[I been having these weird thoughts lately... I’m not so sure if it’s true. But I do know one truth... everyone wasn’t born equal. Listen to my story... ]

(Loud man yelling) BOY! BOY!! GET UP ALREADY YOU SON OF B¥#@H!!!!

(Boy wakes up; scared to death)

The boy notices that he overslept and was extremely late for making breakfast and lunch. The man abuses the boy while he continues to nag about why he took him in. The boy was covered in bruises as he continually punches and kicks him everywhere on his body.

(Loud man) honestly did I fed and raise you for free to act like this and this is how you repay me back?!

He was bored of punishing the boy and decides to throw the broomstick right at his head. The boy gets up afterward to clean the mess. The man goes back to the kitchen to fetch some beer to cool off. As soon as the boy got done cleaning, the man called him for more beer.

(Loud man) BOY GO FETCH ME SOME BEER AT THE MARKET, HERE’S THE MONEY AND BE QUICK ABOUT IT TOO!!!!!

The boy ran into the market to buy some more beer but as he did, things went down. Thugs jump on the boy and stole the the drinks along with the money as well. The boy went back to get change for beer but as soon as he did... well you know the rest. The man was angry and started throwing punches, saying mean things as he continues. A couple of hours later, the boy was in his bed and a nightmare occur inside him. He wakes up then sneaks out the house to get some fresh air. He passed by a child with their parent, then he looks at them thinking. Next day later, things got worst... the man came back into the house drunk that night. He looked at the boy and starts to get angry at him.

(Loud man) WHY... WHY DO [HICCUP]- WHY DO YOU SIT THERE? WWWHHHYYYY?????!!!! ALL YOU EVER DO IS MAKE THINGS WORST FOR ME AND I ENDED UP CLEANING UP YOUR OWN SHIT!!!! I PROVIDED YOU FOOD AND SHELTER TO LIVE AND THIS IS MY REPAYMENT????!!!!! YOU’RE NOTHING TO ME NOR TO ANYONE!!!! WHO WOULD WANT A NAMELESS CHILD THAT CAN’T EVEN TALK ANYWAY???!!!!

[That’s right I forgot to mention one little thing... I was a mute and had no name.]

The man then hurts the kid but this time it’s worst than usual. He threw an empty beer bottle right at the kids’ face. Glass shattered everywhere across the floor as the boy didn’t move at all. Blood rushed down on his left eye, as the other started gushing out tears and blood.

Later that night the drunk man went to bed and the kid just cleaned the mess again. When he finished cleaning, he look himself in the mirror and started to cry. He cried for over an hour, then realized he can’t stay there no more and so he ran for it. No second thought, he just ran away without looking back.

[For the first time I made my own decision to run away from him and that horrible place. I ran until I couldn’t go on anymore... It was great but I didn’t have a place to go or belong to.]

The boy continues to walk away then bumps into the same thugs that jumped him. The thugs wanted more money and so they beaten him up for refusing them. The thugs kept on for quite awhile now and next thing you know is the kid was unconscious. Blood and more bruises on his body as the thugs were searching for more money.

(Thug 1) WHAT THE HELL, THIS KID IS BROKE! HE DOESN’T HAVE NO MONEY!

(Thug 2) AW MAN AND JUST WHEN I CRAVING FOR MORE BOOZE TOO!

(Thug 3) HEY GUYS, THIS KID IS NOT MOVING... DID WE KILL HIM?

The thugs looked at the injured kid on the ground and said nothing. Then the kid started flinching on his hand. The thugs kicked so more at him for not caring if he’s going to die.

(Thug 1) HE AIN’T DIED IDIOT! IT’S ONLY A PRETEND!!!!

The thug was about to kill the kid but suddenly rocks hit two of the thugs heads; knocking them out. The thug that was about to kick the child quickly turned around and wonder who knocked his pals down.

(Thug 1) THE HELL WHOSE THERE???!!! COME OUT YOU F%£$€_G COWARD AND FIGHT!!!

It’s all quiet as the thug was beginning to shiver in fear. A sudden shadow appear from behind the thug and he then turns to punch whatever it was but instead got himself a broken arm that he can’t use anymore for the rest of his life. Screaming in pain the thug left, leaving behind his two pals. The injured kid could barely open one eye as he saw that shadow saved him from certain death. The kid fainted as the shadow showed itself as a woman with 2 other children that are girls.

(Woman) How could they.... to such a little girl!!!!

(Girl1) Mom she has loss so much blood! We need to heal her now.

(Girl2) I’m on it!

[Everything went blank afterward... I thought I was died because from looking back on it ... I really am useless. But everything change after meeting them for the first time.]
