The boy nobody loved - Chapter 2

Then came life 



He begun spending more and more time in this new place.  He still liked to travel amongst the stars.  He would go there whenever he could.  But as he was becoming more and more human, this became more difficult.

As he was getting used to this new way of life, he started feeling things around him.  He had parts he could move.  He wasn’t sure how he could, or what they looked like.  He couldn’t see them.  But he felt them.

In the same way he could feel blood coursing through his body.  He didn’t know what it was.  He felt something running through him.  This could taste differently at different times.  Weird!

Also, he could feel something thumping inside of him.  His heart beating.  He didn’t know it was his heart, but he soon learnt that it worked in many different strange ways.

Eventually, he could hear things too.  Muffled sounds.  He didn’t know what they were.

This was the beginning of a new awakening.  Stepping from a dream into a nightmare he started becoming aware of what was happening around him.

First, he started feeling being bumped.  Pressure on different parts of his body.  Sometimes it was very uncomfortable.  Painful even.  That was his first memorable experience.  Pain.

This was usually accompanied by loud noises.  As he later learnt, these noises were bangs, and people screaming.  Four different voices.  He didn’t know that at the time.  All he could hear were sounds.  Unpleasant.  Some screeching.  It was painful to the ears as well as emotionally very charged.

The stuff speeding through the little tubes in his body, his blood, also was bitter and sour.  He didn’t know that.  It just felt wrong.

When all of this was happening, he noticed that the thumping of his heart was so fast that it felt like it was going to jump out of him.  And loud.  Deafening.

And this is how he experienced his first feeling.  Fear.  A feeling that he would become accustomed to over the next few years. 

Fortunately, he was still able to float in space when these things were not happening.  And that gave him comfort.
