2. Life

16 years have passed since Augustus was born. As it turned out, Miss Evans ' anxiety or fear was unnecessary. Augustus was not blind. He could see even better than the others. But to understand this, Augustus was in the hospital for a month before he was given to his mother.

I think I should tell you a little bit about Polly Evans. Polly Evans, quite an ordinary woman. I was born in an ordinary family, studied like others, worked the same way. All her neighbors knew her as a peace-loving woman, and if you need help, contact Polly, they said. But every person has their own skeletons in the closet, even for example, a simple old man can be a pedophile or a peace-loving grandmother can be a serial killer. So Polly had a skeleton.

She liked to drink. Drink a lot. She drank herself into unconsciousness so that she could drink even more the next day. She was addicted to alcohol. And this affected August. Although they lived in a good neighborhood, his mother had a good job with a big salary, but their family was not normal.

Every time Polly got drunk, she would say nasty things to August. She called him a monster, a freak, a mistake of nature. Augustus did not understand this in his early years, but he did feel pain. Oh yeah. Polly also liked to beat Augustus. Sometimes she would beat him so badly that he would lie in his room for a whole day before everything healed.

I forgot to mention that with strange pupils, Augustus got other strange powers. For example, each of his beatings, wounds, scratches, fractures, were healed literally in a day. He was also very strong, fast, and smart. But here's the problem, August didn't have any friends.

When he went to elementary school, everyone was afraid of his eyes.They shunned him as if he were a monster. There were even rumors that if you looked into his eyes, a person would die.then the person will die. This has haunted Augustus all his life, and since he lived in a fairly small town, everyone already knew about his eyes. Nothing changed from year to year, and August was still the same.

When Augustus started high school, he thought he would start over with a clean slate. But no, and everyone knew him here. But also added mockery. Local hooligans decided to raise their egos by counting August. Augustus didn't understand what he had done ? Why is this happening to him ? He could not fight back, he thought that he was weak, because how can he fight back if his own mother can not win. But Augustus soon learned that he was not weak, he was strong, stronger than anyone.

When they ambushed him outside the school, started beating him, something jumped in his brain. It was as if the lock that had been hanging on him all along had been opened, and Augustus had finally hit back. He beat up those hooligans so that they were in the hospital for a month. And finally Augustus realized that he was strong, but there was still an emptiness in his soul.

Time passed, Augustus had almost finished school, and the gates of life were open to him. He could go anywhere he wanted, but he didn't know where. He doesn't even know how to live. He once read that you need to live your life in such a way that you don't regret anything when you leave. And August decided.

--- If I want to live my life to the fullest, I need to see the world, meet new people, be in new places. The pores get out of this dump.

And as soon as school was over, without telling anyone, he packed up, took everything he needed, and quietly left the city in which he had lived all his life. As he walked down the road to the south, he thought.

" I want to know how to live. I want to try something new. I want to finally make at least one friend. Maybe I can even find a girl ! "

With these thoughts, Augustus left his native home and went in search of life. We are accelerating faster and faster, so what will happen next ?
