At least Sasuke had had a family, once. 250 words
Further to Fall
Sasuke has never been able to understand why people think he always had it all. He's always felt weak and deprived. Even that moron Naruto had someone to watch over him, but Sasuke at eight, untrained, unprepared, unsuspecting, suddenly had nothing, no one. They think that he moved to an apartment because he wanted to, that his self-deprivation was his own choice, as training. They were wrong.
He didn't know what to do with the bodies. He didn't know what to do when the food was gone. The Uchiha always took care of themselves, so nobody came while he lived in the stink of rot and went without food, and shivered through the night, eyes open because he knew that if he closed them, he would see what Itachi showed him. He didn't know what the papers with lines of numbers on them were, until the lights stopped working and the water stopped running, and the collectors came to take his home away.
"Keh!" Naruto says to him once, broken and choking, as his eyes waver between blue and red, "At least you had a family."
At least he had a mother and father, and a brother, and an uncle and aunt, and cousins, and friends. At least he knew what to miss. At least he got to see them die, playing on and on and over again in twisted rounds against his eyelids. At least he was too weak to die himself.
At least he had further to fall.
