Parfait: Hey everyone :3 thank you for reading Curses~
Remember: While I wish the characters of Yugioh! belonged to me, they do not.
The rain is my blanket, pouring heavy and steady against my torn flesh. Blood and dirt drip off of me and spill to the street cobbles, washing away like water down the drain. Here I stay resting alone, safe, in the middle of the night. It doesn't matter that I am drenched to the bone or that this is my only clothes for the next few days maybe. My stomach snarls but there is nothing to eat and no money in my pocket. In this alley way there is probably something edible amongst its many garbage cans, but I have no strength to get up again to search through anything.
I lean against the brick wall and peer up at the sky, squinting in the rain, to see no stars, no moon, no nothing- just the uneven roofs above framing the black abyss. My eyes slowly close and open again. Sleep is finally deciding to engulf its prey. I close my eyes again and even more slowly, I open them once more. My breath loud in my ears, the rain drowns out all the other noise of the city. Looking to my arms, I'm relieved that those black scales have disappeared despite them leaving my skin bloody and mangled.
This is my life these days. Pulling my hoodie as far over my face as possible, I crouch into a small ball. I wiggle out the little electronic recorder I managed to accidently steal the other day. I turn it on and keep the plastic bag that I keep it in mostly around it to protect it from the rain. I press record.
"There is something wrong with me. I don't know what happened down the line, but I must have done something terribly wrong to be punished in this way. I don't know how long I have left on this planet, or at least, how much longer I will own this body. Before I lose myself, I want you, whoever you are, to know who I am. My name is Joey Wheeler. I go to Domino high school. My best friend's names are Yugi, Tristan and Tea. I love to eat and live a pretty average life….
…but not anymore, I think I am cursed…
…I have been randomly mutating. At first I just had these strange scales grow out on my skin- almost like fingernails, they would stay for a bit, and then they would fall off. They were so thin that they were easy to pick off. It hurt about as much as hangnail. Now things are much worse. In random, much, much more painful spurts, these little 'fingernails' have become full grown scales-thicker than a quarter and sharp enough to tear through anything. They have spread all over my body now. I have claws that burst from my fingertips, which feels like my bone exploding out every time it happens. I look like someone who was buried alive and tried to scratch their way out of their coffin.
Today's addition to the mutation is a tail. It didn't progress slowly like the scales. It just burst from the bottom of my spine- long, black and spiny. I almost died from the pain on the spot. I can't even begin to describe it. I threw up a few times before that other thing took over.
That's the worst part of all of this, every time it happens, I further lose the ability to connect mentally with myself. It terrifies me. That's the reason I'm recording this. I feel the mutation happening, and then I wake up in some random place. I can feel something else pushing me into my own head and taking over. I hope that I don't end up killing someone while this other thing is pulling the reigns. If I do and you already saw it on the news before hearing this, it really wasn't my intention. I'm not a good person but I never wanted to kill anyone…." I stop the tape. When I play it back, my voice is shaky and the rain makes the recording very crackly. I feel a few tears drip down, or maybe it is just the rain.
If you have the time, or enjoy/hated what you read- please tell me about it I'd love to hear from you~R&R
Love,
