This is something that I didn't think I would be writing about; I almost don't believe it myself. It's all too unreal. Maybe what happened was all just a dream and me breaking from reality. I imagined things a lot as a kid, but oddly enough, this felt real. I always noticed the strange and unusual things in my daily life, and it was scary to me. I would see monsters floating in the air, watching people like sharks waiting to attack.
I didn't think the creatures were aware of the fact I was aware of them; the shinigami, gods of death.
I knew the shinigami were Japanese urban legends who could see the lifespans of all humans, they knew exactly when you were going to die. You could be given the ability to see others lifespans if you allowed the shinigami to take half of your life. That's a price I hoped no one would pay. I learned a terrible truth over the years, people will do anything when it comes to gaining power, even if it means taking lives. They also had notebooks called Death Notes, if someone's name was written in it, then they would die.
I was immune to this power, but I didn't know why. Even the shinigami didn't know why.
Whoever had the Death Note, I was able to see what they did with it.

I learned what it was like to lose almost everything I loved, all because my brother wanted power.
