That night when you died
That's when I went insane
All my life trying to play nice like they wanted me to and
There we were
Them trying to kill us
Because we were dangerous
Half human Half Enderman
They said we were mobs who needed to die
They said we had no feelings
Now I wish I didn't
It hurts all the time
I can't forget
I can't stop remembering
I wish I had no feelings because then I wouldn't feel the pain
Not the physical injuries
Those faded long ago
Although I get more every night
The pain of watching them kill you
That's what hurts the most
You were six
I was ten
How was that a fair fight?
I fought as hard as I could but they still did it
They thought I was dead so they left me
Neither of us could respawn because we're not all human
But I didn't die
Grief and anger and feelings so inhuman they don't have names
That's what kept me alive
I'm an animal now
The hostile mob they think I am
Anyone who comes into my forest dies
Painfully
And I have yet to repay the pain that I am still feeling
Kurt Hunter sighed, letting the quill and book fall to the floor. He massaged his right hand, his muscles screaming with the pain. It had been four years since he'd tried to write, and he almost couldn't remember how. It had been four years since he'd left human civilization behind; he hadn't needed to write.
But now, he had arbitrarily decided to write things down. It hurt, not just making his hand go through the unfamiliar movements, but also the putting it down on paper. Bringing everything to the forefront of his mind.
He picked up the book and quill again, turning to the first page. He'd torn out all the previous written-on pages -the book had belonged to someone who had been caught in his forest- and tried to write down something that summed up his life. His writing was blocky and childish, as if he was just learning his letters, and words were misspelled, punctuation left out entirely.
He took a deep breath and curled his fingers around the quill.
Day 1
I don't know why I'm doing this
Maybe because I'm finally going crazy
Or maybe because I want to become sane again
Am I tired of this life?
I don't know
When I think of what Esi would think
I feel sick and guilty
But when I think of what they did to her
The anger blocks everything out
Sometimes I wonder if there's anyone who doesn't hate me
Mom maybe
I had a cousin who left a year before it happened
It was his brother who did it
My cousin Kave killed my little sister
My other cousin's name was Kimon
I wonder if he would understand
I remember a girl when I was little
She didn't mind me being weird
Or how my eyes glowed purple when I was angry
I can't remember her name
I don't care whether people hate me or not
I am apart from all of them
They killed Esi
They deserve the same fate
I know I'm crazy
And I don't care
