Chapter 1
Time will forever continue to pass at its consistent speed as only time can.
Walls are now decorated with frozen memories and moments in time; polished picture frames reflect back any light they can catch. In a wooden frame lies a photo of a small four-year-old boy, clutching a book tightly to his chest. His gray eyes sparkle and a shy smile softens his mostly sharp features. Messy black hair that sticks out in every possible direction frames his face, slipping into his eyes ever so slightly. In the background a cherry blossom tree stands proudly in bloom, allowing the petite pink flowers to float in the breeze all around the little boy. It was Audrey's favorite picture and she couldn't help but smile every time she saw it.
Lonnie Lawliet was a strange boy indeed – not strange with the implication that he was associated with odd things, but strange in the way that was in one word, indescribable. By the time he was six months he was talking and saying sentence fragments; a few weeks later he was able to hold a conversation. And when he turned a year old, he had already been walking for a month. Not to mention that he started reading at the age of one and a half years – sure, they had been small children's books at first but as time progressed he had advanced to adult books within less than three years.
He was no doubt intended to do grand things with his life, whether it be for the greater good or for evil it was still too early to tell. The only certainty:
Lonnie Lawliet would make a name for himself, a name the whole world would one day recognize.
Author's Note: I apologize that this chapter was so incredibly short, I had intended it to be longer, but unfortunately I failed to do so. I would also like to apologize for having taken so long to update (in my defense – if I'm allowed one – a lot of things have been going on and it's been difficult to write with so many occurrences happening at the same time). I really do hope you enjoyed this chapter despite its length and I promise the next one will be longer. Thank you so much for reading! Please review.
