Take Me Away

For Ambi

I see red. The house door opens and I see red. I'm not able to form coherent thoughts, I'm not thinking rationally. I know I'm not completely sane right now because in this moment I'm watching my self through another set of eyes.

I hear the door open.

I rush downstairs hopping over the railing, landing right in front of him as he closes the screen door.

I'm a bystander. I don't think I just act and then suddenly I'm grabbing Ambi's dad and I'm rearranging his face with my fist. I watch myself grab him, throw him into the screen door and continuously bash his face in.

His face is starting to become bruised and bloody.

I think he's screaming.

The next thing I know I'm watching myself be thrown into the living room table, glass shattering beneath me as I fall onto the floor.

I get up, grabbing a piece of the broken glass, I jump over the table frame and run over to stab the glass shard into him only for him to smack it out of my hand. I attempt to land a hit on his face but he blocks it grabbing my arm, flipping me over. I end up on the floor once again laid on my back, bound.

"What the hell are you doing son!"

What am I doing? What have YOU been doing to MY Ambi for the past NINE fucking years!?

I try to escape his grasp but he's restricting my movements and once again I see red.

And Ambi's dad is outside falling down the porch steps.

I look outside and realise I'm out there as well.

Kicking him and stomping his face in.

He grabbed my legs and now I was on the ground beside him, before he decided to get up and throw me in the street.

In front of a moving vehicle.

A MOVING Vehicle.

I stood watching in third person as my life flashed before my eyes.

"Get the fuck out of the way!" I scream at myself.

And I swear I saw myself look over at me. At first in surprise and then a look of confusion.

What the hell? I'm confused too.

This all happened in a matter of seconds.

Forgetting about my whole out-of-body experience, I struggle to get up and run to the side-walk.

Before I could make it there Ambi's dad runs to me and pulls me out of the way.

He pulled me out of the way.

He pulled me out of the way of the car.

But not before the car could swerve and crash into another parked car.

I did hope whoever was in it was okay.

But I was confused. Why would he help me?

I didn't get long to ponder on it because he had me pinned up to a car yelling at me.

"What the hell has gotten into you son!?"

I didn't have to answer to him. He knows what the fuck is going on.

I knee him in the gut causing him to let go, allowing me to reverse the position.

Then I felt a hand grabbing me from behind and I heard my dad's voice.

I never got a chance to process what he said. I only saw the shotgun in his hands. And I wanted to fucking kill this man.

I was going to fucking kill this man.

"Dad give me the gun," I ordered.

"What's going on Daiki!?" He then positioned the gun so that it was no longer pointed at Ambi's dad.

This is taking too fucking long.

I was left hovering above myself as I snatched the gun away from my dad, clicked it back and aimed it at Ambi's dad.

Aimed it at his head.

"For Ambi," I simply whispered.

And then fired.
