Introduction: Zhuang
It's lonely in the forest. You have full control over every one in a universe far from this one. This isn't completely about you though, this is about a family, a family you grew away from to create a new one. Do you have a sibling?
Who refuses to go by a gender?
Have you lost your parents?
Are you a mass murderer?
Your siblings name is Zhuang, meaning strong and powerful. They live up to their name, and you can usually control all of them, but their hand. Zhuang names their hand Geomi, after your dead older brother.
The unique thing about Zhuang is that it is not just their hand that you can't control it is their whole body, other peoples body parts are completely controlled by you until you neglect them and they turn to stone.
Have you ever lost control of anyone?
It could be your self?
Zhuang has what the doctors once called dissociative identity dissorder, they now call it francesca. Francesca is most common when angry, shocked, or scared, and when extremely happy. The person who is feeling these emotions will feel no change at all physically, but mentally it's as though there's a force trying to take your control over that body from you. The person who is being controlled by you can have Francesca at any time, and Francesca will do anything, and everything to try to make it stay for as long as possible. This often leads to twitching.
Like any other day, you watch your sibling walk to the house you once shared and called home. It's dark, smelly and, never tidy but it was yours. Your room was always smaller than Geomi's, and Zhuang's room, which they shared.
Would you mind this if you knew you wouldn't live there for long?
You all fought over it, day after day, though Zhuang was only three at the time.
The memory burns your throat, but you turn it to ash trying to extinguish the pain. Pain, that has kept you awake since you left your home.
Think of your mother, is she nice?...
Your mother arrives home half an hour after Zhuang, who you made do fifteen minutes of studying. You had just allowed him to watch the television.
What does your mother do for a living?
Your mother now works in a cafe down the street, she doesn't like her job as a waitress, and would complain to you; mentally. Without consciously being able to do anything to change it, she gets angry. Your mother walks in on Zhuang watching the glitching television.
What would your mother do in this situation?
