I was restless, it was a stormy night and i couldn't get myself to fall asleep. I had an examination the next morning, i just wish i don't wake up. I couldn't stand another day watching my mother slowly lose her mind while my dad drinks himself silly. I didn't mind before but then my little brother started acting wierd. He would let his mates come over to our house and whenever i'm alone one of them would touch me or talk to me in a sickening way. Sometime he would catch his mates with me but instead of helping me he just looks at his feet. I dont think they're really his friends. I couldn't remember the last time we had a real family talk, we all live our lives to ourselves, its like each one is busy with their own self destructing life. The rain was pounding heavily against the worn out roofing of our house, i could feel the cold creep onto me from my feet upwards. I always forget to ask mama if she can buy me some new wooly socks so my feet keeps warm at night...as if that'll ever happen. Any income in our household belongs to daddy and we all know where they end up to, downstairs with some mates, beers and gambling. I hated my family and I sometimes fantasized about killing myself bringing them along with me. No one deserves to have theses people around them especially me. I wonder if mama feels the same way. One could only wonder since mama don't talk no more. The only words she can mutter out are usually strange and peculiar sometime bordering on pure insanity. I could feel someone looking at me but couldn't really figure it out because it was a dark and gloomy night. I could feel the presence of someone there with me, I'm shivering with both the cold and fear. The lightning flashes and there I see her. "Mama? What's wrong mama?" "It's time to go now sweetheart, the good lord is calling thy name". I was scared, mama has been acting really eerie lately. She keeps reminding me that judgement day was coming and the lord will not have mercy on me unless I repent. Maybe she finally lost it tonight, standing on the foot of my bed. I could only see her silhoutte everytime the lightning flashes, I could only make a blurry vision of her. All of a sudden the room was alight, my eyes were burning. I couldn't adjust my vision to the suddenly brilliant light. Then I smelt it, gasoline. "Fire!" I half screamed and choked out. "Help! Daddy, mama FIRE!" I screamed as the huge inferno engulfs me, I was burning I finally realized. How did I catch fire? Everything was a spinning out of control, I didn't understand how or what was happening. I heard mama screaming repent repeatedly. The pain was unbearable, the flames kept eating away at my flesh and then everything was blank. The End.
