Tom Riddle, an abandoned child of fate, grows up in a place of neglect and resentment. As he navigates a world that never seemed to care for him, his heart hardens, his mind sharpens, and his soul becomes consumed by anger. But beneath the cold exterior lies the question: could he ever find love? Could he let go of the bitterness that has defined his life? Or is redemption simply beyond his grasp, lost to the darkness that threatens to consume him? This is the story of a boy who never knew kindness-will he ever learn to embrace it, or is he destined to be the monster the world fears?

And the main question is...Is it even happening?....Or is it just a MISSING peice of the the world... What exactly...is MISSING?... People? OR place?... OR.... Worse.... What is real....what isn't?... "Can we be found...or....have we never existed to begin with?"... "Are We MISSING?....Or....Dead?"...
