The boy with the blue rose.
Prologue
As I walk through the art gallery, I see the paintings that have haunted me. I walk briskly but cautiously, still afraid they will come and kill me again. But as of now, I think even the artworks know I have won. As I head towards the exit from this place, I picture all the times that have led me here, the people I've met, the horror I've faced, the sacrifices made in my name… No. I think to myself. I won't let that stop me now. I push on ahead. He wouldn't want me to cry.
As I reach a painting of the world I call home, I look around for one last time. This is it. I think. As I go to exit, I hear my name.
"Ib."
I stop in my tracks. I know that voice.
No.
"Ib!" I turn to see his face. "I was looking for you! You went off on your own!"
No.
"I said I'd catch up, didn't I?" He stepped towards me. "Sheesh! I was worried!"
No.
"Anyway Ib, I think I found an exit!"
It can't be true.
"It's not here, it's over there." He smiles sweetly at me. "Wanna go check it out?"
I look down, my face in the shadows. I'm on the verge of tears, too scared, sad and stunned to speak.
"Hey, Ib, this way!"
I still look down as I say my one last word.
"Liar."
Then I jump into my own world.
