The Misfortunate One

All Alone

Every day I wake up now seems emptier. Trapped inside a void that no one can pull me out of. Nurses coming in and out of the house checking up on me. That's when I started to hear a faint call in the distance. "Hello is this Arion; this is your parents we called to let you know we're coming over to help for a while. "After 18 years they finally are choosing to help me. My thoughts filled up with rage making me immediately hang up the phone.

After hanging up the phone and sitting for hours I heard a doorbell sound and a couple knocks. I finally answered the door for my parents and the first thing they asked me was if I ate anything. I said no because the last thing I ate was when my caretaker was here earlier. So, they told me it was perfect for dinner time guiding me towards the table. Food was distributed amongst ourselves and a brief silence was exchanged. The first thing I thought to do was let out an icebreaker to break the tension between us "so how have you both been these years". All that happened next was them going on and on about how sorry they are and how they were young. I ran to the bathroom to cool off but something edged me to not come out and listen in on the door.

I heard whispers between my mom and dad. My dad said "do you think he really knows where the money she left behind is located". "No, I don't but quiet down I think he could hear us". "No shot he's in the bathroom we saw him go in their himself". My heart dropped immediately I hurried out of the bathroom and made an excuse saying Its time for my nighttime walks alone and headed out the door. Walking down the street with my ID cane in one hand and my hand on my eyes to stop the tears from rolling down. Since I'm sensitive to sounds when I turned the corner, I heard a help me Mr. they're chasing me! Reaching out in front I felt a small trembling hand in front of me. Grabbing it I ran in any direction and pulled off into a nearby alley way. Catching my breath for a few seconds I told the little boy it is going to be alright. That's when I heard a cocking sound which guns make.

"Bang!" Three shots of gunfire headed towards my body and my body tensed up. Feeling a shortness in my breath I started to cough up clumps of blood. My last thought to myself was "Why did it have to end like this so young?"
