A Puppet Rise For System Boss Allen

5

Allen walked down the street, walking far from the hospital. He had lost everything. His mother, his sister, his job, his life.

Infact, nothing was meaningful to him anymore. His only hope was gone. Why should he live anyway? What and who should he live for?

Why does everyone else have good lives but not him? His life was terrible and filled with despair. Probably, he was cursed from birth.

He laughed out at the thought of it and he was gradually losing his mind.

He continued laughing out, not minding the staring eyes on the street. He lost his mother anyway. The reason why he got some loan from the loan sharks who would be coming for him the next day and who held his sister captive.

He had no destination or anywhere in mind, but he continued walking bare footed to anytime his body gives up.

"What are you thinking about young man?" He turned to where the voice came from.

An old woman, dressed in shabby clothes asked, walking beside him. Allen's mind was too occupied that he never got moved by the woman's sudden presence.

She added, "If the world ends today, then all the fun would be over."

He laughed again, "Fun? The world is useless. It is a terrible place to stay at. I wish I could burn it up and let it end. Everyone should just die instead."

"Becareful what you wish for honey. It could led to the unknown."

He said nothing and kept moving with the woman beside him.

"So where are you heading to?"

"Nowhere. Probably to my death."

"You seem so lost. You have lost alot and you just want to die right? Nothing in this world seems good to you. I understand your pain and sorrow."

Allen suddenly stopped and faced her. "Understand my pain?" He smirked and spat almost immediately, "No one understands what I am going through except me. I did everything! I tried my best! But....." He bit his lower lips as tears flow down his eyes.

"Why didn't she consider that and waited? Why didn't she think about the pain her death would put her children through?" he cried, finally letting his pain out. "I asked for help but they threw me out. They didn't have any pity and allowed her die," he yelled and grabbed his hair, breathing heavily. "I hate them! I hate them all! They should all pay for this!"

The older woman rolled her eyes and stretched her hand towards him with a sunglass, "I don't have time to listen to your family issues right now. Give me some money and I will give this to you."

It was as if the earth was shut down for him as all he felt was pain and all he could hear was what the doctor said. "I am sorry, she didn't make it."

Seeing he wasn't listening to her, she made him face her with a frown on her face. "Don't be stupid my boy. You've got your sister to rescue right? Are you going to allow her be sold? How would her life be then? If you are feeling this way with everything going on around you, I promise you, she would feel way worst. She is still young," she half yelled at him.

Even though she was a stranger, she knew about his sister adoption? He stared at her, speechless.

"You shouldn't be angry at your mother. She only did what is best cause she loves you. You have suffered ever since you were nine cause she keeps getting sick. You poor thing never received love and know how fun this life is cause you have been too busy taking care of your family from that young age. She wanted to set you free." Her voice was calm as she spoke to him this time.

She was right about him having to take up the responsibility of his family right from his young age.

She brought forth the sunglass again, "You should take this. I feel pity for you so I will sell this to you at any amount you have. I am generous so take this before the offer passes you by," she urged.

He took his gaze to the sunglass and back to her, still not saying anything to her.

"You should mourn your mother later. Right now, you better go save the only family you've got left or you might be alive and regret it for the rest of your life."

She was right. He needed to save his sister and keep his pain aside. She was the only one he's got. But then.....

"What does this scrappy sunglass got to do with me saving my sister?

She looked at the sunglass and back at him, "Do you decide if something is good or bad just by looking at it? What happened to do not judge a book by it cover? It has more potential than you think."

"I don't need the sunglass." He rejected it but that got her pissed.

"You should listen to what I say. You don't know what you are about to own. Don't throw away this opportunity." she persisted.

The woman wouldn't leave if he doesn't collect it and he needed time to think for himself. He grudgingly collected it but she still stretched her other hand.

"The money for it."

Was she that heartless to see he wasn't in the mood for anything? He just lost his mother and she wouldn't stop bothering him.

Dipping his hand into his pocket, he brought out the last coin he had left and dropped it on her stretched palm.

Still, she wasn't leaving.

"What do you want?" He questioned.

"Wear it," she answered pointing at the sunglass.

He had planned on throwing it away cause it might cause some infection to his eyes but the woman doesn't seem like one who would let him go.

"Would you go if I wear it?"

She nodded.

He sighed and wiped off the dirt before he wore it. Immediately he did, the sunglass was activated showing his image and everything about him.
