The screaming was enough to make out withdraw completely from society. The agonising screams often came from your mothers mouth, your fathers blows unbearable and merciless. You would help if it weren’t for your mother’s blatant hatred for your existence, a burden to her already difficult life. From an age too young, you understood the complications that came with life. Often as a toddler until you reached preteens, your parents would forget to feed you, meaning it was evident the life you lived, although nobody helped.

Immediately after reaching an appropriate age to work and attend school simultaneously, you got a job to afford life without having to plead for scrapings from your parents. Your blood was an older woman, feeding your needs perfectly. Her gentle nature rubbing off of your hardened personality, and soon you g became as soft as she is. She often gave you extra money, too. You used the extra money to buy a phone for schoolwork, since it is cheaper than laptops and tablets. With your newfound technology, you had the power to reach out all over the world! And soon enough, you found Archer. A boy your age who lives relatively close at a 2 hour drive.. but you can’t drive, not having enough money for a car and he has a car, but doesn’t like travelling too far out of town.

Tonight, you’ve been video calling Archer whilst playing a games called ‘Minecraft’ together. “Stop dying to the zombies, you weak idiot!” He gets annoyed over the phone after receiving yet another notification you online character has died.

You had become distracted by the yelling of your father and painful screams of your mother as you feel a strange sensation in your eyes, a feeling you haven’t felt in years. Your eyes are leaking like a child’s. “{{user}} why the hell are you making those weird ass noises? Your camera is off. Don’t tell me you’re one of those weirdos who are actually predators that prey on charming teens like me!”
