Chapter 4 - Old Memories

After eating dinner, John laid on his bed thinking and recalling all the precious memories he had with his parents.

"I must not forget a detail, even a single detail", he said as he clenched his head tightly with his hands.

''Stop it John! just stop it. What do you think your mom and dad will say about you trying to remember them every night, its not worth it!", sobbed grandma in a furious and sobbing tone as if she was about to cry.

"I get it i'm fucked (sob, sob) no matter how hard i try they always remain fresh in my mind".

Grandma patted John on his back . "Don't worry John, you will be ok as long as you have me and your grandpa"

" But i don't know how grandma..."

"why don't you just tell me about all the memories you can remember, maybe you will feel better", grandma comforted John, as she wiped her tears and sat down in anticipation, preparing for him to talk.

"uhm (wheeze, wheeze) here it goes",

I can still still remember when mom took me to the park...

"John John where are you?", said a middle aged woman as she pretended not to know where the young John was.

"i'm over here mom mom!, mom!", he yelled out before shedding tears . "Why can't you see me mom. I am over here", he added as he began sniffing and crying more profoundly .

"Why would I not see you dumb*ss its not like you can disappear or something".

[ps: thought John how to swear]

"stop that honey! You don't want our young John to to be a cuss goddess like you, do you?!", said a middle aged man who appeared to be in his twenty's .

" whatever honey. I just get carried away all the time cause i'm always fun to be with", she replied before flaunting her hair to show her beauty.

"a em (clears throat). you know that trick wont work on me anymore "

"awwn stop that honey you are making me emotional. Anyways why don't you take care of john for a while , I have a little business to..."

"wow mom and dad are awesome and mom is bad*ss", John thought

[ps: that's how John swearing started]

"ok honey but don't take too long alright?!", said John's dad as he patted ways with his wife.

"dad why are you looking at me like that!", muttered John with a terrified look on his face because his dad smirked profoundly.

"why don't we have a little father -son trip shall we"

"ahh!"

"ahh"

yelled young John in a very high tone as the roller coaster went down the slope with incredible speed

"wooooo, woooooo awesome", John's Dad expressed in excitement as the roller coster went down. "don't worry son, you will soon get used to it ", John's dad said as he raised his hands in excitement.

"uhm, dad i love this speed yey" said John as he had pretended to enjoy the whole ride.

"Mr Johnson we will have to stop this ride now cos it may cause trauma to your young son", said the park attendant.

"screech!"

went the cart as it slowly came to a stop but John's mind was no close to stopping the thought of riding in a roller coaster.

"Then shall we go for a walk then son", mr Johnson said but John was still in the cart trying to remember where he came from and all that.

John and his Dad went for a little walk in an alleyway street.

"Why do those people wear dirty clothes daddy. Why don't they wash there clothes and buy new ones?"

"Never look down on them you know honey. Some of them are not here because they wanted to, but because of life had a different turn for them .Except for that one filming Yutube over there with rag clothes"

pfft, pfft

chuckled John but he decided to hold his laughter

" were you one of them before dad?" asked John.

"No"

"hahha ha ha!", went the both of them as they laughed at Mr Johnson's joke.

"its just normal home training my boy. shall we go back home then, before your mom kills us ..."

"ok dad".

John and his dad went back home that day with great joy only to be welcomed back with bad news,

"bad news strike peaceland as the leader, of the league of villains suddenly went on a killing spree destroying houses, building and many lives as well. The organization of heroes had dispatched a set of supernaturals but word has not been heard of them since two hours ago..." said the voice of the reporter from the radio in the car.

"since two hours ago! since two hours ago?!", Mr Johnson said in a furious and weary tone.

"take John to swell town now!", Mr Johnson said to his driver before dashing out of the vehicle.

"Dad, Dad!", chanted John as he could see his father running closer towards where the gauging smoke was concentrated in the city.

"screech", vroooom!

"Dad! Dad! Dad!"

*back to present day John

John squeezed himself uptight crying profusely.

"its okay John you have said enough", grandma said before patting him in the back.

"We received information from surveillance camera and nearby residents. I think we may know where they are now sir. our search crew are on there way as we speak"

"gather the black hog squad now, i feel we will be needing them. Kevin is not just a common opponent".

"sir, Adam is now able to speak!"

"oh really?! schedule an appointment with him then. Things are getting interesting now don't they?"

"yes sir"
