Daniel welcomed his mother that morning. She was dressed in a baby blue nurse uniform, her face looking smart with the glasses she wore. She was very tired and couldn't help but collapse into the sofa."God, work was so tough those few days at the hospital," Mrs. Stark complained as she removed her shoes. "You can't believe there were so many casualties down there."Daniel who was still weighed down by the guilt of killing someone was distracted at this moment. He wasn't even listening to his mother as she narrated her tiring ordeal at workplace. He was still about so many things at this point of time and it seemed he had even fallen into a trance.What if the cops investigate everything and get clues? What if they discover corpse of that man at the woods and all clues point to me? Am I gonna be arrested and convicted for murder? Am I gonna spend my entire life in juvenile detention or jail? Am I gonna be charged to death by hanging?Daniel's mind buzzed with so many thoughts, his hea
That evening Daniel lay on his bed, his eyes wet with tears. He had been crying since afternoon, stopping for some moments before resuming again. By now his eyes were puffier and redder as if he had some eye defect. He even looked weaker than before, his spirit broken.There's no how I'm gonna get away with this grief, Daniel thought within himself as he wiped his face with the back of his palm. I'm a murderer now. How will I stand the whole world? How am I gonna face Jackson again? Now I've made him an orphan.Jackson grew up without his mother since she had died during childbirth. His father had been the only one who had been there for him. He had shown him all the love and care a responsible parent would have shown his child. And now...and now...Daniel closed his eyes, trying to shut his memory.He sat up and quickly reached out to take his smartphone. He had to sort advice from someone on this issue before he developed mental problems from this. He had to get this guilt off his ch
On Monday morning Daniel woke up early as usual. He yawned as he stretched on his bed, causing Caroline who had been sleeping on him to wake up with a startle."You shouldn't do that!" Caroline meowed. It wasn't as if Caroline was speaking but Daniel understood what she was saying.Daniel stood up to prepare for school, his entire body brimming with energy. Although he hadn't forgotten about Mr. Eden's death, he didn't feel guilty anymore. He wasn't the one who killed Mr. Eden so his conscience was clear. He only felt sympathetic towards Jackson for losing both parents at a very young age. It was very sad indeed.Daniel did his normal morning routines and in fifteen minutes time he was done. Today he wore a red shirt and a pair of red pants with red sneakers. Around his head was a red head band, making him look handsome with a touch of heroic aura. He took his backpack, hung it and made for the garage with Caroline trailing behind."Where are you up to this early?" Mrs. Stark was alre
The bell rang for break and all the students in science class immediately began screaming for joy. There was gonna be a fight between Daniel and Walter with his bully friends. They were very excited and wanted to see the outcome of the fight. They weren't afraid that Daniel would get killed in the process since they would all remain alert and someone would immediately call one of Felicia's bouncers (she had consented to this) if they felt the Principal's office was too far.Walter and his bully friends couldn't help but feel happy as they walked towards Daniel. They were going to definitely kick some ass today."I hope you're ready coz I won't be hearing excuses!" Walter bellowed as he pondered his large fists on the table.Daniel shrugged and scoffed, "Talk less and fight more."The whole class erupted into a loud 'ooh' as everyone's jaw dropped. They were very surprised about Daniel's behaviour lately.Daniel didn't say anything again as he walked out of the class, the others trail
Miss Pinmaker rapped the arms of her chair with her fingers as she stared sternly at Daniel with her blue eyes, her small mouth thinned into a fine line. She was sludged up lazily in the chair as if she was disgruntled with life. She looked at this kid who had been always weak looking (and sometimes delusional), her expression extremely serious. Although he was no longer weak looking and was now muscular like a gymnast, she couldn't bring herself to believe that he ha actually beaten Walter and his four friends.Daniel stood in front of Pinmaker, wondering what the woman was thinking. He observed the woman and muttered, "She's so skinny like a sack of bones. Just a shove of my pinkie finger and she's down.""Tell me what happened right now!" Pinmaker suddenly howled, pounding on the desk furiously.Seeing this Daniel frowned. Isn't this what Walter used to do when he's angry? Is Pinmaker related to Walter? Silly me, some peeps actually do that when they are angry. But why is she angry
Viscount Luther sat on his chair, his right hand tightly gripped around the black pen as he scribbled away something on a piece of paper on the desk. His red brows were knitted together and his lips thinned as he wrote with all manner of seriousness. After some seconds he was done writing and he dropped the pen on the desk, staring at the piece of paper. "My business empire have grown larger over the past few months and I'm compelled to leave this city," Viscount Luther said to himself. As a wealthy and successful business man he was always busy expanding his business empire. Due to his commitment to his work, his business became very successful and had more profits than losses. He was currently the wealthiest noble in Canada and among the top ten in the whole world. Well, in reality his success and wealth didn't actually stem entirely from his hard works. The Viscount Path was a very interesting Crimsone Path which gave one a variety of unique abilities. The ability which really
"I wanna know more about Werewolves," Daniel typed in the Curious Mythologists group chat. It was evening and he was in bed with Caroline who was staring at the phone's screen, clueless about what he was doing. The moon wasn't yet in the pale red sky and birds could be heard chirping about as they flew back into their nests."Why though?" Crying God was the first to quickly reply. It was as if he had been waiting for Daniel to ask this question.It seems like you're obsessed with me, Daniel couldn't help but shrug as he wanted to type, "I wasn't talking to you," but Sexy Peacock was faster."I don't think Crimson Wolf was referring to you. If he was then it mean your IQ has gone higher than a goat's.""Why do you keep mentioning goats?" Crying God asked. "What did those poor creatures do to you? Did a goat outsmart you in a puzzle game?"Daniel almost did a facepalm as he knew what was coming next. He didn't know why Crying God and Sexy Peacock always got into arguments. They were lik
The Church? Daniel raised his brown eyebrows. The name sounded cool and powerful. Was it an organization comprised of Witches and Wizards? If that was the case then Evil Buddha wasn't lying when he said that he was a Wizard. But then if this organization was called the Church, does that mean they believe in God or a god?Daniel readied himself to type but soon discovered that Sexy Peacock had beat him to it again. He couldn't help but do a facepalm in embarrassment, Caroline narrowing her eyes after seeing him doing this."It's just an expression," Daniel explained to the cat."Yeah, considering the fact that your habit of murmuring has also become an expression," Caroline shook her head sharply."..."What's this? When did Caroline become conversant with my behaviour? Daniel couldn't help but narrow his eyes. So this is how animals think. I wonder how many things humans have neglected because of lack of understanding and skill. Imagine if humans could understand animals talking, the
