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.
