This is the story of my unfortunate life, the life that was never supposed to be lived. My name is Nathan and I was born to a woman named Lisa who resented me. As a young child I never knew my father because the only reason I'm around is because my father raped my mother. Unfortunately for me my mother did not have the heart to get rid of me, but she did enjoy making my life miserable because she did not want me. Now I'm eleven years old and I can't take the abuse anymore, I am going to run away. But first I need to get something to stop the bleeding, she had been slapping me and her nails raked the side of my face, I can feel the blood leaking out of the gashes and dripping down my clothes and to the floor. I went into the bathroom and got a wad of toilet paper and put it to my face, then got a long piece and wrapped it around my head to keep the wad on. Then I went into my room and got my backpack and put the few clothes I had into it. Then I quietly went to the kitchen cabinets to get some canned food and a can opener. Then my heart dropped when I heard her bedroom door open.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE!" She screamed. "I TOLD YOU TO GO INTO YOUR ROOM AND TO STAY IN THERE ALL WEEKEND!"
"I'm sorry mom I was just hungry." I lied.
"Hungry my ASS, you ate yesterday!" She yelled again. "And WHY are you wasting good TOILET PAPER!"
She slapped me across my face again, making me drop my backpack. All of my clothes and cans of food fall out.
"What were you doing with all of that?!" She asked aggressively.
"Noth-N-Nothing mother." I stammered.
" YOU LITTLE LAIR, YOU WERE GOING TO RUN AWAY, DON'T YOU EVER THINK THAT YOU CAN GET AWAY FROM ME, IF I'M STUCK WITH YOU THAN YOU ARE STUCK WITH ME!"
She started to slap me again and again. Pain in the side of my face erupted as she dug into my face with her nails, and my blood was all over the floor as she had broken my nose too. Just then time slowed down and a kitchen knife appeared in my hand. A deep gravelly man's voice in my head told me to kill her. I don't know why but I just listened to it. I looked up at my mother while time was going in slow motion and I slit her throat. As soon as I did it time went back to normal. Blood sprayed out of her neck onto my face and body as her body dropped to the floor. I watched as blood started to pool around her freshly dead body. I couldn't help but smile, after all the things she put me through all it took was a little slice and time manipulation to make it stop. Then I had the thought was that I was going to jail for the rest of my life but the man's voice in my head said do not worry all I must do is age her. At first I didn't know what that meant but then I thought about how time had slowed down so I focused on her body and tried to make it age. It worked, I watched as her body quickly decomposed. Within a minute her body was a pile of dust. Then my attention turned to my bleeding face, and I wondered if I could use my control over time to make it heal faster.
"Yes that would work." The voice said.
I focused and then I felt my check and nose healing. When they were completely healed I grabbed my stuff and booked it out of that trailer. I am finally free I told myself.
