A little boy walking in the snow,
River of tears shall no longer flow.
What are you looking for, little child?
Can you already feel I am by your side?
Yes, I am the wind that whispers in your ear
A forbidden lullaby, you know your death is near,
And, little child, your heart will stand still,
And the loneliness you'll no longer feel
Hurried whispers and startled shout woke him up, even though they came from the street. He slowly raised his head and blinked away the last weds of sleep and shaking his head, making the shackles and chains around him clang. The little boy sat in his cell-like room and waited for the familiar sound of the rotting wooden door opening while he stared aimlessly around the darkness. With a screech, the door opened into a slit that cast a ray of faint light on the floor and the boy's thin face, and he could see a horrified woman standing behind it. "H-here's your breakfast..." said the woman in her hoarse, frightened voice as she threw a bowl that held a brownish mesh into the room. The boy's wide, light red eyes turned to face her and she flinched and hid a little more behind the door. "thank you… mother…" he said in a frighteningly shallow, monotone voice as his mother shut the door, it's rotten edges making a sickening as it slammed against the rough wall. He slowly approached near the bowl in the dark room, and dipped his hand inside it, taking a handful of the sticky dough and shoving it into his mouth. A few minutes afterward the only thing left in the bowl was a disgusting brown residue and the boy crawled back to his place against the concrete wall. Suddenly, two glowing crimson spots lit in the room and the boy squirmed in agony as his eyes changed their color, just like every year, and like every year the process felt like his bone are on fire. Oh yes, it was approaching… that fateful day's anniversary…
