BRIGHT BLUE LIGHT shining through windows of a house

Moments before, screaming, crying, and laughter along with the sound of a fist smashing into flesh could all be heard from a small, beat up and dirty house.

A big fat man, around age 50, reeking of alcohol and weed, wearing an undershirt and underwear a few sizes too small, standing over a 10 year old boy wearing nothing but boxers.

The man raining down fists straight into the boy's face laughing as if it was all a game. A skinny woman, age 25, screaming as loud as she could trying to stop the man from beating the boy. The boy was crying as a large fist smashed into his face.

Time slowed and the boy thought for a moment (why is dad always beating all the time? Why is mom only nice to me? What did i do wrong?) [nothing] said an unknown voice, (really? Then why does he do this?) [he does it because the only way he can cope with his own wretched life is by making yours worse] (i don't want to be hurt anymore!) cried the boy [then don't, let go of everything and scream] said the voice, and so the boy did exactly as the voice said.

That's when a blue light appeared and changed EVERYTHING.
