My Giant Dream

My Life

It was a sunny morning. A beautiful golden light appeared from the clouds as its rays pierced through a small window in a room

A boy stirred awake as he noticed the sun hitting his eyes. He rubbed them and stretched as he got out of the bed. His brown hair was messy and ruffled and his eyes were half closed

He did his morning routine and noticed his parents' room was empty. Good, they're gone, he thought as he went outside to have a walk

His village is close to a dark forest. It looks nice in the day, but at night, it gives people goosebumps and stay away from it

The male yawned as he walked into the forest. He only likes to come to the front area. He has never explored deeper and he has no intentions

He sat with his back on the tree as he smiled. He touched his arm and felt a mark of a scratch and his smile dropped. He rubbed it and sighed

He stood up and walked back home as he began to work. He did the laundry, washed dishes, checked on the crops, cleaned the restrooms, mopped the house, dusted, and worst of all, cleaning his parents' cigars and beer bottles

His real parents died. He is an orphan and was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Kendall. They abuse him for not cleaning and they mistreat him every time he tries to talk back to them

He wipes his tears and takes out the trash. He went to the barn to check on the animals and noticed his neighbor petting the horse

She had light pink hair and she wears glasses. He turned to see the male and waved, "Morning, George!"

George sighed. He loved hanging out with her. Her sweet voice always seem to make him feel better and she is the only one who knows how his "parents" treat him

George: Morning, Niki

Niki: How you doing?

George: You know, the usual

Niki: Wait, is that a scratch?!

George looked to see the scratch he made 3 days ago, the one from his arm. He sighed, "Yeah. I used a knife and I wanted to...you know...end it."

Niki felt tears and hugged George. He was almost as tall as her, but only 2 inches taller than her. He is a small boy, yet average height

Niki: If you want to end it *sniff*, go ahead. I'll always remember you

George: I don't have to

Niki: But you attempted!

George: So?! What's the point of living?! My life is literally clean, wait, get abused, and repeat! I have no change! It's the same fucking shit over and over again!

George dropped and covered his face with both hands. He sobbed and Niki hugged the male. She soothed him and sang a lullaby
