Whispers of a Broken Child
Liam is a quiet, timid ten-year-old who has learned to survive in silence. Every night, he flinches at the sound of his father's footsteps, dreading the storm of anger that follows. His mother offers no comfort-only cold indifference. And in the mornings, when he wakes up to a soaked bed, he knows it'll only make things worse.
At school, Liam does his best to stay invisible, but his teacher, Mrs. Reyes, begins to notice the fear in his eyes, the exhaustion in his small frame, and the way he flinches at even the gentlest touch. One question from her changes everything.
"Liam... are you okay?"
A single moment of vulnerability, a quiet confession, and suddenly, Liam finds himself in a new world-one where kindness exists, where safety isn't just a dream. But even in Mrs. Reyes' care, he struggles with the weight of his past. His fears don't disappear overnight. The shame of his accidents lingers. And through it all, he wonders... does he really deserve this new life?
A story of pain, healing, and the quiet hope of finally being loved.
