It was a nice October afternoon, the leafs were in different soft shades of orange, red, yellow and brown. A man, appearing to be in his early twenties was siting on a bench under a big old tree with thick branches, which were casting a nice shadow on him.
He had his eyes closed and enjoyed the rather unusual silence. Instead of hearing the laughter of kids or the laud noises from cars, there was only silence.
The man opened his eyes and looked around the park, there were young mothers with their children, laughing and talking. The man took a deep breath and focused his gaze on the beautiful blue sky, there were no clouds.
He heard a soft noise and looked in front of himself, only to find a small child looking directly at him. The kid had light skin, chocolate brown hair and eyes with the color of clouds before a big storm. It was dressed with a cream colored shirt and green shorts. The child had it's eyes focused directly on the man, the man looked the child and the child continued to look at him.
At first the young male pretended he didn't see the kid, but since it was continuing to look at him, the man looked the small child in the eyes and just when he was about to ask the kid what it was he was interrupted.
"Can you see me?" The chocolate haired kid said, while looking the man directly in the eyes.
The young man only raised his eyebrow and thought the kid either had a strong imagination or something wasn't alright with it. Th fair skinned kid reaped the question again, but this time slightly anxious.
The man sighed "Of course, I see you. You're around 1 meter and 10 centimeters, you look around eight or nine years old, you have brown hair and green-gray eyes and your skin is fair. Why are you asking such a question, do you have a problem with your eyes?"
The kid frowned slightly and answered "No, my eyes are fine. You're a young man around twenty or so, you have brown colored dreadlocked hair, you're wearing a gray suit, your eyes are red and you have some strange green googles next to you." The kid described the man, so it can prove it's eyes are perfectly fine.
The young man had a rather confused expression and asked "Then why are you asking, if you're invisable?"
The kid sighed and said "Because when I come home from school and say 'Good day' to my dad, he just ignores me and continuos to drink from his beer. He doesn't see or hear me... Or when comes back home and I ask her, if she bought the textbook I asked for, she only takes her phone put and starts to talk with a friend or colleague of hers. Also when I'm in school and the teacher asks a question and I raise my hand she doesn't even look at me and let's another kid answer it."
The man had a rather surprised look on his face and was just about to ask something, but was again intruded by the child.
"A week ago I wanted to check, if I really am invisable, so I went into a candy shop and took a chocolate, I went out and nobody saw what I did. Again, they didn't hear or see me"
The man was stunned, he didn't know what to say, so he staid quit, while the small child continued.
"Maybe I'm not invisible all the time, maybe I'm invisible from time to time, but it's not nice when I want to talk with my parents! Like yesterday, I was right next to dad and I told him I got an A in class, but he just continued to sip his beer and smoke his cigarette. Or one night mom was crying and I asked her what's wrong, she only stood up from the floor and went to the kitchen."
The child turned around and went away, the young man was about to stop the kid and ask where it's going and what's it's name, but the child was gone. The only thing the man heard from the kid was a soft sight.
