Author's note: The WHOLE story is written in first person

I opened my eyes and saw the light for the first time. There was someone in the same room as me. It was the doctor who was taking care of me. I looked around and saw my hands. They were TINY. Everyone else seemed HUGE. Then, I saw my mother, Sarah. Little did I know that I was born into a struggling family or that I would receive a virus.

Then, I was cradled by my mother. It felt... Comforting to me. Then, someone- my father - was looking at me. "What should we name him, Sarah?" he asked. "Damien," Sarah responded. She was quite tired after the labor process. At that moment, the doctor approached me with a needle and syringe. "It's Ok, Damien." Mom said. But that didn't help the stinging pain I felt as the needle was injected into me.

A little while later, at night, I was being put in my crib. "Good night, Damien." my mother said as she kissed me on the head. She walked out and shut the door. We lived in the Stacks: trailers stacked in towers like Jenga, with scaffolding in between them. Then, at that moment, I felt something on the inside. Something... Dark. It formed a blackish purple patch around the point where the needle was injected. I cried because it hurt. A little while later, Mom came in. Her reaction was nothing short of horror. She didn't know what it was. She was panicking. To this day, I still remember it.

Then, I heard a voice in my head. It was low pitched and a bit raspy. "Heya, kid," it said. "Hello?" Damien thought
