Kall The Regressed

Page 7

As Kall sat there and cried he began to think that he couldn't fall any further, that for the first time in his life he had truly hit rock bottom. And as you would expect the moment those thoughts had entered his mind the universe had to prove him wrong. And to do that there came a knock from the front door. But sadly for Kall, he didn't hear it, but he on the other hand did. So she got up, leaving Kall on the floor to cry, and answered the door.

"Oh hey honey, how was school?" You could hear from a distance, it kinda gave off that echo-like sound but still had a sweetness to it.

"Oh, it was fine. How's dad?" This time the sound came from a voice that seemed much younger and higher pitched than his wife. But nowhere near as high as Kall's.

"Well, honey as you saw last night he's still stuck in his predicament. But as of the moment he's having a hard time accepting the new rules that I put in place." Kall's wife said this as if none of it was out of the ordinary. But these words made Kall come back to reality and stop crying. And that's when it hit him, his daughter had come home from school, and he had completely forgotten that he even had a daughter since this whole thing started. He wanted to stop his daughter from seeing him like this, he wanted to stop the inevitable. But just like how the wind blows and how the seasons change, so did the fact that his daughter rounded the corner from the entrance and laid eyes right on Kall.

"Oh, dad you're so cute!" She exclaimed with a high-pitched scream, and just like that, it was over. She ran over to Kall, dropping her light blue cat backpack on the couch. When she got over to Kall she scooped him into her arms. This was officially Kall's rock bottom. Nothing could be worse than his current situation.

"Hey, mom can I take Kall with me on a stroll?" She asked turning away from Kall and into Kall's wife's eyes.
