The accident or murder.

Ezekiel sat with Eli at this table, waiting for their food to be served at their table. Ezekiel used this opportunity to try to talk to his brother and the response he gets was as expected. Ezekiel asked Eli “how was your day and how are you feeling?” Only to get no response on Eli‘s end and Ezekiel try to use nostalgia asking “do you remember what Dad used to do for us whenever we were sad or just feeling like shit?” Eli finally looks at him for a moment his eyes had bags underneath, and he just looked back down right after. He looked at the pizza menu, remembering every time they used to come here. Remembering their parents talking about the crazy shit they used to do when they were younger.

Before Ezekiel got that scar on his face that resulted in him having to wear a mask, and then he remembered the scar on Ezekiel’s face, then he remembered the accident. then he remembered Ezekiel in the hospital and imagining what his parents look like in body bags. He felt his breath getting shorter, and Eli starts to realize that he was in his head again and Ezekiel was trying to talk to him, now Ezekiel looks concerned. Ezekiel snapping him out of his daze, Eli felt Ezekiel‘s hand on his, almost like Ezekiel was trying to wake him up. “Eli look at me, what’s wrong?” Eli does look at him and instead just remembers the accident and who exactly was driving. He would get up and just storm off out of restaurant, and the strangest part is Ezekiel doesn’t remember exactly what happened at night nor does he remember much of this current life or timeline he is in he doesn’t exactly remember where the fuck he is but he knew this much when he tried to taste after Eli. it seems like he entered another world. He sees on Mika who is working in a laboratory and they’re talking to him and then all of a sudden they just tell him goodbye. Mika caresses his cheek, telling him “when you left this world got destroyed, I’m so sorry, Ezekiel but.. this world is dead.. the only way to save you and the rest of us was to put you in a different world.. don’t worry we’ll meet each other on the other side. please. Don’t come back.” Before pushing Ezekiel back into the current world, he is in.

Ezekiel looks around horrified at the realization of what just happened. He doesn’t know if it’s a delusion or what he is seeing is real. “I must be really messed up in my head…. This can’t be real nothing that I saw just now could be real…. But why can’t I remember? Why can’t I remember?!” he says to himself. Before I finally hit him what exactly happened and now he remembers the accident. He was the one driving his drunk parents home after a fun night at a reunion they had with an old high school classmates, his dad is talking with his mom and they’re talking about random ass shit they used to do and it’s clear that Ezekiel was busy trying to focus on the road only for something to randomly appear. A strange lady in an all white gown covered in blood in her forehead, and her throat was lit, and he recognized this lady somehow as someone familiar that he used to know and she whispered something to Ezekiel while she was on the road that caused Ezekiel to swerve and accidentally crashed the car into a tree upper head and, the car bumper, practically wrapped around it when it impacted, Ezekiel was knocked unconscious, but at least he had a seatbelt. His mother did not have that kind of fortune and was already in the front of the car her bloody hand dangling from the front of the car and her shoulder against the tree. It’s clear with her wide eyed now void of life. That she is now gone meanwhile, his father is laying his head against the dashboard. Also, his eye is void of any life whatsoever, he had a massive gash in his head as if his head hit the dashboard so hard and cracked the front part of his face. Ezekiel had a huge chunk of glass sticking from the side of his mouth, been vetted so deep that it was practically touching.. It’s clear that he’s slowly starting to regain consciousness and saw that both his parents were dead, but he couldn’t move. He hears someone screaming in the background, attempting to climb over the fence. hearing more people yelling to call for an ambulance. That’s the last thing he sees before falling into unconsciousness again.

Mika gets a phone call from Eli, who asked “can I stay over your house with you and Nora?” Mika response “did you talk to your brother Eli?” Eli response “I can’t look at him knowing what he did!” he says in frustration, Mika response “Eli, listen to me when I’m telling you this, and you better fucking listen because I won’t repeat myself, whatever happened there was a fucking accident, and you act like Ezekiel doesn’t blame himself, because I promise you, he’s saying the same damn thing you were saying every single time he looks in the mirror. It is not his fucking fault and instead of blaming him for losing your family, remember that he is your fucking family too. You can stay over but I’ll be damned if you blame your brother over something that’s out of his control.” he said it with a stern father voice, but was assemblance of comfort and his voice as well. He doesn’t wanna downplay Eli’s grief, but he does wanna reassure Eli that no matter what Ezekiel’s all the family he has right now and he shouldn’t be blaming him over something that was simply an accident. He agreed so let Eli come over and when Eli did, Mika went over to go look for Ezekiel.

Ezekiel walked all the way to the road where his parents died. He seized her two crosses, one pink and one blue decorated with flowers and plushy. The over the fence that was barricading the spot and essentially walked over towards the crosses, and he realized. This was around the same spot where he saw the lady and he finally remembered what she was saying. “why did you kill me?” Then it finally dawned on him. Another flashback flashed in front of his face and he realized he was holding a screwdriver, and there was a woman tied to a tree. The screwdriver was covered in blood. He walks over to her and just hear her crying begging “please stop.. I am so sorry….” he leans over towards her and says “you didn’t apologize when you beat your son so bad that he needed brain surgery, right?” Before stabbing her right in the eye and he realized only then. That’s who he saw that night.

he woke up as soon as he heard Mika’s voice it was raining out water hitting the dirt ground and the trees, and he slowly looked up at the rain. Ezekiel can still hear his voice as Mika climbed over the fence and grabbed Ezekiel‘s shoulder, “Ezekiel, Ezekiel, what the hell are you doing?” Ezekiel just simply said “I killed her…. I killed them…” Mika looks like Ezekiel now concerned and just gives him a hug telling him “you didn’t do anything wrong. You never killed your parents. It was an accident. You have to keep telling yourself that it was an accident.” but Ezekiel did kill her. He killed that lady on the road, and he even remembered where he buried her beyond the trees deep in the woods in a small cave where pieces of her whipping scavenged by animals.
