Some of my colleagues 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEiC1MoS3X
believe that humans cannot repress memories. That memories which are 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdnfmga7VD
remembered with the help of someone are just implanted through 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzlDSsz9u4
suggestion or hypnosis.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy14IsYSZdG
551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyYfbZzQja
Utter none sense I say! In a world where551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3guiNy5OoX
ether exists, some find it hardest to believe that we humans can 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysi9es1OSp
repress our memories. Those scientists and professors are too arrogant 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1wXbYVF0e
to admit that we know nothing of the brain and what it can do. They want551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZLVrIrejC
me to prove without certainty of a doubt that humans can repress 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiMPvInyZq
memories. Well to that I say, I want them to prove that it cannot. For I551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF0KqpEA6T
am not arrogant enough to state I know everything about our brains 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVgSDeW8aR

David awakened. Not 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuQxE9ASSk
wanting to get up out of fear of the wounds and disfigurations he 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVXIA0vlqM
suffered. He closed his eyes. Ignoring reality, ignoring the inevitable,551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaaRsEs7Cz
ignoring the pain....wait. David risked moving his hands in front of 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLkFA8Wmh6
his face and all the fingers were there. Not only that his hands were 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AYaKCF5po
undamaged.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn5iUkJjzp
"Only your physical body551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwI6wfiGAM
was damaged, your ether form is safe." A voice broke David's 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dyQCcKpNH
concentration. "The only reason your eye is gone is because the blast of551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutU7LZkM2P
steam that burned your eye was full of ether."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI6QWjElMd
A shadowy form appeared.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOyurgJXnn
Jester. Instead of his form constantly shifting and his voice taking 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxKTDxGoq6
different intonations, Jester was only wearing a cloak over his body 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyHvKDKQVH
hiding any features. And his voice sounded...almost human.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dz7kGjgJr
"Long time no see, David. Well for you, I've been watching you for a while." Jester laughed as if he said something funny.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmIZ9Nqd31
"Am I in the...ether 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgxxytETkD
world again?" David asked looking around, seeing rocks flying around, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0X0NzbHXv
storms raging in the skies and shadows flickering in and out of life.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE06985S55
Jester clapped." Indeed! You are learning, maybe you won't be completely useless." 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzgGw90eGa
David was tired, too 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DcCSINxZw
tired for Jester. Even so he still stood up. "Jester can we...can we 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fiQZ2Xom9
just all this?" David waved his hands in the space between the two.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb11zzHaNM
The shadowy hood cocked 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6g57TZbI4
to a side. "Oh, that's just boring." David began a reply but Jester 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58wfD2JOQ0
interrupted him. "Very well, if it'll save me from your nagging. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq8ReeAktR
Knowing what's waiting for you in the real world, you'd think you'd be 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HTvgA4N1c
more grateful."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYnpranrjS
"I..."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgJXNiuLu6
"I went through all the trouble of getting you here. Hiding my presence from my brother and other mages. Honestly some people."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxe4mHqKpd
David groaned in 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILJcfe82ZX
annoyance. "I've just been tortured for the better part of my day. Even 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mGp8KsdSo
if my body isn't feeling it, my mind is. So if you can get to your 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuh8O3j4KC
falling point, that'd be fly."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVc5XnCP1S
Jester muttered something David couldn't hear. "Very well. What do you remember of your childhood?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNC9enf1xy
David was startled by the question "What does that have to do with anything?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ys3ZReNu
"Well it's the main point of my visit, and you did say you wanted to stop playing games. What about your mother.?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbERWh95mFt
A headache, feeling of resentment. "She's dead, or alive. I don't flying care."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFjL4U9v3X
"Have you ever wondered why you don't remember your childhood?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eIgGQA294
"How do you even..." Then David had a realization. "It was you? Were you the one who took my memory?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r1kFGw5rp
Jester giggled and put his hands up. "Guilty."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXJUQLrlex
David shouted and 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1G6TSIdmC
tackled the cloaked figure. His mind couldn't take it. After all that 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYCSU4dL3m
torture and Jester's games, after all the pain and loneliness, after all551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nCW0bhHBL
the deaths, David just wanted to blame someone. "Give back my life!" He551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWSYW1K876
punched inside Jesters hood, meeting only air. "Give back my freedom!" 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo0rn0EdrB
Another punch. "Give back my happiness!" Tears joined the third punch, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXzafAoNFs
which was David's last as Jester started cackling and dissolved into 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ya0k1cicf
mist.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3tWw6N253
Jester's voice came from551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMSIuOHcHn
behind. "Do you truly think, your misfortune sterns from me?" David 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4HKHPBj5j
could see surround shadows gathering around him. "What of everyone 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVUFD3b8yM
you've betrayed? People who would've called you their friend or lover. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicRM9mcZwU
Killed or abandoned for coin or survival. The shadows seemed to be 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXTct3AmsU
creating a circle around Jester and David.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnbPiJz6IF
"You're lying to yourself. You..." 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRtSoOgLHU
"Shut up!" David 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ZtCRzsyF
struggled to get up. "Shut your falling mouth. You don't know me, I 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV07NWxK4Q7
don't care if you're one of the five, or a demon, or a falling figment 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXnpdOpwwl
of my imagination only I know what or who I am!"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggjo2LtLFK
Jester gave another 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDcUrhiIAd
laugh, a laugh that chilled David to the bone. Don't I? What makes you 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTt9e4Uvna
so sure? Or are you just trying to convince yourself because you're 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sIkcGgWIM
afraid of the truth?" 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWWyJq6F9P
"I'm not afraid,I'm..." 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEFJiB6T0v
"You're what? A 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCwXKPZAFj
despicable human being? True. A murderer, liar and cheat? Also correct. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP6YWFaCzQ
But allow me to show you something, something that will make everything 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Ryvh2y5q
you've done not matter." 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoL0r2Surk
The shadows completely 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq80d4Akiq
surrounded the two of them now. "Allow me to show you the why you're 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROf7jko49G
afraid. Allow me to show you why you forgot your childhood. Allow me 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt5Aycnbdp
show you why this world needs to die." Jester put his hand over David's 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G3tAJGnQ4
eye and shadows swallowed him.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXboC4RtwLR
Shadows parting, David 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Ogp9pM48
found himself in a room. Bottles and rubbish littering the floor. A 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89iheC2K0b
woman in the middle of the floor, flailing and screaming from pain. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOkmJFr5Es
David could see her so clearly as if he wasn't in the fade anymore. No 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UauUwyagr
more shadowy figures or echoes. Just an improvished room and David's 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPUSnj8py9
mother551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAC4QoZNeV
"This is my memory." 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1w7PKbKvV
Jester said as he appeared besides David. "You claimed I don't know 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSqXskntoQ
you, yet I might just be the person who knows you the most.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgfXKrHs64
David didn't reply to 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2gI2W25PN
that. He just looked at the woman as various feelings rose within him. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Emzghaxe
Love, longing, loneliness, but most of all hate.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujkChBwv6X
Unaware of what was 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPk03lf88x
inside David's mind, Jester continued. "From the time that you were 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETYZJFTiEI
conceived, when your father raped your mother neither the first nor last551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe8rFbmatA
time. Your poor mother, she loved your father with all her heart, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi2aOPca0r
despite his many, many faults. It is rather amusing how such a man can 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsznludz3kS
find true love and yet you cannot." David didn't rise to the bait. "She 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sHn6asA8Z
tried getting rid of you, taking herbs and the like, it didn't work. She551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAUOmi264G
was even tempted to stab herself in the stomach but she was too scared 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaILR5nAP8v
she would die. A running theme with you Oxthornes, fear of death."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G3q6K0vID
Finally the screams of 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXa2g1abQT
pain were replaced by the screams of a baby. Whispers from the babies 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AwRyVderB
mother reached David as if she was speaking to him. "Quiet, just stay 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIaNU2Prb8
quiet. You ruined my life, he stopped loving me because of you. You. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Af2xUQZjO
You. You." The baby started crying louder, screeching the woman grabbed 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlEi8EV0Ed
the baby's throat and squeezed.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB9zd0sxPK
David could feel his 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gIkfJpdPk
throat contract, the air trapped in his lungs, extending them beyond 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURcjo8pAqn
their capacity. The shock made him go to his knee. "This is when you 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXvQKTC2yz
died." David could hear Jesters voice in the back of his head. Just as 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N2YBIAM8i
the room began spinning his breath and vision returned and the crying 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTracXGav0
stopped.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBsctkuJae
"Oh, nonononono." The 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJjSBvL7rI
woman wailed. She put the baby gently on the floor and started pushing 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykkZGNpjUv
on its chest. Gently at first, and then with more distress. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W6AKQ7nvM
"You who were supposed 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRcK20UB5H
to die, defied death." Thus the baby started crying again, weakly at 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRsxSM4yaA
first but then gained more vigor. "Yet by dying you became closer to 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hxUobteuT
the etherworld, susceptible to its inhabitants." 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmggSFn3rzG
Coughing David stood up 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI46qp6LS9
and looked at the mother and son figure...No he looked at him and his 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmtJBPSJQA
mother. David didn't want to believe this image, yet deep down he knew 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMEFFQ1Hd9
it was the truth. "Did...were you the one who brought me back?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQleE6YbnJ
"No, it was a small 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGfhQPSGrV
miracle, for all of us." David was unsure if he should believe Jester 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrOnXnmHTM
but before he could question it anymore his vision changed again.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr271YYTZ13
He was staring at the 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnzDtrQq7K
wom...his mummy. His mummy who loved him and took care of him, David was551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv5C0eFioi
only good at one thing, getting in the way of his mummy's work. He 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqaJjcf4AV
learned to be quiet after the first few times she slapped him, he 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEAOhdT6TS
deserved it because mummy did her best to provide for him and David was 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqp4RN85uX
just a useless existence, just like his mummy said.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet0lOhsBts
But today David got to be usefull. He had the opportunity to make his mummy proud and happy.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qZhgevPh6
"There you go, David." She said brushing his hair with her hand. "You will make mummy proud, won't you?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE0z2BToKe
"I will!" Came a squeaky551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcxS3i6q2i
voice. "I will make you proud..est!" David said as he put a book down.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaeC1b33S3
David was unsure what the name or what the words inside said but it had551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDsO47bEMl
pictures of flying ships and heroes, something he wanted to be when he 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV16ttj3Siw
was an adult.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop8BbY2R6n
A knock came from a door551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQby4Q3gKn
and David's mummy went to answer it. She spoke to someone in hushed 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHSStJi3GH
tones and then left the room without giving David a glance back. In her 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb5gouSBwt
stead a stranger came. David had never seen the man before and he was 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXZFNHOvOP
scared of strangers. Whenever a stranger came in with his mummy he was 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvTeF8mXhr
supposed to be quiet otherwise he wouldn't get food and get slapped for 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBseVfJT9v
being a bad boy.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu00jAuQlNz
That's why he didn't 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NlpEjslI1
speak, didn't move, didn't look at the stranger. "Speak up boy, what's 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwqhK95yDb
your name?" The man said in a haughty voice.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtla9T20Ju0
"D..david" the answer 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6tBSgEsCu
came in a whisper. The stranger grunted and came closer to David, moving551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxnCribHQ
empty bottles with his boots. "I said speak up."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11j8VqRZtL
"David!" Came out the reply, which sounded too loud in David's ears.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKc1iqGmXz
The man put his hands on551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOYxp7QCr4
Davids shoulders and smiled. "David? I'm David aswell, David Hozzelpoff551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Z6YKdiaU
to be exact. Do you recognize my name?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXCkWOkwWw
David meekly shook his 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0CpI8uq0F
head and was shoved to the floor. David hit the floor hard, losing his 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcdICvaAtg
breath. "I am the greatest mind of this century!" He crouched down 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz3nINARdT
putting his face next to Davids. "Soon everyone will know my name, no 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCf7vsTYTC
matter what my colleagues say or what rumors they spread." He said but 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq2oIvMQdk
the anger was slowly leaving his voice. "You must understand, I'm not 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz1QY2ny1q
usually like this, but...but sometime you just reach that point. I'm a 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg8X8qz4zT
good man I have a bright future and sometimes you just need obstacles, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1aqY0akPO
you are just that an obstacle that I must conquer." The man was 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDJpEplTg0
bubbling. Caressing Davids face with his hand, the other one moving down551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJunGJIBSY
Davids body.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10EQgH5LjU
Please don't. Came adult David's voice551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29qq1bzZLS
Young David was scared; 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFPi5ZFoMb
he was used to beatings but not being touched in that way. He tried 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb8ENU5kPt
wiggling away from the man pinned David down with his greater weight. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvq8Pz1BJa
"Stop resisting." Derek hissed. "If everyone just didn't resist I 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZOrW7qgWx
wouldn't be here I wouldn't need to do anything."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOy5luaFGs
Help me. Save me. Came the child and adult voice intermixed.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoNdAD6sQh
"Mummy, mummy!" David 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk23ujYK9F5
screamed, tears flowing, a feeling of wetness around his legs. Finally 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga3sSwQ551
the man slammed his palm into Davids face. That stopped all resistance, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPNpjqTzjt
after that day David liked to pretend that he lost consciousness, that 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalL5BCZLlx
everything that happened was a nightmare, but deep down he knew better, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6os7Z39El
he knew that what he saw and felt was what had happened.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgGxyTq48i
David didn't even know 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2tglB3lm7
when the man finished, his mind was blank and when he came to he could 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnoPTRcl2s
see his mummy looking at him. She scoffed. "Clean yourself up, you're a 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29zDYjhgfE
mess. David tried crying but no tears came.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqru2pJfDF0
Suddenly the room shifted again and David himself as an adult again. "That was the first time it happened. One of many." 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s6JLJ3E1e
David could barely hear 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1mgmKQD0D
jester, as all the memories came flowing back. It overwhelmed him and 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPsxR0o0UU
the tears he couldn't find as a child freely flew out of him and he 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9PbvfNGAs
screamed into the void. Out of desperation, out of misery, out of pure 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvuFqw4AVK
anger. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5rIsxywVa
"There are more 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EUhO3ZD0Y
memories. Let me know when you're ready." David looked at jester, whose 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9JXcSYZjv
form changed again. His hood was down but half of his face was covered 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpj04QIPQj
in a dark like substance. The other looked...looked like a normal adult 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpe9CPEA6c
male. David almost recognized it but couldn't quite place it.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG70AhCHCIZ
"What else is there to 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HBUA6n2dV
remember?" David asked as he got up. Jester just smiled. "Just indulge 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcwMXzuRw9
me." Jester waved his hand again and David was standing in front of a 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtuuVlav1D
mirror. He could see himself, a young teen. With dead eyes and bruises 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq8rbd4h5J
all around his body. He looked at the glass shard in his hand. The blood551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M20WBzR29
that was spilling down his arm and hand was slowly dripping on the 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtORWBEEaFT
floor. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksC4lRED5p
Even the pain didn't 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRimA4MDuO
offer him solace, it used to be that the pain he inflicted on himself 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V99YJrykb
offered an escape, but no more. One flick of the shard though...and 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v54YHE5k7
everything would be gone.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5gta0V6HD
~Just like that, give up551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUOhqAQV0j
end it all. No one will care. ~ That's right, no one cares. Mother is 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rZ1e7S5IV
probably with some man, or trying to get someone who was willing to buy 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON3RgNKiO9
Davids body. Would she really mind if he died. He moved the shard closer551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR36goxUq2a
to his neck, his pulse slowly beating. ~But...what if it gets better? 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdhkJhY9Fk
What if death only brings more pain?~ David paused. "Can't be much worse551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1kltjSyzc
than this."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdiZf9wyC0
~STOP! ~ David dropped 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMspq4V4tn
the shard as if burned. ~It will get better. Just survive. Have to 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw0q7thMZ1
survive.~ David dropped on his knees. That's right all he had to is 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCI8GnhLNn
survive. Survive and live.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMGWd8gd75
Everything changed again and David could see his reflection. Scarred, rugged and haunted. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR7jXR0p9G
" that voice, it was yours." More of a statement rather than a question. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkrDmsEYAT
"Indeed." Jester 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbSO5tUV0K
replied. David could actually hear his voice properly, without an echo 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejLHsvHUjc
or any other effects. He never noticed it before but it did sound a lot 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBy7QQpnZh
like his own did.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAsiRDEikw
"Why did you try 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdmxAMQAPX
convincing me to kill myself and then stop me? Why not just let me do 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ZdKpSkYj
it?" He said the last part in a whisper; his brain still trying to 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwxBGIRK2e
process the influx of memories.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSi66YjDUw
"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,"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSLwO1mIFP
"You expect me to believe that?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkHQzApEOD
"Believe what you want."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJeFybEmm2
"How many times? How many of my thoughts were mine?"551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9FTwzAcPD
Jester chuckled. "All of551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x66KhTsqx
them really. To make sure you didn't notice anything was out of the 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvJgWmPAMV
ordinary I had to make it look like they were your thoughts."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGnQzFzLXq
"That just 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZn4sNTItI
means..."David held his head and groaned in pain. "I'm so confused, in 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcR1PdIBFB
my memories it doesn't like you're trying to be subtle. What changed?551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrukZclSclX
"It's related to the last memory, I'll show you if you're ready."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIPDrDR4xg
David nodded. "Do it."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t9GJw42r0
Everything shifted. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF8Ube7eOp
David was cleaning his 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqNQvllSB6
face, in his middle teens and miserable. He wasn't sure when this 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5CTJpP3x
grounded life started but it's been a long time now. He learned tricks 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfiVkjtaae
on how to make it easier for himself. By pretending the strangers were 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzCIFIxKMo
important he would save himself a lot of abuse, by guessing how they 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlD0YtT9gw
wanted him to act and acting that way they, sometimes, took pity. Of 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6RivPNF71
course not everyone cared; some still had fun abusing a young boy.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6LJjoB1Zi
His last one was just 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPRGZilG5b
that an abuser. David touched his broken-again nose and the eye that was551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQxN5sMu8b
barely opening. The bitch would be angry again, his face was supposed 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRf4C6y59t
to be without bruises. Her clients liked him more when he looked pure. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aPHbnauzP
Undamaged goods she loved to say.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa302AeTz1m
Right on cue, David 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg4hSrBRD1
could hear the bathroom door opening and she came in. Sneering she 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HyeqE0ssS
slapped David causing him to fall on the floor. "Stupid, idiot boy!" She551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkMx8z8Xp5
slurred. What a surprise the bitch was either drunk or drugged. "One 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuOZZVD4vi
thing, don't let them hit your face. And look at you! Useless!" She 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzVWdykjYG
shrieked and kicked David clumsily.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaoVonNRaU
Why was this his life? 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QoCeKVQsM
Should he have taken his life, can he still do it? He looked at her and 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0rPoGYvYd
she seems to have taken offense at that. She scratched at his face and 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0B6QRFFqr
came down on him. "How dare you look at me with those eyes! They're his 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKCJYBlXPb
eyes! Someone like you doesn't deserve them!" She continued in a similar551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVqRGIq3U4
vein trying to get his eyes. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyjZtvVgsp
~Enough David.~ A voice 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bu9gjDcsv
resounded in his head. David knew that voice, it was his only friend. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSmwCazcaJ
~Fight back.~ David faught against the urge and voice, after all it was 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQxGDG7GiC
still his mother. ~FIGHT BACK~ Finally David extended his arm with force551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj5C5ribkA
and met resistance.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwxyS1h5Cp
The scratching and 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRz26L4ews
shrieking stopped, he could see his mother on the floor, groaning, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9kLW4DqzJ
slowly getting up. Thinking quickly David grabbed a glass bottle and hit551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7EAmzDypj
the bitch with it. Again and again until all that was left was a glass 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QayPDxGTe
shard and then he kept stabbing and screaming until his throat and hand 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTSzuyuhdf
was raw. Once he couldn't hold the shard he stopped and laughed.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAMAYG2NpP
Oh god what did he do? 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy8iqZmehl
This was his mummy, the one who always protected him, the one who would 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoqgTRUjVh
never abandon him a and he..he murdered her. But...no, no, no. She hated551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoTFjZMNum
him did she? Yeah she was a bitch..NO..she was his mother. Was there a 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP66P96PnkX
difference? David started crying and throwing up. He killed her, he 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuKxXI4Fwp
killed her, he killed her. His head felt as it was going to burst, cries551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KNv53nXtV
replaced the laughter as he rolled on the floor covering himself in 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6RLzmgGqA
blood.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m0znN6Ory
~that's enough David. Forget, forget everything.~ 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoVRRSKoiB
There was a pause and everything quieted down.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDQz6bc2CY
A boy named David just 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOSILSsUK8
woke up. Surrounded by empty bottles and rubbish. David shrugged and 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU76duWRvwh
winced. He was in pain did he fall? That would explain the blood all 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNHpWRsU3i
over him. Yes he fell and hurt himself. But what about the body...wait 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c9jPSLeMm
what body? David looked around and couldn't see anyone else in the room551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzJhnrbQA7
besides him. Why did his head hurt? Why couldn't he remember what he 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV69I36eVBy
was...oh that's right. He was going to become a hero and fly on a ship. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMOeEOdT12
Yes, that's what he was about to do when he became all confused, how 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRNfcODy5O
silly of him.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObQftptZ1v
Remembering his 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORIJHx3uNU
objective, David opened the door and left his old life behind. To enter 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmZkDwIW1w
his living room and find his dad, mum and brother sitting at a round 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g7NHkYUbV
table preparing a meal. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKQH6SyYUF
"There you are David!" 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAQn5kupG5
His dad said. "We've been waiting forever, come on I can't wait to start551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgri3vJ7s7
eating!" He started hitting his utensils on the table. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziHTw9yAcF
This isn't the truth.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Ev0oHYtn
David obligingly sat 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdycPkC5ij
down. "Oh stop, honey. You're going to give children bad manners." His 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EYGjLbTEK
mum chided playfully. As she put the food on the table and ruffled his 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61qOri87RD
brothers hair. Sitting down next to David and giving him a warm smile.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xp7WZ238f
A dream, nothing else.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRHtGMcBFh
They all thanked the 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBf5MuZBFB
gods for what they had and started eating. Yes thankful for this happy, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS93SzoSuQP
oblivious life. Thankful for good and supportive parents. Thankful for 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59MTjp4K48
this lie.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywz7tD5CRj
A lie that has to end.551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2i3raL1ck
David was standing at 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fME7flRrM
the table.. He was sure this wasn't part of any memories, but he was 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy6WAhlf5S
sure that the boy was him, a happier more healthy him, and the woman was551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2DL7y3jmT
his real mother or atleast someone who looked like her. While the 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeh6GbwPJJ
brother and man? Something that might've happened if he was luckier? 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlse7qo4fQ
Either way David hated 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkIOyAezex
this. Why, why, why, why didn't he get this happy blissful life. Why 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QUla8SQll
didn't he get a father who would teach him to become a proper man, why 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU30NgpHy7
didn't he get a mother who consoled him when he hurt? Why was he all 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej1uKmBEY6
alone, without a brother or any other sibling. Why does THIS pale 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XxOzBgccL
imitation of his deserves this good life, he'll never appreciate. Why 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7NCgBHwkU
does anyone. When there's so many suffering why do only few deserve to 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslpppuMgRL
life this happy blissful life?551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QKlOUvJC8
The answer was so simple551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0V8NXiW2r
that David almost laughed. It didn't come in a whisper by someone else,551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkAAJ89Osm
it was his own and he fully knew it. They didn't, they didn't deserve 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXghvEC2YI
this life, no one did. Thus there was only one solution to end it all, 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjnNm426YF
end all misery either present or one that will come in the future. 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt84vSp4h2
David decided to start 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUoQ5U8e14
with this lie, he took the knife and plunged it into his young self. "No551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i5OioU3eI
more lies." He took it out and stabbed his father. "No more regrets." 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTVVq1xeM5
Next his brother. "No more tears." And finally he stabbed his own 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuIL9ih7Zu
mother. "No more mercy."551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuqUiUyzRW
With the last stab 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mpRTBYUap
everything fell apart piece by piece and David found himself staring at 551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcArvSYpLNu
his own shadowy reflection. The only thing surrounding them was the vast551Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJcDfUhB0W
emptiness.
