Pages Of A Twisted Love

Page 10 - Devastation

Damian was all too accustomed to pain. The disappointment he succumbed to touched on his own personal shame.

Before Logan was even a part of the
picture, from a malicious heartbreak
he had came with a sense that he has learnt a valuable lesson but so wrong
he was proven again that it disgusted himself leading to tears falling down like rain.

This by far was a drop in hurts
ocean compared to the devastation
endured in his twenty five years of
living ruin stamped with a terrible stain.

When he was in the third grade he
took a walk after school ended to a
veld nearby out of curiosity. An
adventure similar to the cartoons
he watched crawled over his brain.
Innocence broke on that exact day
as he searched for something crazy
a motionless body hang on a tree.
A man tied by towing rope surged
into his gaze frighteningly. Damian
ran for dear life after realizing that pale scarecrow like man isn't a dream.

When Damian was in the seventh grade he visited his aunt, it was the second big incident about to leave
him unscathed. He and a few of his little cousins went to a shopping market to buy some treats, on their
way back a man greeted them ever
so crudely.

They didn't notice that he blended in to announce his greed. He started off a mild conversation about soccer than moved on to where they lived. When he heard, "we're not from around here" he pulled out a cold piece of steal.

Damian gleamed thinking what an amazing pellet gun he has instead of that weapon could leave us for dead. The man bridged the gun and gave
Damian the mag, he proceeded to
point it at the youngest one's head.
He exclaimed give me all you have
or else I'm taking your cousin off
the map. They were terrified, quite  trembled as they obeyed what he said.

The third occasion Damian's life
flashed before his eyes, four men
robbed him once again as another
strangled and forced closed what breathe he had. In the middle of town people watched him call for help as
he scrambled for air on the ground.

The fourth time really caught him
by surprise, who would of thought
he'd be lurked into a open veld by
some of his very own soccer guys.
When he reached where they said
a group of man stood circling him
as an ambush was well prepared.
Two guns came out and a knife in
one hand appeared to steal what he had. A mistake of recognizing a voice
put his life all the more in danger at
a shady place. They decided that digging a grave next to where they
told him to lay is best to resolve this
case.

While the others took off with his
belongings, a man trusted to kill Damian was left. A triggered was pulled but luckily the gun jammed.
A few attempts had changed thee
designated killer's mind than he said run for your life because if the guy with the knife comes you're really dead. In his boxers Damian sprinted not looking back.
