30 days trial

sticks and stones

Everyone fears the unknown, to scared to accept the fact that a stronger force lurks in the darkness. In this generation a lot of things have been explained through science, humans no longer have to sacrifice a virgin to appease the 'gods' behind the fuming volcano. Then what about the secret to longitivety or the secret to avoiding death. But what about magic, miracles
How come they haven't been explained yet. The force that withholds the world

Standing still at my window, gazing upon the snow that has buried the backyard, I smiled to my self. Christmas was two days away and people were getting festive. Little coloured bulbs hanged on each house,flowers and snow everywhere, all except mine. My parents weren't fans of the holiday saying its just another celebrating another false event and it wasn't scriptured that Jesus was born on the 25th, so every Christmas was just another day at my house.
       Truth be told I envied the other kids,  when I was younger I would sneak out and play in the snow alone with my best friend Alice, Alice and I have been close since birth her parents unlike mine worshiped holidays and abided to them so they didn't understand my parents perspective, coming to the conclusion that my parents were 'bad people' . They didn't fancy me either, so me and Alice didn't get to play together a lot. Whenever we got caught together,  her parents will drag her inside muttering some mean words about me, and my dad will always tell me that people are evil beings and I shouldn't associate with them.  Growing up I thought it was normal for my mum and dad to leave the house and come back months later,  leaving me alone in the house, I also taught it was normal for my parents to have tally marks all over there body. And the basement that I was banned from entering. But when I learned to not care as I grew older, or the fact that kids didn't want to associate with me,  all except Alice. It never really bothered me,  I wasn't a fan of people anyway
but it also happened on one faithful day,  when the snow was no more and my parents where yet to be back. The innocent minded 8 year old me playing wit me Jamie fox my dog and taking up milk and cookies while watching one of the many television shows. There was a knock on my door and it great louder and louder, it was the middle of the night and no one was home so I did what any 8 year old will, I opened the door
'grandma'?

I was immediately picked up and shoved into a car and the last thing I saw was my parents silhouette as the world around me became blurry and I was knocked out cold
