Back-Story

“Looking back my life was always a horrible story, no one to care for me or take care of me. Like you I always had a Father and Mother, back then I would run around the park with my father and cook with my mother. Until that event, we say every life matters on earth, but what about my parents?” I say as the ant walks on my hand.

“It all started the day we went to the museum. Mom, Dad, and I were going on a trip to celebrate my birthday. I was 9 then. Sadly we didn't know what would befall us on that day.”

“What happened?” I think the ant said while circling my hand.

“ 2 hours after we entered the building we saw men with strange masks and guns running into the museum. I believe they tried to rob the museum. I'm not sure anymore but I know that they wanted to take some women with them, my mom included but my dad didn't let them.”

*pow* *pow*

“We heard gunshots go off. I look down and I see a red liquid on my hands making its way to my legs, I did not move because I was scared of those bastards. Then the men ran out of the building frightened, everyone was happy saying “Thank god they are gone” all except for me.”

“I looked beside me and I saw two figures that looked like my mom and dad, no they were my mom and dad, and according to the police officer's my mom took the bullet for my dad, but they were using enhanced guns so the bullet went through my mother to my father. I tried to tell the officials what 1 of the men looked like, I tried to tell them about the lightning scar on the upper part of his arm, but they all said I was crazy. ”

“What happened next?” I swore I heard the ant said

“I got adopted by my uncle’s family. He said that he would keep me in his house if I was a good nephew, and I was… until he raped my sister to death. So I did the only thing a good brother could… I killed him and reported it to the cops. Thanks to the CCTV in the house I could prove my sister was raped, but I was sent to a Psychological Hospital because I had “abnormal” behaviors. When I got released the first person I saw was James who was nice to me despite my records, so I do all that I can for him and he does the same.” I noticed I didn't hear any questions from the ant so I continued.

“They say all life is valuable, but what about my parents, and even my sister?. Does that mean your life is valuable?” I said as I squeezed the ant between my fingers.

“If they can't respect someone's life, why should I?”
