The Raven of Death

Home

"Where are you?!"

I was screaming at the walls of my room. He hadn't come. It was past one, but he hadn't arrived. f**k, f**k.

"If you are angry at me for what I couldn't do to Kevin like you did, then I don't know what to say! He is my friend.. that is why I managed to explain to him but he didn't. Obviously"

"Look...you can't abandon me...not like this. You come for three days, then you should be here for the fourth"

No voices. No sounds. No sudden appearances. No walking from the window. No blanket scares.

I remained silent inside my room, hoping some voice would crawl up to me.

But nothing came.

I stood rooted to the ground, confused and tired.

"Loser"

"You're a f*****g loser!"

I kept screaming and screaming that, and played large retro music in my radio.

"You saved me like some superhero in a cloak and then left me to rot"

Just then my door opened in a bang.

"What the heck is going on?!"

I gasped and saw my mother awake, with eyes half open and her messy hair.

"Mom...I'm so sorry"

I ran to the radio and closed it, and slipped to her side on the door,

"Did I wake you?"

She looked at me with a half eye and shook her head,

"Absolutely not."

"Mom?"

"WHAT?"

"Can I sleep with you today?"

She got her senses then for sure, because I never asked her that.

"Yeah yeah...what happened?"

"Just...."

She waited.

"Missing dad"

She went from "Oh!" to "Aww".

I ran to her with open arms and had one of my best sleep in a while.
