TW: Mentions of murder, burial, slight mention of drugs

I woke up from my dream shaking at what I saw, I knew my parents wouldn't be home for a few days so I decided it was time to burry the corpse that was slowly rotting away in to room next door. I walk across the snowy grass and find a spot to start digging, I drag his withered body out to the yard and placed his body in the dirt, I saluted to him and started filling the hole back up. I dreaded the long conversation ahead once my parents got back from fighting in the brutal war going on between the two countries, the disbelief and horror on their faces will be engraved into my brain like carved wood. No pain could ever come across my body more hurtful than losing my brother, he was everything that ever motivated me. I lost my cool with out him, I killed a man for Christ sake, what was I meant to do with myself. I sit and sob for a bit longer and then gave up being sorry for myself, "God I am so selfish, wanting to fight in a war just to end up like Michael and Tommy," I mutter to myself. This world we lived in was so messed up with way to return to it's normal state, not that it was ever not good looking, it was always sort of just out of place. I always felt like I wasn't normal or that I didn't belong to such a loving family like like this one. We did have our own  secrets and dark pasts that no one knew about, this family is beyond stable, even thought there is love, there is also pain and lies. I lie down in on the floor of my living room and think about how the other side had stolen the most valuable thing to my parents, their first child. They could have had anything else, our money, our weapons, our food, anything other than Michael. I wish it was me over him, I would have gladly had my life taken over his. I stare out the window and wonder how much Tommy had to go through at the young age of 9 years old, I heard he got involved with drugs bit that's another story. I was contemplating taking a walk trough the L'manburg Ruins to get my mind off of everything that just happened. I made up my frazzled mind and leave towards the area that started my new family.
