"Nothing is forever. Everything goes to 0 eventually." Naval Ravikant

The boy couldn't take it anymore. That voice, those whispers... they never stoped. And the eleven year old wanted them gone. No matter what it takes.

"Please, make it stop! I can't listen anymore! He whispers... t-terrible things. When is this going to end?" The boy cried out.

"I won't leave you alone. You belong to me. Come out to play with me, Jihoonie. My last friend isn't here anymore. Do you know why? Because I cut his throat..."

The voice scared the boy. His family didn't know what to to. Little Jihoon was terrified and it seemed that this nightmare will never end.

But one day the voice stopped. The day, when the boy jumped.

Standing on the edge of the roof Jihoon felt totally calm. He knew that his suffering will be gone soon. Feeling the easy breeze of the wind, the boy looked down. And there he was. The owner of the voice. Just standing there, watching the boy. That clown... he was following every move the boy made, looking like he's about to get what he wanted from the very beginning.

And then the boy heard it again. "Jihoonie, come play with me." That whisper. His last whisper.

The little boy was going to give him what he wanted. He closed his eyes... And took the small step forward. All he could feel was the wind around him. He felt weightless, he felt free. The boy never felt this good.

And then he hit the ground.

Jimin never run that fast in his life. Towards the body laying on the ground. His little brother... the most important person in his life was dying and he couldn't do anything.

"Jihoonie!" Jimin was sobbing. "Don't leave me, please!"

Even though the younger boy was barely conscious, he spoke up. "I'm finally free. The voice is gone." The smile never left the young boy's face. Even when his last breath faded into the cold air.

Jimin needed to get help. His eyes started looking around trying to find someone. And they found someone... or something. The clown just standing by the park and looking at him. The clown lifted his pointer finger to his mouth showing to stay quiet.

And then Jimin heard the whisper in his head.

"You are mine now."
