Maniacal Serenade

It's strange...it's so quiet now. It's the kind of silence that really isn't silent, because echoes of what just happened are screaming in your mind and body...what did just happen?

       There's blood on my hands...and the walls. There's blood everywhere. I'm not sure where it came from...is it my blood? No, not mine...definantly not my blood. Wait...

       Who am I?

       I have a name...I know I have a name. What was it...God damnit what was my name...

       FATHER!!!!

       "Dad? Dad!? Are you there!? I can...almost see him. Father, my father...he's right there, I can almost touch him...Dad! NO! Don't leave! DAD!"

       My Dad...what was his name...my name...This house, is it mine? I can't remember...damned memory. The blood isn't mine, the house can't be mine, can it...the screams are getting louder in my head. They aren't my screams...they're the screams of...people...and I killed them...each one of them.

       The damned screams, they just won't stop...This house...pictures, of me? Is that me? I haven't seen a mirror in so long, but maybe I have, I can't remember. God damnit, where's the mirror?

       Who

             Am

                   I?

       Would you just stop screaming in my head you bitch!!!??? You screamed that way the entire time I killed you!!! Now you're DEAD! SO STOP MAKING NOISE!

I need to find a mirror…where is the mirror…

"Where the hell is the mirror!?"

A burst of energy shoots from my body, slamming into a wall and through to the other side…then once again, that eerie silence…and the screams. The screams that don't stop. They don't make sense! Whose screams, and why am I hearing them, nobody is here! Nobody alive…

STOP IT! STOP!

Sense? Brief fragments of words…I can't understand, I don't know…damnit! Where is the mirror!?

WHY!? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS…?

      Wait...among the noise...my name...she's calling my name...that's right…

my name...

       My name...is Gohan.
