AND MILO ?HE ALWAYS HAD THIS LOOK THAT SCREAMED ' I HATE THE WORLD AND EVERYTHING IN IT '
HE ISN'T A BAD PERSON, MUCH LESS A BAD BROTHER. HE KNOWS WHEN AND HOW TO BE KIND, BUT HE WAS NEVER ALOUD TO BE KIND. NONE OF US TRULY WERE.
MILO HARGREEVES. NUMBER 10.
the sandman. the runt. it's all
the same when you're trapped
in the purgatory that is the
home of reginald hargreeves.
you don't have dreams. dreams
are for you to decide, not for you
to experience. you live life through small
scapes and use your powers to torment, not
heal.
milo has never dreamed a day in his life.
dreams were for people that weren't him. decades
away from going blind, always has to watch where he
steps for the fear of falling over ... it's no big surprise that
his father always had to let him know his competitors;
the competitors he shared meals with; the competitors that
he called 'brothers' and 'sisters.'" sʜᴇ ᴡᴀɪᴛᴇᴅ. ʜᴇ sᴄʀᴇᴀᴍᴇᴅ. ᴀ ᴘᴀʀᴛ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ʜᴏᴘᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴡʜᴇʀᴇᴠᴇʀ ʜᴇ ᴡᴀs, ʜᴇ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ʜᴇᴀʀ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ʙᴇᴄᴋᴏɴɪɴɢ ʜɪᴍ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ʜᴏᴍᴇ, ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇᴍ. ᴛʜᴇ sɪsᴛᴇʀ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ sᴛᴏᴘᴘᴇᴅ ᴡᴀɪᴛɪɴɢ, ᴛʜᴇ ʙʀᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ sᴛᴏᴘᴘᴇᴅ sᴄʀᴇᴀᴍɪɴɢ. "
( THE FATHER never knew how to comfort grieving children, especially ones that would scream. he eyes THE BOY curled up on the ground with his legs huddled to his chest, crying out — no, 'wailing' in agony for his failure to find his missing brother. )
[REGINALD]: Stop that, boy! Stop that right now!
( THE BOY wails again. this time, louder. he clutches his knees tighter as his choked sobs slowly become screams. )
[REGINALD]: Number 10, this is a demand! This is a warning!
( THE BOY furrows his brows and sits up, grappling on the carpet the resembled the fur of a dead bear. he looks THE FATHER in the eyes, but instead of going silent, he screams again. THE FATHER, frustrated as ever, rises from his desk and walks towards the door, turning the knob )
[REGINALD]: Finish your temper tantrum, 10. It will not bring him back any sooner. Scream your heart out until the gods above can hear your voice, but do not approach me until you're done moping around.
( THE FATHER slams. the door, the. distant. screams of THE BOY muffled behind it. his screams carry through the bleak, narrow, halls. )
SHE HOPES I'M CURSED FOREVER TO
SLEEP ON A TWIN SIZED MATTRESS
