Light Threw the Darkness

Bastian looked at the knife he held in his hands soon he would kill himself. He needed to stop this, he wanted it to end, everything he ever touched died, his mother, Atreyu died thanks to him for a short time and now this. He had finally had a real family, how could that just be taken away from him in one swoop. His life was supposed to be his neverending story, that's what he was told, it was a lie. It would end, here and now that Bastian would be sure of. He stepped into a bathroom, he was in his house, or what used to be he his house, he was supposed to be gathering his things, with no living relatives and the recent matters he now belonged to the government. Well fuck the government soon he was not going to belong to anyone. He looked in the mirror, God it had only happened 2 days ago.

They had promised they would be back soon, hey they were only going to a movie, it was some drama or something that Bastian didn't want to see, Nicole had told him it was because he was immature. He stayed home and watched some tv when he heard a knock at the door when he answered it he was greeted by cops. They had told him there had been a car accident, his stepmom, his father, his stepsister had all been killed. Once again fate had found away to take more away from him. Well it would end know at least. Before he could act there was a knock at the door and a thud on the floor. Bastian looked over, it couldn't have been the social service people yet could it? He walked over to the door and a brown package lay on the floor. Bastian opened the door but no one was there. He bent down and picked up the package that was rapped in plain brown paper. A small piece of white paper was taped on to the middle of it.

'I know your going threw a hard time right now, but you can find the strength to go on.

Mr. Koreander' was written on the paper.

Bastian could tell from the shape of the rectangular what was in the package, the NeverEnding Story.
