Pita-ten: Kotarou's Story
Red.
The color of blood.
That was the only color i could see that day.
The day my mom died.
The truck was coming.
Fast.
She pushed me out of the way.
And died.
That was when I relized that I was just in the way of everyone's happiness.
I was shocked.
I was covered in her blood.
I was a little kid that didn't know that he just lost his mother.
I was...alone.
Then a few years later, I met her.
an angel. my savior.
I loved her.
She loved me.
But we couldn't be.
She was an angel.
And I was human.
I couldn't be with her.
So I let her go.
In the end, she had to leave me.
I was alone again.
But I had my friends.
They were always with me.
They had my back.
They made me happy when i was sad.
But now they are gone.
I am in college now.
In the end they had to leave me too.
Everyone has left me.
I am ALONE.
I don't know what to do.
All the people that have given my life meaning has left.
I went to my old apartment and sat there.
I remembered all the great times that happened.
I never wanted to lose that smile on my face.
But i did.
All i did then was wish and wish for someone to be with me.
Then it happened.
Misha was there.
I couldn't believe it.
She was right there.
She looked so beautiful.
She ran up to me and glomped me.
It was the same glomp I used to find annoying.
But now i find it very relieving.
I was happy again.
We went to the amusement park and played all day.
It was the best time of my life.
Then it happened.
Kobishi and Ten-chan were there.
Everyone that i had missed like crazy were back together again.
We all played like we were little kids again.
I didn't want it to end.
I was so happy.
I had forgotten what happiness had felt like until that moment.
Then it was the end of the day.
They all had to leave.
Even Misha.
I would be alone again.
But that little happiness was enough.
I walked home.
Then it happened.
A car was coming.
Fast.
And no one was there to help me this time.
But then i thought,
At least no one will have to die for me anymore.
As the car came closer and closer, I heard a noise.
It was beeping louder and louder.
It sounded very familier.
Like I have heard it a lot.
Then it happened,
I woke up.
Yes, it was a dream.
Misha didn't really come back.
And Kobishi and Ten-chan didn't come back either.
We didn't play together at the amuesment park.
It was all a dream.
Even if it was a dream I was happy.
Just being able to see everyone again (even if it isn't real) was happiness for me.
That was the best dream I have ever had.
I didn't feel alone anymore.
