Some of my colleagues 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEeOO6pVMn
believe that humans cannot repress memories. That memories which are 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTAyY8CA1n
remembered with the help of someone are just implanted through 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdzM4Afqa1
suggestion or hypnosis.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLA8pYPpp7
616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfTxggfwVU
Utter none sense I say! In a world where616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5IsOqRPRx
ether exists, some find it hardest to believe that we humans can 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Zzzc2qip
repress our memories. Those scientists and professors are too arrogant 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QayUBc7xO
to admit that we know nothing of the brain and what it can do. They want616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBuz1O0Gbe
me to prove without certainty of a doubt that humans can repress 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4CL6e0JUE
memories. Well to that I say, I want them to prove that it cannot. For I616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaND0UV3y4
am not arrogant enough to state I know everything about our brains 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX6Pof5vsp

David awakened. Not 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGnuW6avcW
wanting to get up out of fear of the wounds and disfigurations he 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0HSTa4sh9
suffered. He closed his eyes. Ignoring reality, ignoring the inevitable,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90NWFp6IB9
ignoring the pain....wait. David risked moving his hands in front of 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4dvpBgF4f
his face and all the fingers were there. Not only that his hands were 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH8PKbMAmA
undamaged.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQkJVqfT1r
"Only your physical body616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNOrTnko78
was damaged, your ether form is safe." A voice broke David's 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3LdLGz4i4
concentration. "The only reason your eye is gone is because the blast of616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLSqz1BGIB
steam that burned your eye was full of ether."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VUsrouUlA
A shadowy form appeared.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ypjfGdNJ
Jester. Instead of his form constantly shifting and his voice taking 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeznagxvPdC
different intonations, Jester was only wearing a cloak over his body 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZAetfer0y
hiding any features. And his voice sounded...almost human.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHzzhkdBqc
"Long time no see, David. Well for you, I've been watching you for a while." Jester laughed as if he said something funny.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov6dDFsmiL
"Am I in the...ether 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sok2a2A73
world again?" David asked looking around, seeing rocks flying around, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7HJgNiYNf
storms raging in the skies and shadows flickering in and out of life.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwPVrdqNrh
Jester clapped." Indeed! You are learning, maybe you won't be completely useless." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z5yLEBVE2
David was tired, too 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevoMtHRNu3
tired for Jester. Even so he still stood up. "Jester can we...can we 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpO6axclGo
just all this?" David waved his hands in the space between the two.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3GLsPF9nx
The shadowy hood cocked 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm39pU6Xvxp
to a side. "Oh, that's just boring." David began a reply but Jester 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZXJ4eSlUk
interrupted him. "Very well, if it'll save me from your nagging. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2GAJTEeJ9
Knowing what's waiting for you in the real world, you'd think you'd be 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaxgw5adek
more grateful."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2R0stIVKN
"I..."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvb1CTPPig
"I went through all the trouble of getting you here. Hiding my presence from my brother and other mages. Honestly some people."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeSkXahl3V
David groaned in 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hG8BHeSac
annoyance. "I've just been tortured for the better part of my day. Even 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4NQacEQ6h
if my body isn't feeling it, my mind is. So if you can get to your 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjK0y2Fz1o
falling point, that'd be fly."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ7fTHaTm8
Jester muttered something David couldn't hear. "Very well. What do you remember of your childhood?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTQsv7Vv4e
David was startled by the question "What does that have to do with anything?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsULienzYNi
"Well it's the main point of my visit, and you did say you wanted to stop playing games. What about your mother.?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRDGOtEMls
A headache, feeling of resentment. "She's dead, or alive. I don't flying care."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWgbdjQnDm
"Have you ever wondered why you don't remember your childhood?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqR55D6DUC
"How do you even..." Then David had a realization. "It was you? Were you the one who took my memory?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSr252DXqV
Jester giggled and put his hands up. "Guilty."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvrZhdWrQT
David shouted and 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1yHys2CQ9
tackled the cloaked figure. His mind couldn't take it. After all that 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4751iFa51c
torture and Jester's games, after all the pain and loneliness, after all616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs7ZCrobcB
the deaths, David just wanted to blame someone. "Give back my life!" He616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQUoROmiZ3
punched inside Jesters hood, meeting only air. "Give back my freedom!" 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUxQYNFWCd
Another punch. "Give back my happiness!" Tears joined the third punch, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q6I4HlM8w
which was David's last as Jester started cackling and dissolved into 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRbHOuFdIO
mist.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZSz8CTrEy
Jester's voice came from616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1pIIwuOIt
behind. "Do you truly think, your misfortune sterns from me?" David 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gkMRGqR2l
could see surround shadows gathering around him. "What of everyone 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw83MdpmaP6
you've betrayed? People who would've called you their friend or lover. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eK0PI1KTL
Killed or abandoned for coin or survival. The shadows seemed to be 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckwzg9VrGG
creating a circle around Jester and David.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppTyvcOb3k
"You're lying to yourself. You..." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ucydwjihJ
"Shut up!" David 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfncbzo4obv
struggled to get up. "Shut your falling mouth. You don't know me, I 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5HgdR8T7a
don't care if you're one of the five, or a demon, or a falling figment 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhHTOFBYQ9
of my imagination only I know what or who I am!"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7zsQ1Xc3I
Jester gave another 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOotAAZIYwL
laugh, a laugh that chilled David to the bone. Don't I? What makes you 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAHYaU4lAk
so sure? Or are you just trying to convince yourself because you're 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClHlIqhq0Y
afraid of the truth?" 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkO41dsTMy
"I'm not afraid,I'm..." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Y9BooYtA
"You're what? A 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm5Bup5DfV
despicable human being? True. A murderer, liar and cheat? Also correct. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q9SjmehGv
But allow me to show you something, something that will make everything 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakncmEIO3p
you've done not matter." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlHTZNH0mL
The shadows completely 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxeOR0Uarj
surrounded the two of them now. "Allow me to show you the why you're 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXHyViR9XA
afraid. Allow me to show you why you forgot your childhood. Allow me 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29v7oDuwEZ
show you why this world needs to die." Jester put his hand over David's 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnZ4qzPXHA
eye and shadows swallowed him.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKEQcMAo7z
Shadows parting, David 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrO4mP5c10
found himself in a room. Bottles and rubbish littering the floor. A 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRwnmsIvMs
woman in the middle of the floor, flailing and screaming from pain. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKmLPwb5Zn
David could see her so clearly as if he wasn't in the fade anymore. No 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUjpEDdi9s
more shadowy figures or echoes. Just an improvished room and David's 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4hnj2ANJ3
mother616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukyiK8rCs9
"This is my memory." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCppfRutLbB
Jester said as he appeared besides David. "You claimed I don't know 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrq0HtDTIJ
you, yet I might just be the person who knows you the most.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaYTIuEPpn
David didn't reply to 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVGyDCRteQ
that. He just looked at the woman as various feelings rose within him. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMmp5MeNDm
Love, longing, loneliness, but most of all hate.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfGKqRHHBR
Unaware of what was 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRyMRg0Ht7
inside David's mind, Jester continued. "From the time that you were 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7fPwIJlZW
conceived, when your father raped your mother neither the first nor last616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kvi16fyWo
time. Your poor mother, she loved your father with all her heart, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfqF6HnN3w
despite his many, many faults. It is rather amusing how such a man can 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlnPguyVbu
find true love and yet you cannot." David didn't rise to the bait. "She 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gCPj7E1FP
tried getting rid of you, taking herbs and the like, it didn't work. She616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqv4xjZ6mu
was even tempted to stab herself in the stomach but she was too scared 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVpTuktDY8
she would die. A running theme with you Oxthornes, fear of death."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJUhQeqRRk
Finally the screams of 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAz3pve3mc
pain were replaced by the screams of a baby. Whispers from the babies 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8p67JBtCd
mother reached David as if she was speaking to him. "Quiet, just stay 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURwVPBHPnX
quiet. You ruined my life, he stopped loving me because of you. You. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfzpj6mR5t
You. You." The baby started crying louder, screeching the woman grabbed 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPFv2KSCKW
the baby's throat and squeezed.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHTeSzmEdR
David could feel his 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2mNLegZjc
throat contract, the air trapped in his lungs, extending them beyond 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FW5QvkajJ
their capacity. The shock made him go to his knee. "This is when you 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmgWt86dYi
died." David could hear Jesters voice in the back of his head. Just as 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4PIZxCMmT
the room began spinning his breath and vision returned and the crying 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aeRcQeLQc
stopped.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0ui0UGgDE
"Oh, nonononono." The 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGxuY8lGuE
woman wailed. She put the baby gently on the floor and started pushing 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY5HXVBnt1
on its chest. Gently at first, and then with more distress. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgsSlT7kI0
"You who were supposed 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYcUYIxZqU
to die, defied death." Thus the baby started crying again, weakly at 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuqaZgYNlV
first but then gained more vigor. "Yet by dying you became closer to 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AhKcjXlC0
the etherworld, susceptible to its inhabitants." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6Or1sIrIE
Coughing David stood up 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp89Od9iHB
and looked at the mother and son figure...No he looked at him and his 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNksQZsCeQf
mother. David didn't want to believe this image, yet deep down he knew 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixqiZ926qj
it was the truth. "Did...were you the one who brought me back?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDF87dZ81X
"No, it was a small 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xiZPBvdKh
miracle, for all of us." David was unsure if he should believe Jester 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Dx4uRri8
but before he could question it anymore his vision changed again.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbkXmMMWO7
He was staring at the 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFlwQH3rub
wom...his mummy. His mummy who loved him and took care of him, David was616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsAEeZTn5R
only good at one thing, getting in the way of his mummy's work. He 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDqpEm2ycQ
learned to be quiet after the first few times she slapped him, he 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRiWRVWodc
deserved it because mummy did her best to provide for him and David was 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpVuY6MQLW
just a useless existence, just like his mummy said.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJKHT5zOnG
But today David got to be usefull. He had the opportunity to make his mummy proud and happy.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh56WyfJCux
"There you go, David." She said brushing his hair with her hand. "You will make mummy proud, won't you?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzyOPq3iNE
"I will!" Came a squeaky616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpFKpNqhWw
voice. "I will make you proud..est!" David said as he put a book down.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFT3QREQIv
David was unsure what the name or what the words inside said but it had616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMyd6012WQ
pictures of flying ships and heroes, something he wanted to be when he 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t9zch354i
was an adult.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkUCiTAgWC
A knock came from a door616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn0gZfiVy5
and David's mummy went to answer it. She spoke to someone in hushed 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljBSLA4aio
tones and then left the room without giving David a glance back. In her 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxmnh609TD
stead a stranger came. David had never seen the man before and he was 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAk6Qiwdsb
scared of strangers. Whenever a stranger came in with his mummy he was 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs3nAZUgiN
supposed to be quiet otherwise he wouldn't get food and get slapped for 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x3KLVxpqp
being a bad boy.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTICsHJDdbJ
That's why he didn't 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWVO6LUEdp
speak, didn't move, didn't look at the stranger. "Speak up boy, what's 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVIWJ8YWJj
your name?" The man said in a haughty voice.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnL1T1o1Jz
"D..david" the answer 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS7EdzB9Vl
came in a whisper. The stranger grunted and came closer to David, moving616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JmFM9Tb4H
empty bottles with his boots. "I said speak up."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUz9nqACvs
"David!" Came out the reply, which sounded too loud in David's ears.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC1JM6tyZL
The man put his hands on616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwZreSVd8w
Davids shoulders and smiled. "David? I'm David aswell, David Hozzelpoff616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz620XQYTb5
to be exact. Do you recognize my name?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9D3O5U4dH
David meekly shook his 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH2oB8uVMo
head and was shoved to the floor. David hit the floor hard, losing his 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oD2Xs2ihY
breath. "I am the greatest mind of this century!" He crouched down 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5taTTE6YUG
putting his face next to Davids. "Soon everyone will know my name, no 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXiFhAtcUw
matter what my colleagues say or what rumors they spread." He said but 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo7DM3ljKw
the anger was slowly leaving his voice. "You must understand, I'm not 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DjL10qNSO
usually like this, but...but sometime you just reach that point. I'm a 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRZXmMRwUR
good man I have a bright future and sometimes you just need obstacles, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhCq4uANo2
you are just that an obstacle that I must conquer." The man was 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOhUrifZd2
bubbling. Caressing Davids face with his hand, the other one moving down616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYADYJ5XDx
Davids body.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VvfxrwJrk
Please don't. Came adult David's voice616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxhvANZ3jr
Young David was scared; 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26vWM34pmZ
he was used to beatings but not being touched in that way. He tried 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzZX5xFwIg
wiggling away from the man pinned David down with his greater weight. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsoWfbauci
"Stop resisting." Derek hissed. "If everyone just didn't resist I 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5DU7hZqyp
wouldn't be here I wouldn't need to do anything."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGoU4pmB2p
Help me. Save me. Came the child and adult voice intermixed.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc4A8kXj7W
"Mummy, mummy!" David 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oNSEkoo9y
screamed, tears flowing, a feeling of wetness around his legs. Finally 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJyv2M5Kg6
the man slammed his palm into Davids face. That stopped all resistance, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiQ9c4otgn
after that day David liked to pretend that he lost consciousness, that 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNAMqYjTLb
everything that happened was a nightmare, but deep down he knew better, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19lMMvMEM9
he knew that what he saw and felt was what had happened.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQPIpoXapQ
David didn't even know 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU4h31v6cX
when the man finished, his mind was blank and when he came to he could 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcMicxgRbi
see his mummy looking at him. She scoffed. "Clean yourself up, you're a 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHmwaBHx4J
mess. David tried crying but no tears came.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDPyzWK9h1
Suddenly the room shifted again and David himself as an adult again. "That was the first time it happened. One of many." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpb2TlvIUx
David could barely hear 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujMHtU3grC
jester, as all the memories came flowing back. It overwhelmed him and 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHFiW3vhHT
the tears he couldn't find as a child freely flew out of him and he 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMIVj1fTwp
screamed into the void. Out of desperation, out of misery, out of pure 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8S8oGlM4Q
anger. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNr9Voi1QA
"There are more 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIC4OCWYyG
memories. Let me know when you're ready." David looked at jester, whose 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv556MjdWnD
form changed again. His hood was down but half of his face was covered 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCrnvH974l
in a dark like substance. The other looked...looked like a normal adult 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjMJZDYHZe
male. David almost recognized it but couldn't quite place it.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iOAQTXx9R
"What else is there to 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiZf4ghW08
remember?" David asked as he got up. Jester just smiled. "Just indulge 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VWbE83utF
me." Jester waved his hand again and David was standing in front of a 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MmuydVTgi
mirror. He could see himself, a young teen. With dead eyes and bruises 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vLULfU4ZJ
all around his body. He looked at the glass shard in his hand. The blood616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcF1o1pskC
that was spilling down his arm and hand was slowly dripping on the 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4tAJji0xp
floor. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJVrNB78Mb
Even the pain didn't 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQh82TaGHL
offer him solace, it used to be that the pain he inflicted on himself 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CUJMEbBfm
offered an escape, but no more. One flick of the shard though...and 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ647HjTmq8v
everything would be gone.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXgZA89zCG
~Just like that, give up616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKipyUZrQNh
end it all. No one will care. ~ That's right, no one cares. Mother is 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoYU7w4Woc
probably with some man, or trying to get someone who was willing to buy 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqsoFRRQRs
Davids body. Would she really mind if he died. He moved the shard closer616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmPTE3QMY0
to his neck, his pulse slowly beating. ~But...what if it gets better? 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZohAM4JrW
What if death only brings more pain?~ David paused. "Can't be much worse616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ynQVfqgoq
than this."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLnRHworcw
~STOP! ~ David dropped 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCpM0Imvid
the shard as if burned. ~It will get better. Just survive. Have to 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygMGLwIjYX
survive.~ David dropped on his knees. That's right all he had to is 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjKEEuJFL3
survive. Survive and live.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM2IZn3tRH
Everything changed again and David could see his reflection. Scarred, rugged and haunted. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlSUmOYUgN
" that voice, it was yours." More of a statement rather than a question. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdEWkXjG91
"Indeed." Jester 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qsm06IXlM
replied. David could actually hear his voice properly, without an echo 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIGjYyuluy
or any other effects. He never noticed it before but it did sound a lot 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I92VudMAw
like his own did.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtk1UxzzIJ
"Why did you try 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRYZy4Fezj
convincing me to kill myself and then stop me? Why not just let me do 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIUNLSL0Y9
it?" He said the last part in a whisper; his brain still trying to 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3CyKoyc5X
process the influx of memories.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucPaDoT4py
"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,"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzni2X6Kjg
"You expect me to believe that?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpLiw1VVnT
"Believe what you want."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsEfvx1pHS
"How many times? How many of my thoughts were mine?"616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMkHZZBB1e
Jester chuckled. "All of616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDf40NGqpE
them really. To make sure you didn't notice anything was out of the 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEBN1r4AWx
ordinary I had to make it look like they were your thoughts."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxecTJ92GV0
"That just 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH63tvoDms7
means..."David held his head and groaned in pain. "I'm so confused, in 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbd19Lo6Wsn
my memories it doesn't like you're trying to be subtle. What changed?616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBERGs1OxX
"It's related to the last memory, I'll show you if you're ready."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFb8MOSa7m
David nodded. "Do it."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBWzuyhabj
Everything shifted. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbpN7mqlBs
David was cleaning his 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA46f2jHcL
face, in his middle teens and miserable. He wasn't sure when this 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFl0KFKZ0m
grounded life started but it's been a long time now. He learned tricks 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EmittwHCG
on how to make it easier for himself. By pretending the strangers were 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyntUVPfzbJ
important he would save himself a lot of abuse, by guessing how they 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw67LL55C7D
wanted him to act and acting that way they, sometimes, took pity. Of 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvhjsas719
course not everyone cared; some still had fun abusing a young boy.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxevLDaVjQ4
His last one was just 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh9k7T7NeB
that an abuser. David touched his broken-again nose and the eye that was616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrvv7M3hBB
barely opening. The bitch would be angry again, his face was supposed 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduo0T3Tvvt
to be without bruises. Her clients liked him more when he looked pure. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtsJFHXLOa
Undamaged goods she loved to say.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQFxPZaqOJ
Right on cue, David 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJJUwK9Y1X
could hear the bathroom door opening and she came in. Sneering she 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tAfT5USTP
slapped David causing him to fall on the floor. "Stupid, idiot boy!" She616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJyOcAJKiv
slurred. What a surprise the bitch was either drunk or drugged. "One 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iI1LyashQ
thing, don't let them hit your face. And look at you! Useless!" She 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQJUnjTLzf
shrieked and kicked David clumsily.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRvvZlaoT4
Why was this his life? 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjGz93LFia
Should he have taken his life, can he still do it? He looked at her and 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ090tXhuU
she seems to have taken offense at that. She scratched at his face and 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2nbATjWHD
came down on him. "How dare you look at me with those eyes! They're his 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7eB8OHNET
eyes! Someone like you doesn't deserve them!" She continued in a similar616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNW8pyynqC
vein trying to get his eyes. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15wAGHyU70
~Enough David.~ A voice 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT7DM9OLBS
resounded in his head. David knew that voice, it was his only friend. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TvJ0eQqfZ
~Fight back.~ David faught against the urge and voice, after all it was 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFwK14vnVi
still his mother. ~FIGHT BACK~ Finally David extended his arm with force616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf7btp5AKG
and met resistance.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZORhPK76bG
The scratching and 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXpwDcWAtZ
shrieking stopped, he could see his mother on the floor, groaning, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMBvNdKVeh
slowly getting up. Thinking quickly David grabbed a glass bottle and hit616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PdNt0CA8C
the bitch with it. Again and again until all that was left was a glass 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEh4k90aSk
shard and then he kept stabbing and screaming until his throat and hand 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AYCv3hUMk
was raw. Once he couldn't hold the shard he stopped and laughed.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyvkO7P9RB
Oh god what did he do? 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IcjWKjMB7
This was his mummy, the one who always protected him, the one who would 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHFE4k4PzU
never abandon him a and he..he murdered her. But...no, no, no. She hated616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBJTbOhfXA
him did she? Yeah she was a bitch..NO..she was his mother. Was there a 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1a8cmwn3F
difference? David started crying and throwing up. He killed her, he 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5HE9LBKOy
killed her, he killed her. His head felt as it was going to burst, cries616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBASsKiBaO9
replaced the laughter as he rolled on the floor covering himself in 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6Z1wn4r5l
blood.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpFLiebFPl
~that's enough David. Forget, forget everything.~ 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9DfzES3F1
There was a pause and everything quieted down.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK5ADZa7aO
A boy named David just 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJkQmKaRQ5
woke up. Surrounded by empty bottles and rubbish. David shrugged and 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXunS6FnCQ
winced. He was in pain did he fall? That would explain the blood all 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYGxTN0xKc
over him. Yes he fell and hurt himself. But what about the body...wait 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡselnwzPx8z
what body? David looked around and couldn't see anyone else in the room616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6fW3cCafY
besides him. Why did his head hurt? Why couldn't he remember what he 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbMrQ8cVy0
was...oh that's right. He was going to become a hero and fly on a ship. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGdjGPQtoG
Yes, that's what he was about to do when he became all confused, how 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwIW2IoZ6b
silly of him.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANoASO6sVP
Remembering his 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdjyDyGIzh
objective, David opened the door and left his old life behind. To enter 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL55Ok8lzHg
his living room and find his dad, mum and brother sitting at a round 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvbjnBaJwL
table preparing a meal. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwGVoPMU6s
"There you are David!" 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw1cH8s7c0
His dad said. "We've been waiting forever, come on I can't wait to start616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw2aEGvJni
eating!" He started hitting his utensils on the table. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUiEwxG13s
This isn't the truth.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7OqePB21B
David obligingly sat 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAQnjjJvem
down. "Oh stop, honey. You're going to give children bad manners." His 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySHb3vlags
mum chided playfully. As she put the food on the table and ruffled his 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoe1I5LTYP
brothers hair. Sitting down next to David and giving him a warm smile.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftmAhGmhSO
A dream, nothing else.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rN1wuAvf8
They all thanked the 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyinwPAhnN
gods for what they had and started eating. Yes thankful for this happy, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVgZTJxXAS
oblivious life. Thankful for good and supportive parents. Thankful for 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb50Sblz8i
this lie.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyVLjaIzJs
A lie that has to end.616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBDxMrIcxW
David was standing at 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS3qUl4vwh
the table.. He was sure this wasn't part of any memories, but he was 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY687nstSxl
sure that the boy was him, a happier more healthy him, and the woman was616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyimNpIjdJf
his real mother or atleast someone who looked like her. While the 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi43TCGBB2J
brother and man? Something that might've happened if he was luckier? 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhnrPZaUdf
Either way David hated 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjkrUCdJ0s
this. Why, why, why, why didn't he get this happy blissful life. Why 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaxHch54G9
didn't he get a father who would teach him to become a proper man, why 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O32uqnHBX
didn't he get a mother who consoled him when he hurt? Why was he all 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB0B3KqCJA
alone, without a brother or any other sibling. Why does THIS pale 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAC81NoQHZ
imitation of his deserves this good life, he'll never appreciate. Why 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GShTcoUpz
does anyone. When there's so many suffering why do only few deserve to 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizzX3V0itr
life this happy blissful life?616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW30g989qD2
The answer was so simple616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Ju3ulGaJ
that David almost laughed. It didn't come in a whisper by someone else,616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9IEhqYJYY
it was his own and he fully knew it. They didn't, they didn't deserve 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvTDsgcBTx
this life, no one did. Thus there was only one solution to end it all, 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuDWkdjmmB
end all misery either present or one that will come in the future. 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqAvOE4lmM
David decided to start 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IS7VBQ6rm
with this lie, he took the knife and plunged it into his young self. "No616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWDwgJiENE
more lies." He took it out and stabbed his father. "No more regrets." 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvSFjlJ9cg
Next his brother. "No more tears." And finally he stabbed his own 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe136lc5k6J
mother. "No more mercy."616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaluqkKaYg
With the last stab 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu0oJdfIgw
everything fell apart piece by piece and David found himself staring at 616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYtVNEXCoI
his own shadowy reflection. The only thing surrounding them was the vast616Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vMAUaMjm1
emptiness.
