Some of my colleagues 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv67aW9lwW
believe that humans cannot repress memories. That memories which are 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KJbeNKI25
remembered with the help of someone are just implanted through 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau6a0KmTa8
suggestion or hypnosis.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldtVfob2Ay
657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyxAiPgKHP
Utter none sense I say! In a world where657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwickLmt0si
ether exists, some find it hardest to believe that we humans can 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikgRC5r9hK
repress our memories. Those scientists and professors are too arrogant 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6q8mBxoEN
to admit that we know nothing of the brain and what it can do. They want657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKzzzOaIO6
me to prove without certainty of a doubt that humans can repress 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRlDMTozbM
memories. Well to that I say, I want them to prove that it cannot. For I657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAxbM7kxbd
am not arrogant enough to state I know everything about our brains 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkquCyriaY

657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfykqhBBPn
David awakened. Not 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1p3ZmZxQe
wanting to get up out of fear of the wounds and disfigurations he 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB4YX1IYwX
suffered. He closed his eyes. Ignoring reality, ignoring the inevitable,657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFji7ThOaU5
ignoring the pain....wait. David risked moving his hands in front of 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KlViBRnKu
his face and all the fingers were there. Not only that his hands were 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGIHTMWbFJ
undamaged.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGFv7MFBQn
"Only your physical body657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NqV8mzwPy
was damaged, your ether form is safe." A voice broke David's 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFV39jYNMq
concentration. "The only reason your eye is gone is because the blast of657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa8pZlZuDn
steam that burned your eye was full of ether."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguqNPWsU0r
A shadowy form appeared.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7seH8YHgx
Jester. Instead of his form constantly shifting and his voice taking 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9weSkxSdD
different intonations, Jester was only wearing a cloak over his body 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojehJC8SlC
hiding any features. And his voice sounded...almost human.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhBvhXnDhK
"Long time no see, David. Well for you, I've been watching you for a while." Jester laughed as if he said something funny.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0EQ5fKkza
"Am I in the...ether 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMRPVwhrDB
world again?" David asked looking around, seeing rocks flying around, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXchPl6ftns
storms raging in the skies and shadows flickering in and out of life.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl3AjU2OaB
Jester clapped." Indeed! You are learning, maybe you won't be completely useless." 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c0RvjphW9
David was tired, too 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qak9p6J1M
tired for Jester. Even so he still stood up. "Jester can we...can we 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquQcGiOWHk
just all this?" David waved his hands in the space between the two.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j6u0PxWkK
The shadowy hood cocked 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLvqlNtbC2
to a side. "Oh, that's just boring." David began a reply but Jester 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypZZpVjHP7
interrupted him. "Very well, if it'll save me from your nagging. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzimI8sHfWQ
Knowing what's waiting for you in the real world, you'd think you'd be 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOLUgPCJLY
more grateful."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpbjbOo6fD
"I..."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatEzs6tYOx
"I went through all the trouble of getting you here. Hiding my presence from my brother and other mages. Honestly some people."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXQpddZiT9
David groaned in 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsFBa28Rn4
annoyance. "I've just been tortured for the better part of my day. Even 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPh5aVyb9R
if my body isn't feeling it, my mind is. So if you can get to your 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNBYBGaoAI
falling point, that'd be fly."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaxr8NgDgc
Jester muttered something David couldn't hear. "Very well. What do you remember of your childhood?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYyNTKr0Zl
David was startled by the question "What does that have to do with anything?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3Nw5288bW
"Well it's the main point of my visit, and you did say you wanted to stop playing games. What about your mother.?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyKcfHTMKb
A headache, feeling of resentment. "She's dead, or alive. I don't flying care."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfsb6iqGoc
"Have you ever wondered why you don't remember your childhood?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBnz3zrv7p
"How do you even..." Then David had a realization. "It was you? Were you the one who took my memory?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaykNzhz5eg
Jester giggled and put his hands up. "Guilty."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0broWVeyOK
David shouted and 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ604y7FCAlx
tackled the cloaked figure. His mind couldn't take it. After all that 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhv9ycYe2e
torture and Jester's games, after all the pain and loneliness, after all657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31dBuntODO
the deaths, David just wanted to blame someone. "Give back my life!" He657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXacLEaSJl
punched inside Jesters hood, meeting only air. "Give back my freedom!" 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneU3MbN3pP
Another punch. "Give back my happiness!" Tears joined the third punch, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwoobVgXfR
which was David's last as Jester started cackling and dissolved into 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL3k2klRSU
mist.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60BAghEmvb
Jester's voice came from657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5bZjv9QlA
behind. "Do you truly think, your misfortune sterns from me?" David 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaszcPT5ZS
could see surround shadows gathering around him. "What of everyone 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK75vczJroe
you've betrayed? People who would've called you their friend or lover. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG3LnMPa1P
Killed or abandoned for coin or survival. The shadows seemed to be 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo6BmF8b61
creating a circle around Jester and David.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJw5lYkmZ6
"You're lying to yourself. You..." 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsg3m6pwl7
"Shut up!" David 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRddkduCa6
struggled to get up. "Shut your falling mouth. You don't know me, I 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnAf6YPQnD
don't care if you're one of the five, or a demon, or a falling figment 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGQEDnMNbl
of my imagination only I know what or who I am!"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxPR4QwcMy
Jester gave another 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfSfri1k6Q
laugh, a laugh that chilled David to the bone. Don't I? What makes you 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFcvdA8O2e
so sure? Or are you just trying to convince yourself because you're 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QvlBecI03
afraid of the truth?" 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pHt9D47m3
"I'm not afraid,I'm..." 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28UT7GvcjW
"You're what? A 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58YkmHV9kF
despicable human being? True. A murderer, liar and cheat? Also correct. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonfNACRh3V
But allow me to show you something, something that will make everything 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEPIC6EF0t
you've done not matter." 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6pUr5ejon
The shadows completely 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSzjVbptu0
surrounded the two of them now. "Allow me to show you the why you're 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGhxGTcs0X
afraid. Allow me to show you why you forgot your childhood. Allow me 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCCTkMfODs
show you why this world needs to die." Jester put his hand over David's 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53YHzosexC
eye and shadows swallowed him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC5hpwmjxS
Shadows parting, David 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FAC72FbOf
found himself in a room. Bottles and rubbish littering the floor. A 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE8WUVmpWd
woman in the middle of the floor, flailing and screaming from pain. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WPgo5JDtz
David could see her so clearly as if he wasn't in the fade anymore. No 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPld8yk2du
more shadowy figures or echoes. Just an improvished room and David's 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwju4lMc0O
mother657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd2ZfmitYg
"This is my memory." 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvk1niHkvY
Jester said as he appeared besides David. "You claimed I don't know 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDuf4Msz0G
you, yet I might just be the person who knows you the most.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSANztf1Hkr
David didn't reply to 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28N7pDy8Ox
that. He just looked at the woman as various feelings rose within him. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVv7EspUhI
Love, longing, loneliness, but most of all hate.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRPaLkg8SZ
Unaware of what was 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqa1xOzOr5
inside David's mind, Jester continued. "From the time that you were 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8jm16ofkh
conceived, when your father raped your mother neither the first nor last657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLseJRsWu9L
time. Your poor mother, she loved your father with all her heart, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7wIV1SfEB
despite his many, many faults. It is rather amusing how such a man can 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd4pdABWFa
find true love and yet you cannot." David didn't rise to the bait. "She 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhuD04bcXv
tried getting rid of you, taking herbs and the like, it didn't work. She657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUkBSNlsru
was even tempted to stab herself in the stomach but she was too scared 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqbym2aDpM
she would die. A running theme with you Oxthornes, fear of death."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSXhQy5ysg
Finally the screams of 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkxUTutG0m
pain were replaced by the screams of a baby. Whispers from the babies 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wMOIl2iN5
mother reached David as if she was speaking to him. "Quiet, just stay 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeoaRMBaMg
quiet. You ruined my life, he stopped loving me because of you. You. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCre6FuAby
You. You." The baby started crying louder, screeching the woman grabbed 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUhiCwzhP0
the baby's throat and squeezed.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡManFVY20LU
David could feel his 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRIr8Q3Yyn
throat contract, the air trapped in his lungs, extending them beyond 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRBa6noVcU
their capacity. The shock made him go to his knee. "This is when you 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcpzhv7eAM
died." David could hear Jesters voice in the back of his head. Just as 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoCbCZueln
the room began spinning his breath and vision returned and the crying 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJOHaJ1EJG
stopped.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUcWxApQ3M
"Oh, nonononono." The 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoseH0kpSX
woman wailed. She put the baby gently on the floor and started pushing 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiKJUGcEZh
on its chest. Gently at first, and then with more distress. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZix9gkDry
"You who were supposed 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wyIiHd5AR
to die, defied death." Thus the baby started crying again, weakly at 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tGaEZaVsm
first but then gained more vigor. "Yet by dying you became closer to 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6siZinQvfI
the etherworld, susceptible to its inhabitants." 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkM9XsN5cS
Coughing David stood up 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXLAhm3CoR
and looked at the mother and son figure...No he looked at him and his 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITNTJcsVZz
mother. David didn't want to believe this image, yet deep down he knew 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIOZS67Hs5
it was the truth. "Did...were you the one who brought me back?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgKfF6PdSD
"No, it was a small 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIfZdsBevB
miracle, for all of us." David was unsure if he should believe Jester 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFHjshJfJe
but before he could question it anymore his vision changed again.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdDMK5rEUZ
He was staring at the 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB2HKivtDj
wom...his mummy. His mummy who loved him and took care of him, David was657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjlldT0c7i
only good at one thing, getting in the way of his mummy's work. He 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKdxS8RYM3
learned to be quiet after the first few times she slapped him, he 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJcvMUicsC
deserved it because mummy did her best to provide for him and David was 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxhQNHv0dE
just a useless existence, just like his mummy said.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOsTJeAIDN
But today David got to be usefull. He had the opportunity to make his mummy proud and happy.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDz2mG7fqq
"There you go, David." She said brushing his hair with her hand. "You will make mummy proud, won't you?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb7TPBzD60
"I will!" Came a squeaky657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30OhykITpy
voice. "I will make you proud..est!" David said as he put a book down.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08tqJLOPQP
David was unsure what the name or what the words inside said but it had657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZGbLD6mbg
pictures of flying ships and heroes, something he wanted to be when he 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffuLMrBZyk
was an adult.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWN37PLw44
A knock came from a door657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHn7hc13d0
and David's mummy went to answer it. She spoke to someone in hushed 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkbMM7ttZT
tones and then left the room without giving David a glance back. In her 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwrqzoZb1R
stead a stranger came. David had never seen the man before and he was 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcHKblZeFK
scared of strangers. Whenever a stranger came in with his mummy he was 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd58Q5EM3c1
supposed to be quiet otherwise he wouldn't get food and get slapped for 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz4pyII1Cv
being a bad boy.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6EP3IRTCB
That's why he didn't 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpbs22qmUz
speak, didn't move, didn't look at the stranger. "Speak up boy, what's 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvCEC3mc6k
your name?" The man said in a haughty voice.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XUX0mWwtL
"D..david" the answer 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgQbTv9Ewh
came in a whisper. The stranger grunted and came closer to David, moving657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTouVbIT01O
empty bottles with his boots. "I said speak up."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeIEGUhAjV
"David!" Came out the reply, which sounded too loud in David's ears.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeU8gyZKDY
The man put his hands on657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeKV2rby7A
Davids shoulders and smiled. "David? I'm David aswell, David Hozzelpoff657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgK8OF5Oc5
to be exact. Do you recognize my name?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDCqch1fla
David meekly shook his 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89pooow419
head and was shoved to the floor. David hit the floor hard, losing his 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohCqwE4k2g
breath. "I am the greatest mind of this century!" He crouched down 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmYQtk3Q18
putting his face next to Davids. "Soon everyone will know my name, no 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0DerdVWYR
matter what my colleagues say or what rumors they spread." He said but 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92arJCG91w
the anger was slowly leaving his voice. "You must understand, I'm not 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQm8Egl37A
usually like this, but...but sometime you just reach that point. I'm a 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgBTfIj0w9
good man I have a bright future and sometimes you just need obstacles, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8xsyvJ7yk
you are just that an obstacle that I must conquer." The man was 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N5MdQB18C
bubbling. Caressing Davids face with his hand, the other one moving down657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdJ0mIQ2tm
Davids body.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1mn0RxLi5
Please don't. Came adult David's voice657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQEb39xtiL
Young David was scared; 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cpEWh7Lc9
he was used to beatings but not being touched in that way. He tried 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4YymUQNzf
wiggling away from the man pinned David down with his greater weight. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd5BKciY3f
"Stop resisting." Derek hissed. "If everyone just didn't resist I 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB0tEWtPfC
wouldn't be here I wouldn't need to do anything."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfsfwO7Fp0
Help me. Save me. Came the child and adult voice intermixed.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkCRbJRwkM
"Mummy, mummy!" David 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6Egknnwuw
screamed, tears flowing, a feeling of wetness around his legs. Finally 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypQRWAWJBp
the man slammed his palm into Davids face. That stopped all resistance, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16lvWdjtQB
after that day David liked to pretend that he lost consciousness, that 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ8A8pBeEt
everything that happened was a nightmare, but deep down he knew better, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuG19cVH8k
he knew that what he saw and felt was what had happened.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarNXNvJOhh
David didn't even know 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZfKgl1xLo
when the man finished, his mind was blank and when he came to he could 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8BWxwRCaZ
see his mummy looking at him. She scoffed. "Clean yourself up, you're a 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqWn7dEoj1
mess. David tried crying but no tears came.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq9ZOS3Gmw
Suddenly the room shifted again and David himself as an adult again. "That was the first time it happened. One of many." 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RPxGk0JDU
David could barely hear 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvqbc0sqLD
jester, as all the memories came flowing back. It overwhelmed him and 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxadlZr5RU
the tears he couldn't find as a child freely flew out of him and he 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuf3qdJQHR
screamed into the void. Out of desperation, out of misery, out of pure 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ItniFbbM
anger. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK7YvJQvGt
"There are more 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ182J2BSSvq
memories. Let me know when you're ready." David looked at jester, whose 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXuJlPurDJ
form changed again. His hood was down but half of his face was covered 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1TTLU7vnE
in a dark like substance. The other looked...looked like a normal adult 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUUFa6Fhzy
male. David almost recognized it but couldn't quite place it.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXgZMQhL1E
"What else is there to 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkj4bQSRXF
remember?" David asked as he got up. Jester just smiled. "Just indulge 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvttBjQt8yS
me." Jester waved his hand again and David was standing in front of a 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaLy62Wluv
mirror. He could see himself, a young teen. With dead eyes and bruises 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU3zVfNwec
all around his body. He looked at the glass shard in his hand. The blood657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmYFuTeUIq
that was spilling down his arm and hand was slowly dripping on the 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1mg9aozJe
floor. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Mq31TFyR
Even the pain didn't 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEWFTUNroV
offer him solace, it used to be that the pain he inflicted on himself 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o6aAaBhqX
offered an escape, but no more. One flick of the shard though...and 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK0pmwWLh1
everything would be gone.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjemFJTYwBg
~Just like that, give up657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPVAxBZdKJ
end it all. No one will care. ~ That's right, no one cares. Mother is 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMplnLZpMV
probably with some man, or trying to get someone who was willing to buy 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFck8yHDkI
Davids body. Would she really mind if he died. He moved the shard closer657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF0nAnrMrh
to his neck, his pulse slowly beating. ~But...what if it gets better? 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m5cP3J5ox
What if death only brings more pain?~ David paused. "Can't be much worse657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs71c9OxW7W
than this."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ6fAkWLkk
~STOP! ~ David dropped 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWenRy8LbT
the shard as if burned. ~It will get better. Just survive. Have to 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1HHKoviZ
survive.~ David dropped on his knees. That's right all he had to is 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o9RSN1u77
survive. Survive and live.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIj1fNmMDd
Everything changed again and David could see his reflection. Scarred, rugged and haunted. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbiUD45G79
" that voice, it was yours." More of a statement rather than a question. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRdkzUAOrP
"Indeed." Jester 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJwAmPMIdS
replied. David could actually hear his voice properly, without an echo 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitbAxzv1eh
or any other effects. He never noticed it before but it did sound a lot 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOKD8ogMKd
like his own did.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SikRFsrjZ
"Why did you try 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCTckwzRX3
convincing me to kill myself and then stop me? Why not just let me do 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSSfwA3iQJ
it?" He said the last part in a whisper; his brain still trying to 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZmdG8MN5s
process the influx of memories.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupRMmw5gKX
"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,"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ODJhYx9S
"You expect me to believe that?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59qqgsvyZh
"Believe what you want."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhNbQnwOvH
"How many times? How many of my thoughts were mine?"657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVBdLVgsXA
Jester chuckled. "All of657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhxNsnA5sV
them really. To make sure you didn't notice anything was out of the 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRmu61BpMx
ordinary I had to make it look like they were your thoughts."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ucw86iBH1
"That just 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ8a2gLK9l
means..."David held his head and groaned in pain. "I'm so confused, in 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuvJj3E8ZS
my memories it doesn't like you're trying to be subtle. What changed?657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5yuEbr8w8
"It's related to the last memory, I'll show you if you're ready."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kJfeKxlfj
David nodded. "Do it."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssl2Qk8bQA
Everything shifted. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NT5waSUqR
David was cleaning his 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWkWfZbqD
face, in his middle teens and miserable. He wasn't sure when this 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSLlpKeJAC
grounded life started but it's been a long time now. He learned tricks 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8nu75jfHD
on how to make it easier for himself. By pretending the strangers were 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD6Mbyjbmk
important he would save himself a lot of abuse, by guessing how they 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZDkHXuXvK
wanted him to act and acting that way they, sometimes, took pity. Of 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnSvUIHWE6
course not everyone cared; some still had fun abusing a young boy.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4e53jJJkR
His last one was just 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhYUTlX9me
that an abuser. David touched his broken-again nose and the eye that was657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgXYouowWR
barely opening. The bitch would be angry again, his face was supposed 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzmYwkV1jz
to be without bruises. Her clients liked him more when he looked pure. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHTjv09lfy
Undamaged goods she loved to say.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLVrB64Lkw
Right on cue, David 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNJ5kFwzHW
could hear the bathroom door opening and she came in. Sneering she 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVv2XF8SoZ
slapped David causing him to fall on the floor. "Stupid, idiot boy!" She657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OCKgu1cec
slurred. What a surprise the bitch was either drunk or drugged. "One 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL6Pvh6cqW
thing, don't let them hit your face. And look at you! Useless!" She 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiuweWpHd3
shrieked and kicked David clumsily.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKStbGwLs3
Why was this his life? 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtncrqAMlu
Should he have taken his life, can he still do it? He looked at her and 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P7QlxnvOj
she seems to have taken offense at that. She scratched at his face and 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB9CdLGOra
came down on him. "How dare you look at me with those eyes! They're his 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvXA46doky
eyes! Someone like you doesn't deserve them!" She continued in a similar657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn93utRFJA
vein trying to get his eyes. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvg7j6cI0m
~Enough David.~ A voice 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA5zer4vRS
resounded in his head. David knew that voice, it was his only friend. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHtbygYH4T
~Fight back.~ David faught against the urge and voice, after all it was 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVAVAqFKfJ
still his mother. ~FIGHT BACK~ Finally David extended his arm with force657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ680hldL9rB
and met resistance.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7gLb12rxb
The scratching and 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTYp3ScReF
shrieking stopped, he could see his mother on the floor, groaning, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUjUbYpqeM
slowly getting up. Thinking quickly David grabbed a glass bottle and hit657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXphaDnoDv
the bitch with it. Again and again until all that was left was a glass 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlAqGs0pui
shard and then he kept stabbing and screaming until his throat and hand 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM66LJGwQ8
was raw. Once he couldn't hold the shard he stopped and laughed.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6JrT7kHiv
Oh god what did he do? 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtuYD0v0el
This was his mummy, the one who always protected him, the one who would 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4D7Vuxsh4
never abandon him a and he..he murdered her. But...no, no, no. She hated657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqryln3K3R
him did she? Yeah she was a bitch..NO..she was his mother. Was there a 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHCcBnY0Sw
difference? David started crying and throwing up. He killed her, he 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvxXWVocOy
killed her, he killed her. His head felt as it was going to burst, cries657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy2WH1zB7v
replaced the laughter as he rolled on the floor covering himself in 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡej65xvaRAO
blood.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5giSUeTEO3
~that's enough David. Forget, forget everything.~ 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFUhv8bXRD
There was a pause and everything quieted down.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNd8CVxsg9
A boy named David just 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEizorrHugr
woke up. Surrounded by empty bottles and rubbish. David shrugged and 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHEFXAw9Gt
winced. He was in pain did he fall? That would explain the blood all 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBIUnj7Ze6
over him. Yes he fell and hurt himself. But what about the body...wait 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjDeDUEw0S
what body? David looked around and couldn't see anyone else in the room657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehUztN8B0f
besides him. Why did his head hurt? Why couldn't he remember what he 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAIc3Zq5e5
was...oh that's right. He was going to become a hero and fly on a ship. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvqhPtFVBD
Yes, that's what he was about to do when he became all confused, how 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42CqSTGRsU
silly of him.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrTg1icGAo
Remembering his 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J7GlNUN2r
objective, David opened the door and left his old life behind. To enter 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1nMewyt59
his living room and find his dad, mum and brother sitting at a round 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSWRsRDgXs
table preparing a meal. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdbGns4lKb
"There you are David!" 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SXggWfOdb
His dad said. "We've been waiting forever, come on I can't wait to start657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sv9IJSqy2
eating!" He started hitting his utensils on the table. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtwQHqCrsZ
This isn't the truth.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXs3ahZXeb
David obligingly sat 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzKWqBMzbI
down. "Oh stop, honey. You're going to give children bad manners." His 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46fy6OT1M
mum chided playfully. As she put the food on the table and ruffled his 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh5XrTK3KN
brothers hair. Sitting down next to David and giving him a warm smile.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxCJz72aE
A dream, nothing else.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUubdoIMJN
They all thanked the 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7CtHIvpVN
gods for what they had and started eating. Yes thankful for this happy, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdf48b8GwW
oblivious life. Thankful for good and supportive parents. Thankful for 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM9Ov0ahMg
this lie.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqJjY5wUl0
A lie that has to end.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYS3t00mB2
David was standing at 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhuvxWNd5g
the table.. He was sure this wasn't part of any memories, but he was 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyVRqIMzbg
sure that the boy was him, a happier more healthy him, and the woman was657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrkse6Rtk5
his real mother or atleast someone who looked like her. While the 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUptO7skCv1
brother and man? Something that might've happened if he was luckier? 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf6eRMD18q
Either way David hated 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltNMdNFnmX
this. Why, why, why, why didn't he get this happy blissful life. Why 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1B34pWTQR
didn't he get a father who would teach him to become a proper man, why 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ACfzQWBNH
didn't he get a mother who consoled him when he hurt? Why was he all 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirtsZ6IyoS
alone, without a brother or any other sibling. Why does THIS pale 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiGuYiYCtu
imitation of his deserves this good life, he'll never appreciate. Why 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqeyV78guU
does anyone. When there's so many suffering why do only few deserve to 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMLOBUxqJ4
life this happy blissful life?657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUudVowKgQ
The answer was so simple657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAJ3emjjPu
that David almost laughed. It didn't come in a whisper by someone else,657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iK9Xqgy27
it was his own and he fully knew it. They didn't, they didn't deserve 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC8W85FD8y
this life, no one did. Thus there was only one solution to end it all, 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq0lk6BUv1
end all misery either present or one that will come in the future. 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8N7HuzIYZ
David decided to start 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6puNVxQeaT
with this lie, he took the knife and plunged it into his young self. "No657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5UpopkCOD
more lies." He took it out and stabbed his father. "No more regrets." 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0sQ4fzH3G
Next his brother. "No more tears." And finally he stabbed his own 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JPNeNyi1k
mother. "No more mercy."657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzYERo4UoX
With the last stab 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQjci2xSl0
everything fell apart piece by piece and David found himself staring at 657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBFtT5V7Mh
his own shadowy reflection. The only thing surrounding them was the vast657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2bqbOuAWX
emptiness.
