Hello, my name is Amelia I'm 23 years old and I live with my mum and dad. They are super strict with me, as I'm not exactly allowed out of the house why? Well I have a gift and a curse and thats my power of invisibility. Yeah I know you don't believe me, but when I was born my mum was put in a mental rehab centre for pseudo-pregnancy.
All because the doctors, midwives and nurses couldn't see me but luckily my dad could see me. So he rescued me as I was nearly dropped on the head by my mother. That was 23 years ago though, now I've spooked a lot of people over the years.
Yup family outings were fun as I scared every family in sight, although there is a downside; yes I'm invisible but people can still hear me when I move and talk. One thing I used to do when I was 16 was hop over school fences and beat up any bullies for picking on the less fortunate ones.
Unfortunately every school where I intervened scared the crap out of everyone, I heard that one student that I beat up actually hung himself! Do I feel bad for his blood on my hands? Yes and no in laments terms, I can never be caught for anything, my life is like the Wild West. I'm essentially a ghost, I can if I was crazy enough go on a rampage.
Naturally my parents were mad, I hate being invisible yes it has its quirks but the ugly side dominates the good side.
I'm forbidden to even visit my grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles and worst of all people my age.
Every Christmas its the same, two celebrations for my parents. Gift opening on Christmas Eve with a large Christmas and a big sleep the next day with a lot of chloroform and sleeping pills.
Mainly to not spook anyone downstairs, but this is my life.
I'm only allowed to communicate on my phone, but have to pretend I'm an elusive young adult to my distant family. They ask 'where am I?' To which I reply 'I'm out with my "friends".
This is getting out of hand, I cannot stand being alone. I have done self harm to make myself visible but even my blood is invisible to the ordinary folk.
I just want to go out, see people and they actually see me instead of cat fishing people online. That is what I will do and people will see me. Luckily they won't freak at a hovering backpack; as anything I touch becomes invisible.
Its time for this elusive, hidden and powerful woman to venture out, ONCE AND FOR ALL!
