16 years ago


Darkness filled the whole room--The silence of the air can almost make a person deaf inconceivable--The Putrid smell of the decaying dead animals and rotten molds surrounding the whole area--Enduring oneself to cry out loud, asking for someone's help. 


Five days have passed, yet it seems a year while still imprison like an animal in an old dirty room filled with nothing but a stagnant air and moldy dust. 


Grey stares at the gloomy shadow dancing in his eyes as he still hopes for a flashing light that will answer his prayer for freedom and safety. 


He doesn't have any idea what was going on--His foot was chained--His hands were tightly tied-- His mouth was covered with smeared fabric. 


Tears won't even come out from his eyes anymore as the thought always comes to his mind--He's a big boy--Boys don't cry. He shouldn't be scared, he's parents will come and save him after all. 


He tried to untie himself again but quickly stopped when footsteps echoed everywhere. He moved a bit and cornered himself on the wall, away from the door. 


His hands slightly trembled when the door opened, He tightly closed his eyes when the faint light instantly strikes his side 


His eyes open and saw a silhouette but when the shadow becomes clearer, he wishes for the darkness to filled instead. 


"How are you, my baby boy?" her soft voice sent shivers down his spine, it isn't the voice he was used to. His blood runs out from his body as he waits for her to do something. 


"Are you hungry? did you sleep well?" he did not answer even when she removed the fabric covering his mouth. 


He became attentive and scared when the lady in black walks towards him with a soft smile on her lips. 


He stopped himself to shout nor whine when she caresses his face up to his hair like comforting him. 


"I brought something, you seem lonely these past few days and what kind of mother would that make me If I didn't let you have friends, right son?"  


He blinked a lot of time, stopping himself from shedding a tear.
