Death Lurks In The Shadows

chapter 13 - insomnia

As astral ventured his way to the Base of Glitch he realises that his body is fading. He is flashing on and off like a broken TV screen. He was loosing his life essence. At that point he was faced with the truth.
                         Yuma woke up from his nightmare.
"What? Where am I? Where is death?" Yuma asked himself
He realised that it was all a bad dream. But was still suspicious that that dream meant more. He woke up and realised that he was 4 hours late for school and it was an assessment day. He stung to life and kissed his mother good bye. Yuma's father died in a fire as he was chained and shacked to a wall. The room his father was held captive in was incinerated. Except his body and shackled chains.
                              This was done when yuma was 4 yeas if age and scared him for life. He never really met his father but his mother was there to look after him and give yuma the love and attention he needed. No human alive knew why he was there, who was there, if it was him that caused the fire, etc etc?
After the assessment and Yuma's detention, he jogged down to the house. Well, at least what was left of it. In the house he noticed there was another body that was holding a match. The evidence pointed to that being the killer. Was he alone? Yuma looked around the house and noticed the shackled body of his father. The body was covered in chlorine ploroxide (the gasoline after it burns). He was incinerated. As there was no more people in the area, the male corpse was the body. He left it for today and ran home.
