adjective

LITERARYadjective: atrabiliousmelancholy or irritable."an atrabilious old man"

In my whole life, I was always waiting.
But for what, I never knew. Maybe for a new life? New chance? New friends?

Well, those were all second choices. What I always wanted, was a new father.

I knew I wasn't supposed to be here. Standing next to my mother who was dancing around in the dirt, mumbling out some old folksong under her breath to the rhythm.
I was sweating. Everything around me was distorted, only her. She looked just as beautiful as I remembered her to be, her long (hair color) hair swaying side to side, trying to catch up to her fast movements. But even so, she felt as if she was dead. Her presence was non-existent, and I could swear I smelled a corpse anytime she came too close to me.

'What... Am I doing here? This isn't... This isn't!-'
"Picking berries is so fun~ Wish you would help me out though, my little dawn~" Mother sang next to me, leaning down to pick those red, big berries off the bush. Only now I noticed that I was holding a basket.
Even though I didn't hold one before. When did it get into my hands?
It was true that she was talking to me, but I didn't do as she told me. I stayed in my place, unmoving and just staring ahead.

I couldn't move. My mouth was dry, my face was pale and I was sweating.

When I didn't respond, she turned to me with a pout, but upon seeing my troubled face, her face turned into a neutral one.
"So. You know this is not real right now. Props to you."
I gulped as the sweat trickled down my temple, I was not able to even move my eyes.

With a blink of an eye, she grabbed my hair and pulled it towards her, twisted my neck upwards so that I can see her face, or rather, she can see mine.

Her eyes were wide open and dull, her healthy face was now sunken, and her hair slowly fell out in patches.

"We're already dead to you, aren't we?"

in the end, i was always known for being lost in a world that doesn't exist.

this book is made from the Kimetsu no Yaiba manga. i do not own kny, nor the characters, only some of my ocs, and some of the plot.
