The Small Tales

Eccedentesiast

One day, there were two siblings living alone in their house. Their parents worked abroad and only the two of them living under the roof.

The two went in the same school, Edna, is the name of the younger sister while Enzo is the name of the brother.

Edna was an easy-going, cheerful, talkative and most of all, a top student in their class. While Enzo was different, he often laughs to hide his anguish, loud, brash and often tells explicit jokes. Enzo also knows to draw and drawing was his pride.

When at home, Enzo always spoils Edna just for a small thing. Enzo will do everything just for the sake of his younger sister. However, Edna never holds back on her words when she's having a conversation with her brother. In fact, Enzo just endured the pain and kept smiling in front of her.

Ednawent through a lot of pain, as if there were hundreds of weapons planted on his back, though he kept living. Sometimes Enzo tells Edna how he feels, and Edna tried her best to cheer him up. Enzo also thought that he should take a suicide, but he couldn't because he still have to look for his sister.

Edna also looks after her brother, she complimented his works and she supports him to reach his dream. Though, Edna worries that Enzo will be out of her reach but she still supports him. The two shared their stories in school day by day, their parents also called them weekly through telephone and send them cash. Enzo taught Edna to draw and discusses Enzo's stories weekly.

One day, Edna went to the school affair with her brother, Enzo. They visited the booths and bought snacks. Edna saw her friend, Tina, then she pulled Enzo on his right wrist and ran to her. Tina also knows about Enzo and both are acquainted.

As Edna and Tina had a nice talk, Edna noticed that Enzo was silent all the time and the gloom was written on his face.

When they returned home. Edna opened up to Enzo and asked him what was wrong. Enzo don't have any clue what she was talking about so he shrugged it off by saying, "I'm fine, don't worry about me.".. However, those words is a lie.

Enzo doesn't want Edna to worry about him, he mutters to himself that he is used to this kind of pain. When Enzo had a talk with Edna, she suddenly became sarcastic to her words, thus making Enzo feel pain and dismal. It hit him like a zweihander (a two-handed long sword) thrown to his chest at the back. Enzo took Edna's words seriously.

Enzo suddenly became silent. Edna just continued to watch the TV until she saw Enzo off. Enzo, in his room thought that he should take a suicide. He couldn't take his life anymore so he grabbed out his rope and created a noose.

Edna suddenly enters his room and frightened when she was about to see her brother going to hang himself up. Edna freaked out by telling him to stop.

"Edna, Im going to escape and cheat death. So watch me, 'kay?" Enzo said.

Edna have mixed feelings... Either she could say "cool" or to stop him since that stunt was so risky.

When Enzo wore the noose on his neck, Edna remembers that Enzo is NOT an escape artist so she tried to stop him by pulling his leg.

Enzo's legs stopped moving, Edna looked up and saw his brother died with his eyes open.
