Retired Stories

When I was three, I was framed by my twin sister for the death of my unborn sister and the near deaths of my mother and twin brother. I was sent to a 'boarding school' but it was truly an illegal human trafficking agency that sells people or trains and turns them into weapons. I was the second option. I was turned into a human weapon. My hands were covered in blood since the age of five. I was abused, tormented, and experimented on for years ever since I stepped foot into the 'boarding school'. After ten years in that place, I couldn't take it anymore and planned my escape. At fifteen, I finally left that place, but I wasn't alone when I escaped. I had a friend whom I saw as a brother. A year later, we were adopted by a retired Army Sergeant after being caught beating up some thugs who tried to rob us. Over the years, everything's been perfect, but of course, it couldn't stay that way forever. I never knew my life would be thrown into chaos yet again.
