the Dream

I look down to the burned shirt, my chest has a circular burn on my shirt. But my skin is unharmed somehow, my dad rushes over to touch my chest.

His touch is first filled with fear and concern, but he pulls back with relief."Son, uh why is there a burn...but it isn't hot?" I turn my head and shrug.

'Even I don't know why it suddenly happened, but I believe it's tied to my powers awakening'

"Dad...so uh why aren't we sparring, you said I'd spar with you every day i train. But we arent" he turns to me dumbfounded, "son...your too weak right now. I'm just training your body so you can handle fighting me"

My question then turns back at me, I feel challenged. But I hide it laughing awkwardly "so....thats,why? Jeez your calling me out even though I didn't know I'm that weak in your eyes"

I do my other exercises, my body feels less pain from them, as If my body gets stronger much faster than the average person, my clothes stick to my body as I push myself harder.

I fall to the ground, exhausted but less painful that the past two days.

I look at my arms they look much more toned, but still skinny as usual. I sigh in boredom, as my body heals after a few minutes.

I go and snack on some energy bars, chocolate flavored as my dad prepares rabbit dinner. Somehow he sneaked in a small separated grill, inside his large backpack.

I close my eyes, after I finish the bar as the aroma of the food seeps in my nose. The smell slightly entoxicating, and soothing after 20 minutes or so my dad gives me 2 pieces of rabbit.

2 legs, as he feasts on the chest and leaves the heads uncooked. He always separates the organs from the body, to make it much better to eat and easier to cook.

The food filled my stomach, as I lay down the sun simmers down the mountain as the light falls short. The brown mountain turns blacker, and blacker as the light dissappear.

The stars never return, it's as if they never existed like there's never been lights in the sky looming over us. My skin felt a slight breeze, maybe it was the tension of the realization that..

No stars will ever shine.

I shudder, as I slowly drift asleep.... a bright reddish white hue showers my eyes.

I open them but, the hue blinds me, and I hear a voice almost like my.....

Mother.
