...
I woke up late at night.
I heard an explosion. BOOM! It was loud like that.
I tried to sleep again and then another BOOM! My house was on fire after that one.
It began with the kitchen. I went downstairs and I saw the kitchen on fire, a hole in the wall and two beings with yellow eyes and point hats, no faces, they were black like the night. They had no faces and they felt no pain as they walked in the middle of the flames.
I went to mom and dad's bedroom, I had to tell them about those things I saw in the kitchen. They moved slowly, like they wanted to give us the chance to escape while knowing we wouldn't. I know because I... I poked her many times, but there was no reaction.
They were dead. They died in bed, in their sleep. Without pain... Without feeling anything. I did not hear them yell.
That BOOM! I heard before... It made a big hole in their bedroom, but I just did not care. I had no time to care. See these burns? It's what I got by trying to care. The things I saw in the kitchen came upstairs and they... You know what they did, look at my fingers. Only six out of ten. I know how to count, I saw two things and they did this to me, to mom, dad... They did not care.
Yesterday, I saw the Queen of Alexandria on the main avenue. I heard from people that she went here to talk with the King in person, and I could tell with the only eye I've got that she was sad, like, so sad about us and she was going to compensate for our losses with a big reward. I don't know how big it is because I haven't seen it yet. I could have seen so many things with both eyes, places where mom and dad could take me to... Somewhere better than this rainy shithole.
