Memories,
Chapter One
Prologue
It was Friday, April eighth, in the year 1966. Dark clouds marred the horizon, giving the afternoon a dreary feeling. And in a hospital not far off, a child had jut been born, just been given a name that would haunt him forever. Johann Faust. The eighth. The waiting room held a few family members and close friends, but their chatter was not about happy things. Rather, they were discussing the newborn's ancestor, the first Faust. Surely, they thought, this newest Faust would be the same. The same twisted dark life, stained with evil the whole way through.
"Nothing good could come from this," Someone hissed quietly. "I'm telling you, this boy will turn out just like all the others."
"Yes," Someone else whispered back, "And I heard that he has already given his soul to the Devil!"
"No!" Several people gasped.
"Yes! I have heard it for my self, straight from their very room!" This was obviously a lie, but the small group didn't care, hung up on the speaker's every word.
"What a pity, his mother was such a nice woman… To be cursed so…" Spoke another.
"It truly is a pity…Such a kind and pure soul shouldn't have to deal with that evil child… I would rather see her dead than in its vile grasp!"
"But she will love it as any mother would…"
"And that, my friend, is the worst thing of all."
But luckily, Johann was safe in his mother's arms, too young to know what was being said about him. For now he was spared; it wouldn't be that way in the future.
Sorry that was so short, but hey, it's just a prologue. This is very fun to write by the way.
(Well, after this chapter anyhoo… but you get the idea.)
