The dark night loomed above, the wind was picking up now, sweeping around the leaves. Chills ran up and down my body, I hadn't worn a jacket, but I didn't turn back for one. The road nearby was close to empty, an occasional car zipped by above the speed limit. It was 2 am, why was I out here? I'm not sure, but I think I have a reason...

I don't think you understand, friend. If I told you my reason, you'd never look at me the same. So I continue walking, my fingers shake from the cold. Sometimes I think there's a fault in my code. All humans have faults, but maybe mine's worse. I'm way too young to be this hurt I suppose. Maybe I deserve it.

The wind whipped against my cheeks, telling me to turn back. But I didn't. You know, maybe in another universe I'm still 9 years old and none of it ever happened. My mother is certainly ashamed of me. Do you pity me yet?

Unwanted child is what they labeled me. I climbed over the fence and went through the forest. They fuck you up you know, your mom and your dad. I used to be happy. I think. You wont leave me will you? I'd be scared if you left.

The graveyard was just as silent as I remembered, I settled and told my story to another. I do this a lot, you know. Sometimes they come to dance with me in the dark. It's not my fault I have my mother's eyes or my father's nose. I wish I didn't though. My brain feels fuzzy and I'm cold.

"Are you hearing voices again?"

"No." I would reply to the voice. I don't like what I'm becoming. They haunt my mind with no remorse. Am I the child they wanted? I don't think so. I don't remember my name, do you remember it?

They say I'm useless.

Maybe I am.

Maybe I don't care.

Well.. it's time we part for now friend. Remember to always prepare for the worst, and never trust people.

Until next time, friend.
