Chapter 1: Sylus
The sounds of cars speeding on the street. The sounds of people yelling. And the sound of a crash. Who would have thought that an ordinary day would turn out to be the end the of my life.
I lay in the backseat of the broken car, my eyes barely open at the sight of my mother gasping for oxygen.
"Mum…"
I whisper breathlessly as my eyes shut and blood drains from my arms to the floor.
Why is no one helping…?
Why are they just standing there?!
The windows are all shattered and all I can hear is the noise of an ambulance, heavy rain… and the crowded road, filled with blood and drained emotions. The wind beating against the dark scenery, the street lights flashing, creating some light in this cold night, and the people taking videos. Is this what they find so satisfying?
I let out a shaky chuckle as tears stream my face, noticing the hopeless expression on my face in the cracked mirror.
I grab the hand of the only person I had left in my toxic family.
Your all alone...
No, I'm not.
Yes. you are.
My father is - was, a gambler and died from his obsession with alcohol. My sister hung herself in the living room with the message, 'I can't take this anymore'.
What a fucked up life.
Is this howmy life is fated to turn out? I'm so useless. And with that I lose the grip of my mothers hand.
Am I hallucinating?
The tall figure standing outside of the shattered car window suddenly holds me close.
"Who are you…?"
I let out a slow whisper.
"This is not the end for you my love.." The tall man reassures me.
And with those words the figure suddenly disappears and I can breathe again..
