'Why is he crying?' Thought the dark man to himself. He had been going out for a nightly walk. The rain was pouring hard, and it had been very dark. The streets were very empty at night. One of the street lights caught something, and lured his eye to it. It was a bench. It was hard to tell, but there was a young boy sitting on the bench and crying. His head was bent low and tucked between his knees. His arms wrapped securely around his knees holding them to himself.
"Why are you crying?" asked the dark man.
"I'm not crying! Mind your own fucking buisness!" yelled the younger boy. He looked up to give the older man a glare.
"Well then tell me," said the oldest, "What happened to your eye?" The younger boy quickly hid himself again. His eye had been very black, and swollen.
"Well, if you ever need someone to talk to, or just to get away from your house, come here." He tucked a card into the younger boy's jacket pocket.

"Where the hell have you been you rat!?" yelled the boy's father. He stormed up to the boy and started to relentlessly beat him.
"Dad stop! Please?! I'm sorry!" The young boy had been driven to the floor. Blood was falling out his mouth in small strips of ribbons. "Why are you always late?!"
"I'm sorry!" he screamed. He couldn't cry. Because if his dad saw him crying he would just get beat more. Late at night, while he lie in the stillness of his room crying silent tears, the memory of the older man had came to thought.
'Maybe I should...No! What am I thinking!? If he finds out he'll kill me!'
The darkness of sleep began to take toll on the boy.

"Get up and get your ugly ass to school!"
The boy started on his way to school when a sudden voice had awoken him from his daze.
"So your name is Verlahne. How beautiful."
"What the fuck? How do you know my fucking name?! Who the hell are you anyways!?"
"My name is Maxwell. You may call me Max."
"Pass! I'm going to be late for school get out of my way."
"Why do you let your father hit and rape you?"
Verlahne glared angrily at Maxwell.
"You shut your fucking mouth! You don't know anything! Put yourself in my place! I have no choice I can't fight back! If I do he'll just kill me! Ever since my mom left, no woman has ever wanted to be with him," Verlahne stared down at the floor, "And because of it he takes my anger out on me and he figures since I'm scared he can get away with it."
