I've always seen my life, in red. Deep, dark, crimson red. No I don't have anything wrong with my eyes. I see color just fine. But every event in my life looks as if a dark red filter consumes it, with only few things standing out, in neon.
I know it sounds strange. But it's how I see things. Perhaps it's because my parents are dead. Maybe it's because my brother blames and hurts me, for it on a daily basis. Or it could be, that everyone picks on me at school, just for fun, at school, constantly.
All I know, is objects are the only neon things in my life. But now, there's a PERSON in neon. My brother, Jericho's best friend. Conrad. But why? Why him? What's wrong with me?
