Chapter 1

Sora scrubbed the dishes frantically. His dad would be home at any time and he didn't want his dad to be angry. They was the last thing Sora wanted. He looked at the clock which read 5:30 and looked at the dishes still in the sink. Why did he even bother? He heard the car engine in the driveway, and started to scrub faster. Maybe this time would be different. Maybe this time he wouldn't get punished.

He heard the door slam open and his dad stumbled in,

"Sora! Did you finish yet?" his dad said, his voice slurred

"No dad." Sora said and gulped, feeling the tears coming

"Come over here!" His dad yelled

"yes sir" Sora said and , and walked as slowly as possiable to his dad.

Sora looked up at his dad, into the dark brown eyes that had so much anger in them. He looked down again and waited for the worst.

THUMP!

Sora found himself down on the cold kitchen floor, the pain coming swiftly. He yelped as his dad kicked him again and again. Finally the kicks stopped.

"Get up you worthless piece of shit!" his dad sneered

Sora slowly got up and looked back into those angry brown eyes.

"Now finish those dishes!" His dad yelled, as he left the room. Sora felt the tears fall into the sink as he scrubbed the last few dishes. He finished and went into his room and laid on the bed.

As he fell asleep he thought over his life. Why was this happening to him? Why did he not say anything? Why couldn't he just be normal?
