4//Prayers

Only when a shrill yell shredded through the air, the voices became silent and everything retuned to it normal state.

"Yongbok!" He heard his real name being called. He decided to wash his face to relieve some of its puffiness, before he went to his mother. "I sent you a code for something I purchased. Get it for me at the nearest meter, 'kay?" There were special meters that would scan orders and spit out what you bought, depending on its size. Felix nodded, grabbed his phone and sneakers, racing out towards the elevator. No matter how many times he told his parents how he hated the name, they never stopped.

His mom yelled after him, yet again, to cover his eye. His right eye seems like an almost unnatural blue, so there were no whispers that followed him. Felix's mom didn't want to be seen with a demon child if she ever decided to go produce shopping. He pressed the button of the first floor, waiting patiently as it moved down.

Without having much sense of direction, he found the nearest meter after roughly twenty minutes. He scanned the code on his phone and a small, brown cardboard box fell out from a large metal pipe. He inspected it closely, wondering what its contents were. Felix curiously rattled it a few times, trying to guess. He felt someone's eyes on him. He turned around and was met with a small family. The woman, whom he presumed was the mother, covered the eyes of her children with her hands, quietly muttering prayers.
