O
brother and man? Something that might've happened if he was luckier? 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl02qTDLbe
Either way David hated 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUceDtzh7qu
this. Why, why, why, why didn't he get this happy blissful life. Why 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuk1i7x6Nq
didn't he get a father who would teach him to become a proper man, why 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT1whnW6EQ
didn't he get a mother who consoled him when he hurt? Why was he all 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tAN10Ubpb
alone, without a brother or any other sibling. Why does THIS pale 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1C22zp6L8
imitation of his deserves this good life, he'll never appreciate. Why 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKMfQ0undg
does anyone. When there's so many suffering why do only few deserve to 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru3YBUGua5
life this happy blissful life?691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyg94xYM9g
The answer was so simple691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhs10mXmif
that David almost laughed. It didn't come in a whisper by someone else,691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv7BT3TAlQ
it was his own and he fully knew it. They didn't, they didn't deserve 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4nGcY5BAF
this life, no one did. Thus there was only one solution to end it all, 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiElgs0XUYl
end all misery either present or one that will come in the future. 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEgK26ATQD
David decided to start 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj838pUufk
with this lie, he took the knife and plunged it into his young self. "No691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WGxwoIOLd
more lies." He took it out and stabbed his father. "No more regrets." 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NmRfolfPF
Next his brother. "No more tears." And finally he stabbed his own 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbZ4xwu2L5
mother. "No more mercy."691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTocGrHF1Je
With the last stab 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqqwQbTps1
everything fell apart piece by piece and David found himself staring at 691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV8tKcpOMX
his own shadowy reflection. The only thing surrounding them was the vast691Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J2umqjMhb
emptiness.
