QUIETNESS. DARKNESS. UNSURENESS. DOUBTS. The ambience was filled with exactly nothing but only negativity. Negative thoughts, emotions and feelings were drowning out the positives.

Nothing had equaled to light.

Having to feel only negativity was as itself a heavy burden. However, going through it all alone was even heavier.

Something like that wasn't exactly new.

Nothing new to you.

Although having to face the thoughts and feelings of the dark one and only, you at least were used to that. So much that only minimal affects were your problem.

However, not too long ago, everything had changed drastically for you.

Your apartment had been changed to almost what you would call a zoo. A zoo of the underworld.

Because as you sat on your chair, working on those boring papers and documents for work you couldn't get enough of, your surroundings were nothing but screams and cries of the monsters you were seeing much more and more every passing day.

You didn't know what to do.

After all, you had always ignored your problems.

And you thought on doing it so again.

So with that, ever since you started to see the pure negativity in person, in a physical way, you tried to maintain your cool and ignored everything around you. If you wouldn't show your knowledge of those monsters being around you, they surely wouldn't know about you. Right?

However, that probably was the cause to how big your once "little" problem had now gotten.

Sleeping was unbearable. You could call it luck, if you had managed to be able to sleep in comfort.

"Come on! Let's plaaay!" A distorted voice, all cracking within its vocal cords, cried out right behind you. "Plaaay!"

"I miss heeeer! Mama!" Another one.

"Where is heeee?" Another one.

"I'm s-sorryy." And another.

Then, apart from the words and sentences that you were hearing, there also were monsters that just cried rivers and screamed without any context.

Screams filled with nothing but pure rage, anger and madness. It was not only them going crazy, but you as well.

And to anger, rage and madness, there was also crying in fear, sadness and grief.

You were able to decipher the extent of each and every scream, shout or cry of those monster's feelings. It was like a horror movie.

And nothing else came to your mind other than that you were nothing but a cursed woman.

A cursed child.

However, although you were surrounded by nothing but the negativity of those monsters and the monsters as itself as well, they had never touched or harmed you.

They surely seemed bad, so they probably would harm you in any physical way, right?

Well, they didnt.

And so, due to that, you managed to live on and go through with your life just how it had been all before those monsters appeared, in "peace".

"They h-hurt me!" You furrowed your eyebrows together upon hearing one of the monsters cry out loud from beside you. "W-Why don't you be-elive me..?"

"They are mean to me!" Another one approached you. "Why wo-ont you h-help..?"

Sure, you weren't harmed in any way, shape or form when it came to the aspect of physical harm.

But mentally, mentally you started to break.

Gripping the pen in your hand tighter than before, you forced your eyes shut and tried to silence your surroundings within your mind.

However,

"F-forgive me, G-Gen."

You couldn't.

Breaking the pen in your hand from the pressure you unknowingly had put on it, you hastily stood up, making your chair fall from the sudden impact of force.

Stepping out of the room, you picked up your phone, put on your shoes and rushed outside.

You were feeling like as if someone was taking away your breath and the oxygen around you.

It was a struggle to breathe.

"Fuck.." You sighed and mumbled under your breath as you held your head. "Fucking shit.."

Each day it had gotten worse.

With time passing, you were one hundred percent sure that you wouldn't be able to live on in that place much longer.

"I've gotta move.."

Taking a deep breath and letting it go, you began to move and wandered around on the empty streets.

You weren't able to see much outside as it was in the middle of the night. The only light source were the few streetlights shining.

Continuing your walk into the unknown, you managed to find a bench to sit on and made your way towards it.

Of course, you still were seeing a few of the monsters in the shadows and behind corners of walls, however you couldn't hear anything. That made you exhale an assured sigh.

You just wanted your quietness.

Your peace.

"Maybe I should crash at Kago—..." You stopped yourself from speaking any further. "Right, I can't." You huffed.

You weren't able to spend the night at your friend's house, due to you attracting all those monsters as you had realized the last time you were at her place.

It was a night just like this one.

Sleep was a foreign word that day, so you tried to distract yourself to think about something other than those things all around you.

However, the moment you had slept over at the black-haired woman's house and woke up the next morning, you found around three of the monsters in your room and two in the bathroom right next to you. You had attracted them.

Therefore, you had stopped opting for crashing at a place anywhere else except yours.

"Why me?" A groan escaped your lips. "Out of all the people around.. Why me?"

A cursed child. That's why it hit you. You were followed by bad luck and negativity.

But you never did anything against it. You just let it be.

Moments had passed and you finally managed to recollect yourself. You were on the verge of passing out due to you having not been able to have an ounce of proper sleep.

Standing up, you slowly made your way back to your hell hole. The place you weren't exactly able to compare to hell as there were much worse places on earth and around, but it surely felt like somewhat hellish.

A grimace started to show up on your face, seeing the front door of your apartment. But, you immediately stopped yourself from entering.

Something was wrong. You felt it.
