"Father, father please forgive me," I said to my Father as he continues hitting me in different parts of my body. I don't know why he is always like that to me. He is drunk every night while crying. I could tell that my father is hurting inside. He is sobbing and catches his breathe while crying. That's why I approached him and said.

"Are you alright, Father?"

After what I said he hits me and said.

"This is your fault, if not because of you maybe Nora will still alive with me."

I don't understand him but as a child, I want a fatherly love. How many times he hits me that bruised is all over my body. I still love him and I wanted to be with him. Although I am jealous of those children I'm seeing outside. They're so happy together with their parents and they can play their friends. From what I remember, I haven't tried going outside. Father won't allow me and just imprisoned me in my room.

While Father is away I take a peek outside from the window. The brightness of the sun blinded my eyes because I was in my room for long. Father just feeds me like an animal in the cage. I'm so happy that at last for a long time I can taste the fresh air outside. I'm smiling while watching the other kids playing not far from our house.

I wave at them when they look at me in the window. I smile at them but they never smile at me. I just understand them because I'm not their friends. As they're walking away I notice that it's getting dark. I'm looking for my father because usually, he goes home at this time. I keep on walking inside the house while waiting for my father.

I startled when some of my neighbour's break-in into our house. They kicked our door with the people with guns together with them. I'm hiding because I'm afraid since Father is not here yet. I continue on hiding but when I saw them getting inside of my father's room. I show up because I saw my father sitting in his bed. Father is not moving at all no matter how these people pulled him.

"What happened to my father?" I said to our neighbours but they just ignored me. They're now heading to my room but I persistently asked him about my father. I even pulled the hand one of our neighbours.

"Hey, what happened to my father."

I don't understand but they keep on ignoring me like I don't exist. I follow them while saying.

"There's no one there because I am here."

They are still ignoring but when they opened my room. I'm wondering why am I there lying? I don't know what's happening. How come there is another me when I don't have a twin. As a child, I have no idea what's happening.

"Sir, this kid is dead already." Our neighbours said to those big guys with guns.

I still don't understand why they said I'm dead when I'm here in front of them. I just follow them because they took my father with them.

@mrnightmare89, Innocent Souls always faces Evil Experiences in this Evil World. Stay blessed.

yeah, thanks and you too.

Welcome and thank you.

A human's nature, always finding a reason and a person to blame with all the horrible and bad things that happen in their lives. Sad but that really is true 😔

Yeah because when they will going they choose. They will sacrifice others just to make sure they'll save their love ones. We are human after all so have that kind of attitude.

Yeah, we really do sacrifice a lot without knowing how will it affect those who were being sacrificed.
