I'm a Little Tired, Brother

"They say children resemble their mothers the most.

Maybe that's why my brothers can't stand looking at me."

Ayesh Reddwell has spent seventeen years living like a ghost inside his own home. In a mansion filled with wealth, power, and five older brothers, he somehow became the only thing no one wanted.

Because the day he was born...

their mother died.

"You should've been the one in the grave instead."

At school, bruises fade.

At home, words don't.

Still, Ayesh keeps returning to the same cold house, the same dinner table, the same brothers who look at him like a living mistake. Maybe because a part of him still hopes that one day, they'll finally see him as family instead of a punishment.

But hope is dangerous.

Especially for someone already learning how tiring it is to survive.

"I'm a little tired, brother."
