parent's mouths made me freeze on the spot, my blood filled with lead making it impossible to move. My heart dropped, my breathing deepened, and all hope seemed lost. This was all too similar to that day, the day where everything in my life turned into a silhouette; dark and lifeless. My fingers wouldn’t wrap around my paintbrush in its normal way, constantly shaking. I couldn’t work knowing that my mum and dad were at the hospital getting tests done. They wouldn’t tell me why or what it was…

that she had a banquet and she stole a whole bunch of money. It was a rough time for me because I realized everything that came out of her mouth was a lie. Not only did she lie to me, she lied to my whole family. The lie that hurt me the most was when she told me that she was dying. This means that to make it seem like she actually had cancer and was going to die, she was going to commit suicide. Deep down inside me, I didn't feel bad for her. It was time for her to get her punishment. Today,…

I nod my head an his grip on me loosens, I finally can stand on my own. I inspect the man, he was wearing a black suit and looked very professional. “Tell me about them,” He says while his hand move from my should to my hands. I look at him once more and I remember what I said, I’m not going to be…
