I have always been afraid. Anytime I walked, talked, breathed, I was always scared of the unknown. It wasn't my fault that I was that way. It was the amount of trauma I suffered as a child.
I always thought I wouldn't live till twenty. There was always an invisible darkness following me, like it wanted me to make just one wrong move and consume my soul. I guess it was the aftermath of the trauma. Everything was linked to my past.
Growing up, I always felt different from all other kids. As an only child, I thought perhaps it was because my mother pampered me. My father was among the few in Amadiran that didn't entirely hate Ztafas. It didn't make a difference as I didn't have dreadlocks while growing up at that early stage. But I was different.
I could know when someone was sick or not.
