Land of the Tormented

Life

When i was a boy, i was normal. I had a happy, suitable life. But that all changed when i turned thirteen, thats the day they came.

"Mom!!!" A young children screamed out, the mother rushed to the sound of her child and found him in the bathroom covered in blood and crying. "What happened?" She managed to say before slowly walking to her son. "They hurt mom, please help me." He whimpered out as he then turned so that she could see his back.

His shoulder blades had formed outward and were shining like metal, upon further examination it looked like small metal feathers. She gasped at the sight. "Hold on stay still, lets wash the blood off of you." She said before turning on the tubs faucet. She grabbed a clean rag and wetted it, she sat him down on the rim of the tub and began to wipe the blood away.

When she was done cleaning she had patched the opened spots of his back and looked at him. "Why are they there?" He asked still shedding painful tears. "I dont know Tyler, I dont know." She said before gently rubbing his face.

The same night his father had returned home to find his wife and son on the couch, waiting for him. "Hey, everything ok? You both never had stayed this quiet before." He said taking off his coat and placing it onto the coat hooks. "Yeah, but earlier today something happened with Tyler." His wife said before Tyler looked at his dad.

"What happened? Those kids picking on you again?" His father asked with slight aggression, but not towards him. Tyler shook his head. "No, its about his back. Something is wrong with his back." She said standing up, Tyler did too. He turned around and pulled up the back of his shirt and showed his father. Johns eyes widened, seeing what was going on. The shoulderblades had stuck out more and showed small metal like wings.

"What the-?" John exclaimed before looking at them closer. "Are those..... wings?" He managed to say, still being shocked at the sight. "They are growing, and we dont know what to do. They had started growing hours ago." She said looking at them. "I can feel them dad, mom touched it earlier and i could fell her touching them, that means that they have nerves." Tyler said as he lowered his shirt.

John didnt know what to say, he had never seen anything like it.
