It was the usual drill of going to school to listen to the teacher drone on and on. My name is Alex Parry. And I hate my life. And today was the worst day of all.
It was the day my mum just died and she asked me to do something ridiculous.
"Alex...cough...before I die...cough...please look for your father and tell him you're his son."
There was a look of absolute desperation on her face. It was sickening to look at it. I was such a coward.
"Sure I will don't worry Mom," I said while using a fake smile.
"Thank you Alex." She says while breathing heavily. We both knew that this was her last day on Earth. That was possibly the only reason why I agreed in the first place. Even though I never want to meet that bastard, she calls my father.
Like how can she still love a guy who left her with nothing while she was pregnant? For 16 years she has held on to the fact that he said he needed to get some money first then he would come back. Seriously, how dumb can she be?
It doesn't matter anyway, I'll just look for him then see what he has been up to then I'll make my decision afterward.
"Mum, don't worry I'll find him and we will become a family again." I smiled at her again with a fake smile. The look she gave me showed that she knew that I was lying but due to her character she just chose to ignore it.
"Don't worry about it honey." She said while she placed her hand on my mine in an affectionate way.
The instant she did that I wanted to remove her hand right any. I chose not to because I knew she was going to die.
"Alex honey you need to go home it's late." She said while looking outside through the window next to her bed.
"It appears so mother, goodbye then." As I was getting up, she decided to say something I never heard her say to me without people being around.
"Alex, I love you."
"Love you too, mum."
I got up and while I was walking out the door I decided to look back on a whim, I saw her looking out her window with a grim expression.
Out of nowhere I was hit with emotions I never felt before. I didn't like it.
I didn't live far from the hospital, so I got home in less than 20 minutes. So I decided to cook some dinner then I would go to bed.
While I was brushing my teeth before bed, my phone started ringing. I spat out the toothpaste then answered the phone.
"Good evening sir, is this a Mr. Parry I am speaking to?" A feminine voice asked.
"Yes it is why?"
"Sir, I regret to inform you that your mother has died."
"Oh, okay." She finally passed away, huh. Why do I feel so empty inside? "Sir are you still there?" I hadn't noticed that I forgot to hang up, so I just hung up the phone without answering the feminine voice. Guess it's time I started looking for that bastard. How troublesome. I'll start looking in the morning since I don't necessarily need to go to school anymore.
*************************************************
After many months of searching, I finally found out where he lived, and he had started a new family. Even though I knew he had a family, I still felt the need to go and see him. So I started following them around. Every time I saw them together all happy. It just pissed me off.
While I have been living with a mentally fucked up mother here he is totally happy. I had once seen her on one of her episodes. It was truly a pitiful sight to behold.
On a mere whim, I decided to walk up to them with my knife in my pocket, pulled my hood over my face.
"Princess what do you want daddy to buy you?" He said to his daughter, fuelling my rage.
"Hey," I shouted to him, he didn't listen to me, so I shouted again this time in a hostile voice making sure he could hear me. He turned around.
"Look, buddy, I don't know what you want, but please go away, I'm trying to show my daughter a good time here, so piss off will you." I replied," I don't give a shit, look at me and tell me you don't know me," he walked towards me and got up all in my face and said," Look here, I don't know you and I seriously don't give a shit who you are." I replied in an even more hostile tone.
"Do you remember 17 years again when you meet a certain woman, played with her heart then tossed her aside as if she was nothing but a toy who you got bored of playing with," he looked at me with a face that still showed signs of not remembering.
"Look I don't know what you want but piss off and I don't remember such a thing happening," I looked him all over then I realized he didn't which pissed me off even more.
"So you seriously didn't know that you had a 16-year-old son, who's mother just died and that piece of a shit mother never stopped loving you and only looked after him just for your sake, thinking that man would actually come back," he sighed and said to his wife," Honey, please take Lily away from here I think this guy is crazy."
"You think I'm crazy huh," I fumbled in my pockets and took out the knife and pointed it at him.
"I'll show you how crazy I am," I ran at him and stabbed him multiple times in the stomach and started laughing. Is this truly what I have become?
Well if it is, I like it. I looked at his wife and saw utter terror in her eyes then she screamed. While his daughter just stared at me with no sign of emotions in her eyes. This unsettled me. I walked up to her.
"How are you not afraid of me kid," she replied," Why would I be afraid, daddy said that when a person puts a knife in you, yummy stuff comes out and the person is okay afterward," I looked at her and saw that she actually believed such crap, like come on.
"HAHAHA, you're a weird kid you know that," I looked at his wife and said," Piss off you walking cunt." She looked at me as if I was joking, so I sighed at walked up to her.
"Look her sweet tits, I said piss off and leave the kid," she said to me in a voice that sounded like she was about to shit herself," No..oo," I got closer to her and put the knife near her throat and told her.
"I don't give a shit if you want to or not, leave the kid," she once again said no. As I was about to stab her too, the old man got up on his knees and said, "You… better leave my family…ugh ...alone…you bastard."
I was honestly surprised he was still alive. I thought no matter I'll just stab him again until he's dead for sure this time. So, I walked up to him and went down on one knee and looked him straight in the eyes and said," Make me," and started laughing in his face. While I wasn't looking his wife had started walking towards me with pepper spray in her hands from her purse and tapped me on the shoulder.
"Huh, what you want?" I still hadn't noticed the pepper spray until she put it in my face and sprayed me full on in the eyes. I screamed and dropped the knife.
"That hurt you bitch, when I can see again I am going to fucken kill you," while I was rolling on the ground trying to get it out of my eyes, the old man got up with the help from the walking the cunt. They walked towards me and picked up my knife and the walking cunt had the balls to kick me.
"You bastard, how could you be such a monster," I tried looking at her and smiled at her.
"Lick my fucking nutsack, you whore."
The old man said," Don't you ever speak to my wife like that you bastard," me thinking that he didn't have the balls to stab me.
"I wonder how your daughter's sweet cunt tastes like." He got majorly pissed. Next thing I know.
I woke up in a white room sitting on a couch with an old man sitting next to me in a toga.
"Young man, do you realize what you have done," he said. Who does this geezer think he is acting all high and mighty? The geezer chuckled.
"Boy, I am a being you cannot even comprehend even if you lived a thousand years." A being I cannot comprehend even in a thousand years. Don't make me laugh.
"Old man, I don't know who you are but stop with the jokes and tell me where I am?" The old man sighed and looked at me with a sad expression in his eyes.
"My boy you are dead, and you are in a place humans would probably describe as limbo." Limbo doesn't that mean the realm that exists that is filled with nothingness. As if he could hear my thoughts he answered.
"Yes, my boy exactly, but it is different because this is a small space, I created so I could talk to you," puzzled I asked him.
"Why would you want to speak to me?" he answered," Well it seems one of my children had fuelled you with miasma."
"I don't know what that it is."
"Miasma is something that demons flourish in and brings about chaos."
"So basically your kid did something to me causing me to go berserk as I did back there," he answered," Precisely and as a means to apologize for my son's misbehavior, I will grant you 3 wishes but the drawback is that you can't go back to your old world since you have been removed from the reincarnation cycle."
"So, anything I please?"
"Anything you want."
If I can wish for whatever I want that means I don't have to go through a miserable life again.
"Geezer here are my three wishes, I wish to reborn into a wealthy family, keep my memories from my past life and the ability to control time.
"I can grant all of those wishes, please wait a moment while a find a suitable place for you. Found it please wait a moment before I transfer you."
Suddenly a white light enveloped me. This is it I am finely going to be able to live a happy life.
