""Ohhh what a beautiful scenery" it was a peacefull forest that he sees from the mountain top, with many birds ''but why they are bigger than those normal trees from what i recal?'' cold winds, fresh air I can smell not recognizable scent of perfume or maybe an extinct flower... But why there are three moons??small...medium.. large... One is red the other is blue and one looks really familiar like our moon... ''shoot where am I?'' He looks around observing the floating mountains with flying dinosaur... Dinosaur??? Or rather say dragons... ''whoooaaaàhhhhh'' ''Railee ... Railee... !!?? Wake up!! are you day dreaming?" I'm back to reality... Ann ask while shrugging my body,, then I realize I just got a nap for just some couple of minutes... My mind and body doesn't syncing properly... Remembering the same dreams occurred so many times and it was always the same... I never thought of it but it always the same... isn't it normal or I am just overthinking it... "sigh... " "Why are you napping again?" Ann's sarcastic face with smug facial expressions... "Di you realized what really time is.. I'm starving you know" Ann was my younger sister, not literally blood related and correction she was my step sister.. When Mom died seven years had passed.. Two months after mother died my father brought his newly found wife along with Ann... I'm still recovering, still mourning my mother's death and yet here he is.. Like nothing happened... I wonder if she loved my mother... This was unexpected behavior of him that i made gather a conclusion.. That my Dad didn't really love mother... Since Ann and his mother conquer everything ... Pretending they were thinking and caring for me... But when father's not around... Opposite and evilouse side of them makes me feel annoyed overtime... Still Dad don't seem to notice the changes he brought around me... He was supposedly the one to protect me... But for some reasons.. He's not suitable to be called as my father instead... Therefore i conclude that i needed to finished my studies and graduated besides if i can no longer rely on him.. I don't have to worry getting along with them because it's too much... Why do I end up like this... Ann jus treatment towards me was too annoying... Maybe because i rejected her you know... I'm not boasting how i look like but rather i was imature or not.. Regarding my looks... Many of my male classmates and even other levels envied my looks... So overtime i got bullied because of that... Girls haggling around me even if i don't have intentions doing so... The world's around me revolve only in my intuition that i needed to stay away from them... I totally shut them towards my world.. driving my friends away kinda hurt me so much... But i guessed it's the right thing to do... Or i was just overprotecting myself... Whatever it is, im okay with that setup... After that i became a loner myself... But i felt the tension around kinda surprised me... Im no longer being bullied... What a relief... After many years passed.. Bullies gone but i was still cautious they might come back so i continue pretending to be dumb... What i didn't expect was... The other night two years ago... Ann find a way to enter my room secretly... I let my guard down for the first time being cautious towards possible assailants to my world of peace and prosperity... That i was the only one enjoying its serenity... Back to the situation... My eyes collapsing while i was playing my favorite offline game.. Divinity original sin... Yeah i like the full story though and played it over and over again... Simulating every side to gain unidentified legendary or unique classes of weapon... Strategy base depends on the AP recovery.. on how to deal with the situation... Back again... After feeling exhausted i wrapped my body with my comfortable blanket... Not knowing someone was waiting for that opportunity... She entered my room with a duplicate key... Im all asleep safe and sound... Then the next thing i remember was... She was on my top... What the hell... What are you doing... Words came crossed my mind... I've tried to get away with that situation... But it end up... Ann torn her clothes... Her underwear appear slightly under torn pieces of her clothes... I was at fault... and she began screaming... Margaret hurriedly come into my room with my father besides her... Ann screaming so loud that waken them up in a hurry to know exactly what happened but.. Ann rush towards them and said that i invited her to my room... And i started to move and act perverted things that cause her clothes to partially shred off... No i didn't do that... That she said... Was all lies... But margaret don't have sympathy for believing my excuses... Im not making excuses... Dad??? He won't believe me either... That smirk on her lips.. I will not forget that... Honestly my father blow his fist in my face... Did i deserve this... Even if the event and night has overcome... Dad won't believe me... And so... I keep playing dumb whatever Ann would tell me like i was dancing in her palm... I shouldn't feel this way... Why Dad... He married Margaret thou, saying she can save our living... I realized Dad was easy to fool... Because his too naive... I felt pity for him... All of it was for his paintings.. paintings... paintings... Just paintings... " Paintings??" I remember one of his paintings looks like my dream just now.. 3 moons exactly the same... And a painting of a sword covered in moss... I get too excited about that sword.. " Raileeee... Buy me those barbecue.." Ann cutting my recollection... "are you paying attention.. ??remember that Dad will get mad if you didn't take good care of my needs.." Why should i follow her... All i ever wanted was to be safe around with her kind... " Okay but will you stop calling me by my first name I was older than you, I will buy it but first stop calling me by my name ok ..!!" "Then what do I call you?.loser huh!!" My emotions exploding in mine alone... But i must stay calm even if her words were deceiving me... "Just bigbro ok..." "Bigbro??? So boring... My pet is such dumber that i tought.. " "Yeah just like that.." "gross but if mom finds out, your father will be... You know what will happen..you just spoil the fun pathetic.." "yeah I know..." Dumber or what... Avoiding comfrontation with this spoiled stepsister was good thing to do with my current situation... " Then don't ask me what will I call you coward..." "Okay I'll just buy you barbecue..." I can't demand I'm just a coward what should I do... Father will not getting his allowance for his paintings if I didn't obey my step sis... I did buy a barbeque for her... And after that time to go home i guess... What if can left this world maybe no one will remember me... That way maybe i will free myself with this chain of imprisonment... I was thinking this suddenly i bumped to a person.. "Ouch sorry I didn't mean it".. I was slowly looking to the person whoever I bumped... When realized it was Angela and my hands on her ohhh my God.. " take off your hand you pervert Railee..." Ann said... What was that feeling of desires...makes me want more... "Angela I'm so sorry, I.., I didn't see you coming please forgive me.. Ehhahaha.." Playing dumb again... Like it was neverending situation... " just look where you walking ok...!!" Angela smiled... I remember my hands touching the Angels gate a door to heavens... Pak!!!! sound of Ann's bag a clear hit on my head... Honestly that bag help me out to get back to reality... "Aawww that hurts" I shouted.. "You pervert why shouting now.. " Ann's was very angry.. I pissed her again... That nasty devil presence... My instincts form a conclusion... I can't bear this anymore... My regrets trying to explode inside of me... "Comeback here pervert..." Words didn't even reached my ears.. I keep on running running... Why do I run?? I remember again.. Angela she was my crush when we were only 7 years old up until now... "Khaaa " "I think I lost Ann " What a sign of relief... Where am i.. i totally lost my patience out there... I was on the cliff west side beach.. Why i ended up here... I noticed a child on the railings!! What... He somewhat balancing himself along with his friends i guess... Just as i ignore them.. I must get home... You know stuff House choires... the boy slowly moving.. What i noticed what.. He was trembling... He got my eye to observed somehow... seems he was trying to balance himself on a railing... And the two was... Bullying him??? I felt sorry for you too... Nowadays bullying existing in our society.. Government issues anti bullying law which non existence in my current situation... His foot slip... Just my imagination... I was distracted and feel sad... i felt something crawling through my very veins... My body just move naturally... That i didn't intended to do so... But I was right the boy slip his right foot... it was slowmo ... every milliseconds counting,... my every move calculating,.. I can save the boy, .. I must save the boy... that was all of sudden,... I grab his hand , and pulled him back.. I can throw him back, seems i think.. I used all my energy to pull this boy out of danger.. I gasp all my strength to make it and I did it.. but me!!... I was falling down the cliff I can see the rocks... Don't worry about me... I regreted i was born already... Guessed it's the right time to end my insanity anyway... Im hearing the waves of water while hitting shallow rocks below... This must be my end... Is this adrenaline rush!!.. if you are falling too fast... everything will be so damn too slow... And they must be damn right... Bye Angela.... By dad... Bye everyone... Im sorry to be a burden to you all.. Tears flashes while i was falling down.. Just give me proper funeral... Right before i closed my eyes it was a flash of light ... So bright that i can't see.... " Khaaa...." It's okay im dying anyway... " O..." I was so surprised... Am i dead now...?? butwhere am I?? "graahhhhhh" o.." When the place slowly portraying images of people and vendors.... But when it was clear ..!! Where is san Pedro?? I asked the people around... But none replied instead... The image of a guy I can see now so clearly... I was shocked... I was in the middle of some kind of a market... And a galleon on the mountain top?? Just like Noah's ark.. seriously... And the, people looking and watching at me nervously... They grab their knives, baton, and what is that? a bow??!! A sword...??? Noo.... And their looks so unatural and they're not human what???.... You're joking right... This scene must be on some anime I've watched... But is this really true? The last I thought was I was falling on the cliff then bright light appears... woaalllaaa... Did i transfer to another world...??? Seriously!!! I'm here in this unknown places... I can't understand them they can't understand me... They're back to their normal basis... And they start ignoring me... I dont understand what they were saying... I heard footsteps rushing towards me... Wearing lightweight chestplate armor... Spear and a shield both in their hands... I guessed it looks like a legion from the movie 300 to describe them... They stop... Saying words that i dont understand... One of the approaching towards me.. Maybe it was their commander or superior different from their armor... He said words that i dont understand... Therefore he pointed his spear unto me.. I can't help but terrified... So I just raised my hand and do nothing...

When It Rains, It Pours
A train of thought compendium.I have them every now and then. Or to be more accurate, they have me. One offs. Shorts. Tales. Parables. Fables. And other weird things. This line has no schedule. No track number. No set destination. Sometimes it's an El. At other times, a space shuttle, taxi, caravan or fast moving treadmill. And every now and then it's a subway passing through underground caverns, littered with cobwebs. These sporadic ideas pop into my head at the weirdest of times. Some end in the middle. Some end with a fizzle. Some end with a bang.
