Title: A life Alone?
Chapter 1: you did what?
We begin our story in a underused road the bird are chirping, a river flows close by and the forest scenery to the right is dense and lush in the middle of the road there is a boy a simple boy his brunet hair and green eyes under noted by its messy appearance and empty look he is dressed in a tuxedo a classy look but the suit is grimy and covered in muck. The boy looked five years of age he lived a simple life grew up like every other he was simply waiting, waiting, waiting for something to happen. As if by a message of god a car horn blared behind the child swerving to the right nearly crashing into a tree. A man steps out from the car and stalks to the boy still in the middle of the road unmoving as if nothing had transpired; he approached the boy furious at the child's stupid action. He is stunned for a moment as the man piers into the child's eyes his cold empty lifeless eyes the man was struck in complete stupor before he remembered what had just happened hoping to get a rise out of the boy he pulled out a gun hoping he would run away and get out of this dangerous place. Picking up the boy by the collar he held the gun up to the base of the boy's neck with the safety on.
"Do you have a death wish?" the man asked looking straight at the boy hoping fear a natural instinct to survive would activate making the boy run it was not to be so.
The boys eyes brightened he had a look of pure enjoyment the thought of death was a comfort for him the boy truly wished to die.
"Will this kill me?" the boy asked with sight glee in his voice he was happy it unnerved the man but kept the farce hoping that the boy would run
'What is this kid's deal?' the man asked himself looking at the boy he kept up the act. "Yes, would you let me oblige you?" The man was fumbling but it went unnoticed as the boy shook his head in a yes. The man exasperated let the boy go and slumped to the floor. "Do you really want to die?" the man asked the seriousness in his tone was a complete contrast in how he felt inside hoping to distract himself from the boys disappointed gaze he looked around the underused road no one uses it but it could take you to a specific place fast.
"Yes I really do." The boy stated determination in his voice clearly an unwavering will for self-destruction.
"Why?"
The boy sighed having to recall the catalyst to his suicidal actions. "My family was plain, my life was plain, and it was a happy life" the boys voiced cracked. 'Was' the word kept repeating in the man's head, he expected the worst and was greeted by something vile.
"I had killed them." The brunet answered nonchalantly with no hint of remorse his green eyes burning into the man who looked on in disbelief. 'He killed them?'
"You did what?" The man asked earning a hearty and goofy laugh from the five year old.
