Dear Diary 

My "parents" aren't home now. I think they started their new job. I mean "job". I know that the money they'll win won't do anything good. They are addicted to alchool and drugs so i know what they will do. I didn't move too much from my room lately cause they always lock me inside when they go. 

I really miss going to school. At least there i can do more interesting things than here... I hate staying home and talking to the walls. All i do is walk around talking to nobody but the walls and the air around me and maybe the only ones that listen to me are the ghosts and some spirit that accidentally were stuck in my room ( if they exist ). But i know that after some minutes of listening to me, they go away, like everyone else does. Why? Because i am a boring person. Even spirits don't want to stay around me... Sometimes i feel like i am drowning... gasping for air... because the air is going away from me too. The walls are the only one that stay in the same place... They are the only one who mock me, and pass everything i say around the room until all i can hear is a pale voice that looks alot like mine when i haven't been talking for weeks.

There are some little kids coming near and i can hear them. I am sure that they aren't in my head, i can tell the difference... Oh yes! Today is the Halloween. They are gonna knock at the door and scream "TRICK OR TREAT". Nobody will answer in here for sure. They probably don't even know this neighbourhood. They are so happy. Innocent souls. They don't even know the real world down there... in here... Where everybody beats you and eats your flash... When you're still half alive...

Why am I not like them? Why was i so unfortunate? Why did i learn how the real world was when i was still young? So many questions and no answers... That's okay,  i am used to this. But there are still some questions... The most important... Why?
