In the 25 years that Lyden lived, he never lived peacefully, his life is riddled with thorns and boulders, every problem is worse than the other. Lyden is an orphan, he roamed around streets scavenging trash cans for leftover food, lying on the cold, hard, rough cement with only the moon and the snow to accompany him, Ahh what a lonely night it is said Lyden, he closed his eyes, succumbing to the cold and hunger. But luckily, an old lady found him in the sidewalks almost dying and was restled out of the hands of the reaper , he was 5 years old at that time. The orphanage is a good place, the old lady is kind and the children there are friendly. Although the children are malnourished because of the shortage in funds, Lyden is still happy because he finally found a place where he belongs. At a young age, Lyden finally came to understand that the only way for the poor to succeed is education and hardwork. So he worked and worked, determined to earn the keep for his tuition fees. At 10 years old, he finally entered a public school near the orphanage. With a hope burning in his light, he started his journey to education. Well, reality is often worse than our expectations. The light of hope in Lyden's heart are slowly being extinguished by the cruelties of life. He is a target of bullying because of the fact that he's an orphan and his timid nature made it worse. The teachers turned a blind eye against all this because of bribery. He suffered from 12 years of bullying and unfair treatment before emerging from the hellhole. Alas! What he thought was a hellhole was actually not that bad compared to the world of the adults. He was exposed to nepotism, corruption, dishonesty, violence, suicide, and even murder. When they said the adult's world is scary, they really aren't exaggerating.

*sigh.

After 2 years at work, he finally adjusted to all the circumstances. After improving the conditions of the orphanage that he treasured, he decided to find happiness for himself. Amanda was a nice girl, she is sweet and lovable. During the 2 years that they spent together, it was not extravagant but every second was filled with warmth and love. That is why, Lyden cannot guess why Amanda would cheat on him, it left him baffled and hurt. After 3 months of self-wallowing, he thought that love isn't for him, and thus focused his whole attention to his career, which really bore fruit. Due to his outstanding performance, he was selected to be promoted. Lyden thought that all the blood, sweat and tears finally paid off. In a festive mood, he entered the company again, expecting to see the memorandum of his promotion in the bulletin. Fate really plays dirty, instead of the expected promotion, he was demoted instead. Rumors going around says that it was because of the general manager's relative entering the company. The position that was supposed to be occupied by him, it was occupied by a newbie. After 25 years, Lyden finally touched alcohol. He drank alcohol believing that it would drown the sadness, the despair and all the negativities. On the way home, he collapsed on an alley, his eyes landed on the moon. Lyden said, "Ah, what a lonely night it is". His eyes slowly losing the color they once had, he slowly felt the life draining out of him but he let it go hoping that in the afterlife, he would finally be happy.
