You could try to fight, scream for help, but yo...
As i see the woman cry
as i see the kids walk back
and they’re faces as they held on to the cops
i discover no one’s fake
Ok, how do i explain
It’s just that every human thinks the same
But sometimes we don’t know how to act
There are these things called misunderstandings
There is also something called childhood
Everyone acts so their hearts and soul feel good
There are introverts and extroverts...
I've always been fascinated by the perfect crime, the kind that leaves everyone baffled, whispering in dark corners about the one who got away. They call me the Phantom, a name I've earned for my ability to vanish into the night after executing the most elaborate heists.

That’s all I ever wanted for them. My darling girls are the best things this world has ever created. I wept with joy the ...
I look out of my window and see kids playing on playground and families all around talking. I hear the sounds of children playing games and singing. My body starts to see thing’s with anger and I feel a vain starting pop out of my forehead. I made snarling growl and quickly close the curtains of my window.
“Ugh. Those people are sooo-“
Sol pushes my room door wide open
“-so, so… HAPPY and CHEE...
I awake to the sound of silence - utter nothingness - not even the sound of myself breathing. I feel cold, which is when I realize I’m frozen, or, half frozen and slowly thawing. Panic gives way to relief when I spot a hammer on a nearby desk. Quickly, I reach for the hammer and shatter the ice, collapsing, my senses returning in a rush.
Stumbling to my feet, I notice a date on piece of paper: Se...
“You can only see the sunlight once you’ve touched the dark.” I explain, though it seems she still doesn’t get it.
“W-what do you mean?”
“You can only see you’re lucky if you know what unlucky really means. I’m not the bad guy, I just got unlucky. You’re not the good guy, you just got lucky.”
