Synopsis

Chapter 0 - Benefit of the doubt

I am Mark Ashe, Im thirteen-years of age, you can describe me as the right blend of likable and hateful character, my height is below average, white-skin, dark-brown eyes, curly hair, and a good-looking person. "Probably".

If you passed me walking home from school you probably wouldn't notice me. That's because I'm just a kid like you. I go to school like you. I live simple like you. Unlike you I was bullied, unlike you I was having worst headaches day and night, and being pranked all the time so I usually spent my time doing video games or being with my friend Claire. Unlike you I am incompetent. No special thing about me, most of them call it loser.

Beside being an average loser, Im different from you in other ways. For one which I mentioned earlier, I have syndrome called Cluster headache. You probably know less about Cluster headache. It's a disorder where headache often occur and it's around the side of the eye. I can describe pain as burning, stabbing, boring or squeezing, and it ranges from 20 minutes or longer. I don't know what triggers it but most of us with Cluster headache are severe effects and may experience suicidal thoughts during an attack. Thankfully I don't do that anymore, I mostly just deal a significant pain around eye and runny nose slipping through my face then taking my medications would ease the pain.

But sometimes I have very bad cluster headache every few years and it feels like someone is burning your skin over your eye from inside and poking your upper section of the eye with a needle, this moment. No legal pain killer works for me.

Beside from having headaches, there's something else you don't know about me. It's going to be a secret; I can't tell it it anyway. A secret that turned my life upside down. That secret is the reason why I have headaches in the first place. It scares me more than you would believe. But, again, that's part of my story. So I might as well tell it to you.
