Your Past Is Not Today

{•Entry #27•}

Running... That was all I knew what to do. Everyone I've ever cared about have told me to run endlessly to the corners of this world or another to stay hidden. I don't know why I'm the one who carries this power or how I came to carry it. Whispers from all over the street tell me that I was born with these powers,which I don't really believe to be true.

To you the absolute truth,I have no idea on what is true or fake anymore. I've been alone for so long that I had slowly forgotten what it meant to be loved. I was broken like glass,ripped like paper when my beloved parents left me behind after they were involved in a really large argument,allowing me to become an easy target for people who would always come after me for my powers. They put up a pretty good fight but lost in the end.

The memories still linger in my mind,haunting me in my dreams. I've been having nightmares on those past experiences for a few weeks now and nobody knows about it,not even Doughnut Lord or Pretzel Lady... They keep asking me about what's been going on with me and I cover up the truth by saying that I stay up late watching TV,which is kind of true. I usually watch stuff on Netflix until I pass out, which happens at around 10:00 at night,maybe 11:00. I think of it as a really good way to forget all about the worries you may have,including fears of tripping on the past.

I haven't been able to step outside at all either due to this. Doughnut Lord keeps insisting that I'm really sick and is always ordering me to rest. I really do try and get some sleep before the sun comes up to say hi,it's just that the nightmares always repeat themselves each time I fall asleep. Every last inch of sanity left in me is slowly fading away as each day passes by.

Why won't all of it stop? Why am I living this torturous existence? None of these questions might not have any answers yet,but that won't stop me from trying to find them. I need help,but who would help a tiny space hedgehog like me...? Nobody.... They would think I'm a threat due to causing that power outage a few months ago. It feels like I've been stuffed in a box and the only way out is to speak to someone... Talk about the truth..

Well,I better try and head to sleep now.... I promised Doughnut Lord that I'd help him clear out the neighbor's attic tomorrow. From what I've heard, it's a great dust magnet. He also told me that here's also a lot of junk in there that the neighbor wants to hand over to us,so that's gonna be fun. I'll be sure to write about that if I get a decent amount of sleep tonight... See ya soon.

Sonic sighed. He didn't want to keep having dreams that brought back horrid memories of his past life. He glanced at the two pages that he had filled with his thoughts about the situation and tried his best to not think about his past losses. He had a brand new family in a new home now,so it was a fresh start for him,a new opportunity to create treasured memories. A smile managed to break through his frown,going from one end of his muzzle to the other. He had everything he ever asked for as a small child and he couldn't be happier. There was something about it that really bugged him too.
