Dan

Lifeless.

Numb to the world.

Laying face down on the bed was a boy, trying to forget. Trying to forget the pain he had gone through, the pain he is going through, and the pain he is sure he will go through.

Grey clouds swirled around his head travelling nowhere, while the golden sun faded gradually away, leaving nothing but darkness and dread for the night to come.

Dan laid on his monotone bed thinking monotone thoughts. Nothing happened to make Dan feel this way, this is just how he was. He had no friends and his parents didn't care for or about him in any way whatsoever. Dan had a crap life. That's the way it was and the way it always will be for him.

The boy's room was cramped and dreary. The walls absorb all happiness which enters and replaces it with long lasting sadness. Dan didn't own much stuff because he didn't have much of a personality just a mind filled with despair and his room represented this feeling inside of him: bleak.

The room even smelled of hopelessness and nothingness which just reiterated the fact that Dan had nothing to live for. Nothing at all.

From downstairs he could hear his parents start relentlessly shouting at each other about some unimportant matter most likely, so Dan decided to get out of this run down house and take a walk to get his mind off of everything. He stood up, peeling his body off the protective bed, and quietly made his way down the stairs and out the door while hiding from his parents and hiding from involvement in their aggressive argument as they bickered back and forth. He snook past them with ease and aimlessly began to walk no where in particular.

Dan trudged along an unknown path with slow feet dragging behind him and he walked melancholily with his head hung with gloom, feeling sorrowful.

While walking past a small, isolated park he noticed a boy out of the corner of his eyes on a disregarded, unused swing set. Barely moving on the rusty swing, it still managed to let out a groan of agony, creaking with old age. However this boy didn't seem to care.

He was just as emotionless as Dan.
