Hell Hole

Utopia

Black dragged his baby brother away from the group. Their hands were interlocked, seeking comfort from each other. White let him pull him around and show him every corner of garage. From the area where they repaired motorbikes to the small kitchen at the back. His twin looked excited to explore the space. The curiosity radiated from his every move, made Black smile. They arrived at the deepest part of the garage, where they built a nice sleeping room. Three mattresses were spread on the concrete floor far enough from each other to create space between them. Until now, Black didn't mind how it looked, but now that White was standing beside him, observing the arrangement, it somehow felt wrong. His baby brother was used to a luxury bed and thick warm blanket and not old rusty something lying carelessly on the floor. 

"It looks comfy." White smiled, hopping on their now shared mattresses and pulling him down with him. They sat side by side in complete quietness, enjoying each other presence. 

"P'Black?"

"Yes?"

"What were you doing with P'Sean, P'Gram, P'Yok and P'Gumpa before the Hell Hole opened?" 

Black was silent for a moment. He knew his baby brother was too clever for his own good, and there was no way he could lie to him. He took a deep breath before he opened his mouth.

"This world wasn't a utopia even before the Hell Hole opened. There are people seeking power at the expanse of the poor people, White. Corruption is everywhere. Our mother, that bitch was supposed to be a good judge. I was looking up to her." He had to stop talking to compose himself. He felt White squeeze his hand, giving him the courage to continue.

"I found out by accident she was taking bribes. She let a rich bastard who hit and almost killed a small child go with the lowest penalty, and the family didn't get a single cent. I was mad and confronted her. She laughed at me. That's how the world works, she said. I took my things and ran away the same night."

"Where did you go?"

"Todd. He was my only friend back then, and I thought I could trust him. But he turned out to be the same as that fake bitch. I met Gumpa later while trying to find a job." Black exhaled. 

"I am happy you met people like them." White smiled, leaning his head on his shoulder.

"How was Russia?" Black asked, even though he could imagine how the piece of shit treated his brother.

"Father stayed with me for a month before he sent me to the boarding school. It was hell. I didn't know anyone, and the language was difficult to learn. I missed you all the time." White sniffled. 

"I missed you too," Black admitted. 

"What are you doing now? It didn't look like you fight corruption anymore." White pouted.

"We are trying to find a way to defend those creatures and maybe close the Hell Hole for good. The government isn't doing shit about it." Black huffed angrily. 

"You're right. Father said no one knows what to do, and they don't care about the situation as long as they can have the power." 

"I will fucking kill him," Black growled.

"Can you do it later? I am tired." White yawned and Black couldn't help to chuckle at his baby brother's cuteness.
