I am holding a gun. My hands are shaking and I am crying. The gun shifted my hand. It turned to me and I wad staring down the gun pipe. Black demons ran up my arms and my throat leaving suffocating feeling lingering in my body.
At the corner of my eye I saw light. Yellow light so bright, my tears dried on my cheeks.
A pale hand reached out to the gun holding it tightly.
"Blurry is the one I'm not." The voice said and my gun was no longer there.
A figure appeared. Skinny, slightly muscular. Looks like human, but is angelic.
I couldn't see his face yet it was carved into my brain.

My eyes opened and once again I was greeted by the ceiling. Hello, good friend.
I stretched out my limbs and headed to the bathroom.
I looked in the mirror to see a face covered in fear. My eyes penetrated the glass but they are so weak. They are so tired. They have seen enough on the other side of sleep.
I washed my face and put on some clothing.
As I opened the room door I saw Ruby sitting on a couch watching sponge bob square pants. "Good morning sis." I came up behind her and kissed her temple. "Good morning Ty." She smiled and continued watching the cartoon. I entered the kitchen and poured myself some cereal and chocolate milk. I sat down at the table and listened to the silence that has been surrounding Ruby and me. Silence has raised us.

Mother and father are at work.
I looked around. All these pretty things. But no love.

When I finished eating, I put the bowl in the sink with a sigh.

The silence was driving me insane by now.

I got back to my room, closing the door behind me and rushed towards the wall colliding my knuckles to it. I punched it until my knuckles were bleeding and red was dripping over the floor.
"Ty?" I turned around to see Ruby standing in front of me with concerned eyes. "Wait." I whispered and went to the toilet to wash off the blood of my hands.

I came back and picked her up. I remember when I was 10. She is so strong. I was a mess. I had no one. I won't let that happen to her. I hugged her tightly and she wrapped her tiny arms around my neck slightly tickling my neck. "You know that I will never leave you, right?" I said into her hug. "I know Ty." She pulled away and smiled at me. She is so strong. I put her down and she took my hand and kissed my knuckles. "They will get better now." I pat her hair and she ran off to the living room.

I covered the hole with yet another poster and took my uke starting to pluck the strings with hurt fingers.

The day was empty like every other. I went to my job, dropped Ruby off to her school, survived my shift, brought Ruby home.
Every single day.
