+intro+

born during the coldest days of winter he was all alone crying for love when there was nothing but the evil blood of what was once called that mere infants mother on his crystal skin

his small hands were searching for the warm embrace of a parent but there was no one to return the weak gesture

when his trust in the world weakened, when he stopped reaching out and instead cried in despair
someone finally caught a glimpse of his tiny figure laying there defenselessly on the floor

worried about the young woman living in the rather old and shabby cabin a neighbor had decided to look after her

she had barely entered the small and nearly empty room but had stopped immidiately

warm blood had flooded the whole room and seeped trough the old neighbours straw shoes

light brown eyes stared at the lady without a single emotion in them

no familiarity was left in those empty orbs that were once eager to tell all her hidden truths

inbetween a chunk of flesh that didn't belong outside of her body was the child

the umbilical cord connected him to the huge pile of organs that was no longer inside the young womans body

it was an aweful sight making the old neighbours stomach turn

she felt like throwing up

a nasty smell was penetrating her nose

she was about to leave but the soft whimpers of the baby made her heart ache

it might have been in the distant past but once she had given birth to a little boy as well

however poverty was even worse back in the days so she was bound to watch her beloved child starve to death as he was too weak to endure such merciless conditions

the sight of that unfortunate infant brought back the pain of the past

leaving him all alone was no longer an option

biting back the nausea she ignored the smacking sound every step of hers made and carefully took the newborn baby into her arms

the white blouse she was wearing was now blood strained but that didn't matter

she grabbed the umbilical cord and teared it off

even though the little boy didn't cry nor flinch a bit blood streamed out and made her gag slightly

before she finally left the reeking cabin she wrapped him up in her warm scarf to protect him at least a little bit from the cold

without looking back at her neighbour she hugged the child tightly and left her behind lying next to her innards and bathing in her own blood

outside the cabin white snowflakes were dancing around similar to the flower petals in spring

the wind directed them like a conducter playing his favourite piece

infinite white made the slums look strangely innocent and pure

well the infinite white was quite deceptive as it hurried to burry the red footprints the old woman left when she ran home with the orphan child close to her chest

a quick glance was enough to put a content smile on the elders face

while he was sleeping like an angel his tiny body heaved up and down with each deep breath he took

the way his hands were grabbing her blouse asking her to stay with him made her heart melt completely

now it was decided

from now on he would be her son no matter the blood relation
