Theo’s body was kicked hard by one of the boys until his back hit a tree. Theo grimaced. His back was hot and sore at the same time. His body hit the tree trunk so hard that Theo felt that part of his back was broken. With the energy still left, Theo tried to get up while holding on to the tree trunk.
“Tie him up! Don’t let the monster loose!” said Wyatt, the boy who kicked Theo.
The other boy quickly picked up Theo’s body. One of them carried a rope used to tie Theo’s body to a tree trunk. Theo can no longer escape or avoid the ball kick that leads to him. He practically incarnated into a shooting target.
Wyatt now grabbed the football and put it with Theo’s body one way. He is alert for a while, takes a run-up so that his shot does not miss, and has excellent strength. “Hahaha! I’ll finish you, ugly monster!” Along with the shout, Wyatt put his foot on the ball instantly, making the ball bounce at high speed and hit Theo’s solar plexus.
“COUGH!”
“Yeah! Nice shot!” shouted Wyatt, praising himself.
Meanwhile, Theo could only surrender when the pain continued to run through his body. The kick left his chest tight and his heart weak. Unfortunately, God was not so kind as to take his life. I don’t know what God’s purpose was for keeping him alive, torture him, or make him stronger.
‘I don’t want to be strong.’
I don’t want to be seen as a monster by others.’
‘I just want to have a normal life.’
“You just shut up now, huh? Not strong enough?” asked Wyatt dismissively. He kicks the ball back towards Theo hard. This time, however, the shot went the other way, precisely to the barn window.
The window fragments fell scattered on the ground not far from where the boy’s group was. The loud sound certainly attracted the attention of all the boys there, and Wyatt was no exception. The curly-haired boy smiled because he had just devised a brilliant idea. Wyatt ignored the ball and grabbed a reasonably large, sharp piece of glass. He looked at it like it was the best Christmas present he had ever received.
“I’m disgusted with monsters like you,” Wyatt hissed. He walked closer and closer to Theo with a sharp expression.
“Wyatt, what are you doing?” asked one of the boys.
“We just want to annoy him, not kill him.” The other boy nodded.
“A monster like him deserves to die!” hissed Wyatt. The look in his eyes looked vicious and cruel. “It is because monsters like this make people suffer so much!”
Unexpectedly, Wyatt immediately ambushed Theo. He strangled the already battered red half-eye boy tightly. “If you die, the world will be safe. Monsters like you should never have existed. You must die, Theodore!”
Wyatt began to swipe the sharp side of the glass against the surface of Theo’s neck.
“Wyatt.. stop this-”
“Shut up!” cried Wyatt. “Don’t you agree that a monster like him should be killed? Gabe! Didn’t you say there was a strange-eyed man who killed your parents?”
“That...” the kid called Gabe can only keep his head down.
“See? Creatures like him must be exterminated before it gets stronger!”
The other boy, who was about to oppose Wyatt’s actions, could not comment on anything. Because what Wyatt said is true. The strength of a person with odd eyes like Theodore is incredible. They can be very vicious, cold-blooded killer monsters.
“So, before we are all killed, it is better for him to die first!” Wyatt pressed the broken glass harder and harder against Theo’s neck. Drops of blood flowed profusely and made Theo’s clothes red.
“Help... Please help me...” asks Theo. His breathing began to choke due to low blood pressure. The neck feels hot from the friction of Sharp Objects. Theo thought this was the end of his fantasy. He had surrendered himself to God. Before something happens, Theo’s eyes are bright as if struck by a light.
“Hahahaha! You are dead-”
Wyatt stopped slitting Theo’s throat. His eyes became blank. Then surprisingly and unexpectedly, Wyatt slits his own throat just like he did to Theo before. Wyatt fell with wide-open eyes, but everyone knew the boy was no longer breathing.
The other boys who saw it just gaped in disbelief. They think all this is not real until they realize that the person they have been running from is a monster. However, it was too late for them to flee and take cover.
“Cut your throat.” Theo’s voice sounded much lower and colder than before, as if he were someone else.
As if bewitched, the other boys took turns taking pieces of glass from Wyatt’s hand and slitting their throats in turn. One by one, the boys fell with their necks torn and blood flowing profusely. All died by their own hands.
Theo’s eyes slowly dimmed as he regained consciousness. As soon as he opened her eyes again, Theo was shocked to find that all of his friends had died in terrible conditions.
“Oh... Oh no, please don’t..” Theo raved indistinctly. “Did I kill them?”
Theo realizes that what Wyatt and his friends are saying is true. The fact that he is a monster is actual. And Theo just killed all his friends with nothing left.
“You guys try combing that area. I’ll go to this area!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Theo vaguely heard the adults who were looking for him and his friends. Their voices were getting closer to him. Fear and guilt filled his mind. After all the arbitrary actions HE received, Theo didn’t want this to get any worse.
“Sorry... I’m so sorry...”
Theo untied his body with all his might and ran straight from the scene. The gaping wound on his neck made Theo unable to move freely. His blood continues to drip, making his body slowly become limp due to lack of blood. He couldn’t run away as quickly as possible from here. Therefore, Theo hid under the bridge to avoid the pursuit of people who might have been aware of his evil deeds.
“Hikshh... I don’t want to be a monster...”
Theo covered his face. Sobbing, he realized the monster side of him that was so dangerous. After all, Theo is just a kid who wants to be expected and get a mediocre life.

One year laterThe night is not the end of the day. Quite the opposite. The setting sun is a sign that another new life is about to begin. Life isn’t warmer during the day.

Fight him!”“Kill that red half-eye!”“No, surely the one who wins is the odd eye!”“I bet fifty bucks if the Reds win.”“I bet you one hundred bucks if that red-eye dies!”The crowd’s cheers at that time were increasingly thundering around the arena with two figures in the middle. One was a red half-eye boy whose face was already too battered. His shoulders went up and down due to irregular breathing. The boy was none other than Theodore.

As if they were very far from the cruelty of the world. As if the color of their eyes was not a sign of danger at all.Theo watched silently behind the window of his room.

The statement from Jared received ridicule from the boys in the middle of the field. It practically provokes Jared’s emotions and eventually makes him chase one by one of his friends.Theo watched from the side-lines. Although it seemed to make fun of them, but he felt that the boys had no evil intentions at all. They're just really playing with each other. And, it was a rare sight Theo had ever seen in his entire life.“Excuse me...”One word from Theo instantly got the attention of the rest of the boys there. They simultaneously turned to Theo without daring to interrupt until Theo continued his speech.Theo stared at one by one of them and gulped his saliva roughly. “Can I play with you guys?”Quiet for a moment. Theo was worried. Then another surprise attacked him.“Oh my gosh... You don't have to ask permission to play with us!” One of the boys grabbed Theo’s shoulder tightly and was followed by the others.“That's right! Play with us!”Theo felt incredible happiness for the firs

The first class hour is underway. Before that, Theo Awards an affectionate punch to Jared for deceiving him that they were late when they weren't. Jared just laughed afterward.There were fifteen students in the class including Theo and Jared. They sat individually and since Theodore was a new student, he was placed in the last seat. Coincidentally in front of him was Jared's seat. Theo could take revenge if he wanted to but he enjoyed today's lesson so much. Today's class is about how to control the power of thought."Know that the human mind is very complex,” says the teacher – Prof. Abraham. He was an African–American man with half-bald hair and all of his hair almost gray. He was wise enough to teach. “The human brain is composed of many nerves with diverse patterns. Like a giant, scaled-down maze. To enter the human mind is to enter the labyrinth. Even the owner of the body is often lost in their minds. And how can we control someone's mind if we find it so difficult to understan

Jared goes into Theo's room after knocking him first. Jared no longer wears a uniform but a black long-sleeved T-shirt with a number 07 on his back. He held a thick book in his hand.“Why haven't you changed your clothes?" Jared asked seeing Theo still in uniform this morning. “Change into the clothes in that closet.”Somewhat dazed, Theo opens the closet and finds some new clothes hanging there. His face glowed cheerfully. Then he chooses an outfit that catches his eye. A jacket with the image of an owl."Well, now we will talk about the rules in this school as well as in this dormitory.”There are many written rules, and Jared explains them carefully.06.0 – 07.30 Wake up and run the field for over an hour.07.45-08.30 bath and breakfast.08.45: following the lesson.12.00: lunch.12.30: following the second lesson.17.00: finish the lesson and students are free to do personal activities.19.00: dinner.21.00: bedtime.- All students are required to follow the stated schedule.

"As a child, I accidentally fell and scratched the fence,” Theo replied, touching the wound on his neck.Jared grimaced. “That must so hurt.”“I don't remember because I fainted immediately.”“You're tough boys! You must be the Chosen One!”"Stop calling me the Chosen One.”They spent dinner chatting occasionally. Theo remembers that they should not bring this food into the room, so he increases the portion of food and finishes it quickly before dinner time runs out.When he arrived at the room, Theo was very bored because he was not sleepy yet, and he was not allowed to meet anyone. A dormitory supervisor was walking down the Hall, checking on anyone who dared to go out at the Forbidden time. Theo didn't want to get punished when he was very new here. And he still didn't have a book to read while he waited for sleepiness to come. Theo opened the bedroom window. The permanent windows that cannot be opened do not even have a balcony. But it was enough for him to see the scenery outside

After the end of classes, Theodore again secretly brought a book about dreams. He went into the bathroom so that no one else could see him. Even Theo didn’t tell Jared this. He opened the first sheet.When the universe was first created, they were nothing but formed from tiny particles called atoms. The particles are so small that the ordinary eye cannot see them. But they are there. Those little things will never die from the beginning of created life until the apocalypse. It also affects humans. Atomic particles form man from the outer shell to the innermost nuclei of the brain. Each atom has a solid attachment to each other. The atoms in the innermost core of the head often help humans solve problems. Something called Instinct. The atoms that live in our heads are amplified by the energy emanating from meteors that fell thousands of years ago. Atoms often try to help us solve problems that we are unaware of. It can be through a dream or an event called Deja Vu.“Does this make sens

“Hey, it’s okay..” Unsuur berusaha menenangkan pembangun. Sekalipun perasaan getir menggaung dalam hatinya. Respon pembangun menjelaskan bahwa dia telah melupakan segala hal yang terjadi semalam setelah muntah. Begitu juga dengan ciuman singkat mereka.‘Memang apa yang aku harapkan? Dia hanya mabuk bukannya menanggapi dengan serius.’“Unsuur.”“Yeah...”Pembangun menunduk. Meski begitu, Unsuur dapat menemukan semburat rona yang menjalar dari wajah hingga telinga pembangun. Dia tengah bersemu. Tetapi keheningan ini membuat Unsuur merasa gelisah. Kalau-kalau pembangun malah mengingat hal yang tak mengenakan. Seperti...“Semalam, entah kenapa aku merasakan sesuatu yang lembut menempel di bibirku.”BADUM!“Kau yakin?”Pembangun mengedikkan bahu. “Entahlah... tak begitu yakin.”“Jika merasa tak enak, lebih baik lupakan saja.”“Tapi –”“Makanlah bubur itu, setelah itu akan ku antar kau pulang.”Dan Unsuur keluar dari kamar, meninggalkan pembangun di dalam kamarnya.‘Semestaku terhisap luban
