My aunt left the hut and never returned. As I tried running towards her, the door slams at my face with her curses, "You stay there, you brat!" The river in my eyes began to flow out as I was left alone for many hours without water or food. In the corner, I sat hugging my knees in eternal darkness, the only light that shined faintly was the miniature fractured window with no purpose of showing warmth.
ARRR! My paunch grumbled; there was nothing in this shelter, not even freshwater. I cannot reopen the door to leave at all; it was shut how she left it for me to stay here forever, maybe to deteriorate. I guess it was my mistake; I was born only to make her endure with me." You should have died instead!" Pieces of glass fell in front of me, and onto my bare skin, the vision almost felt like she was here shouting. Though she resented me so much, I admired her for taking me in and comforting me even now when she eventually left me. The tree branch patted the pane, as mother nature began to weep, I felt cold, so I closed my eyes. Maybe in my own dreams, I will be warm again...

The floor was fluctuating; perhaps she came back for me. I reopened my eyes as I observed something with no eyes. It was gazing into my soul while grinning. I recognized by the dark expression what it was and why it was here... I tittered, "I'm starving too! But you can eat me so I won't feel famished anymore, ok?" The demon started gleaming vibrantly and getting closer to me. I beamed gently, even though I knew this shouldn't be the end in my heart, but it was. The demon raised his hand, and I locked my eyes. "Huh?" Was I dead? I didn't suffer anything. I unlocked my eyes and saw the demon again. It was holding a complex light in its hand; this was the first time I have noticed anything that illuminated as an angel's welcome into heaven. It laid it into my hand as I glanced up, it pointed. "You want me to consume this?" The demon agreed as I look at the glowing light in my hands. If I was going to die now, let it be a gleaming warm meal...
