《Normal is boring》1
Advertisement
I don't feel like myself. My foster parents know it and Jax knows it too. Ashlyn's words and music are the only things that make me feel like I can be myself.
Like I'm having nightmares and I keep waking up in the middle of the night.
Nightmares about my parents' deaths. Nightmares about the future. Nightmares about people not excepting me for who I am. For who I want to be.
When I'm lying awake in my bed, I always know I can't go back to sleep. So I go to the beach to clear my head.
I miss my parents. Dad died when I was around two years old, it's now nearly fourteen years ago, he was coming back from a work trip but his plane crashed. I don't really remember him, only from the photos that are made.
My mother died almost a year ago. There was a fire in our house, my mom told me and my brother to run, but she was too late. Now I'm in a foster home. We are waiting for adoption.
Every day I miss my parents. Even my father. What if they had lived? Where would we live now? Are Jax and I ever going to get adopted? There are too many questions popping in my head.
It's around 6.00 A.M. I decide what I'm going to the beach. It's a short walk, about a mile. I change in my shorts and a soccer shirt. It's my Krieger one. I love her and Ashlyn the most. They are one of the best players, even when Jill Ellis thinks not the same, I adore them.
They are the one who stimulates me, even though I didn't ever get to meet them. I hope I can meet them one day. After I have changed in my other clothes I get my phone from the charger put in my earbuds. I open Spotify and go to the playlist with my favorite music.

It's a lot of rock music. I love the Dutch band Kensington, but also Alter Bridge and Editors. Other people at my school think they are bad, but their music gives me chills. Kinda weird when there a lot of guitar sounds and some people singing. But when there are guitars I like it.
I walk to the beach. I live in Satellite Beach. It is a city in Florida. It's kind of funny that Ashlyn Harris is born and raised around here. I never saw her, but maybe I will meet her once.
The weather is nice. In shorts an a tee shirts it's nice. There is a little bit of wind and there aren't any clouds. I'm in deep thoughts when I arrive at the beach. I'm thinking about my future. Will I get a new loving family? Will I get a partner and kids? Will I play for the USWNT? Will I do what I want to do?
There are a few people surfing. The waves are high and the water is clear. I love watching them, I don't have the money to buy a surfboard, so I just watch them. I love to see people having fun, loving the weather and enjoying their free time. I concentrate so much on my music and the surfing kids and parents, I don't even realize that someone is sitting next to me.
It's a woman. She has short hair and a lot of tattoos. Next to her is her surfboard. It's a blue one, a light blue. I don't pay attention to her. I'm in my own little world. A world where people are loved, women's soccer is a world sport and there are peace and LGBT acceptance.
When my favorite song comes on, my eyes begin watering. Storms is a song by Kensington. I let the tears fall in silence and just look at the ocean. I begin crying even harder when the unknown woman next to me begins to rub my back. She says a few things I can't hear because she is whispering.

"Hi, kid. It's okay. Let it all go. It's okay", the unknown woman says.
I look up in her eyes and I'm shocked. "Never thought I would my idol here," I say while crying and put a little smile on my face.
It's Ashlyn. My idol. My everything. I get to finally meet her in such a nice state of well-being. Not. She pulls out my earbuds and she just hugs me. I feel home for the first time my mom died. And I can say that was a long, long time ago.
I just cry in Ashlyn's strong and tattooed arms.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
