I'm not

Darkness.Pitch black. A boy stood alone in the middle of that sea of darkness his white clothes made him look like a small light in a dark room.

-"It's your fault that things turned out like this"

A voice came from the dark.The boy instinctively flinched as he muttered: -"I didn't ask for this...." As he crouched there more voices came like roaring thunder and a fierce rain pouring down.

-"YOU monster stay away"-

-"Do you have any idea what are you saying?Go away"

-"You abomination."

-"Cursed child."

As these voices were getting louder the bout covered his ears,eyes shut like a closed zipper.... He still whispered with a voice so weak you could barely hear if you didn't concentrate on it.

-"I...I am...."

Before he could finish trough the waves of these painful words the one who he feared the most t hear came like a knife stabbing at his heart.

-"I should have never given birth to you,I would have been happier without a MONSTER like you in my life."

The little boy body got colder his hands as cold as ice his entire being trembling like a pitiful prey does so in front of the predator. His heart felt heavy like something was stepping on it as he gasped for air and as his breath was getting heavier and heavier he felt hands tightening around his neck even though the pain was unbearable he struggled with all his might to escape.

-"MONSTER

DEMON

CURSED CHILD"

He could not bear to hear them anymore so he squeezed all of his strength and shouted:

-"I....I am... I'M NOT A MONSTER"

-"I'm not..." Haha huh haha a quick breath resounded in the room. sweaty hands raised in the air as if they were trying to grab the air.

-"Another nightmare huh" the rough voice sounded as if the person was about to cry.The hands slowly descending and they reached the forehead full of sweat and cold as ice.

The person got up after staying still to calm down and headed for the bathroom in the little flat staggering on the feet to reach it.

In the mirror, the boy looked at himself in the corner of his eyes a small drop was forming,he looked drenched almost as if he was coming out of the water,hands trembling and his hair unkempt clearly showing he just woke up.He muttered to himself:

-"Pathetic haha."His chuckle was sounding rather full of disdain and scoff towards himself rather than full of joy.
