Not My Father Anymore
Louis groaned as he struggled to stand on his feet. Before he could take another step, his daughter rushed into his arms. She wrapped herself tightly around him, burying her face into his chest.“Dad,” she whispered, her voice shaking. “Mom died in my arms. She… she was calling your name right before she died.”“Wh… what…” Louis stammered. “I… I’m sorry.”Tears streamed down his daughter’s cheeks.“She was pregnant, Dad,” Nana said, sobbing. “Mom was eight months pregnant. And then… then she was killed. Your boss killed her.”“I’m so sorry. Everything that happened… It's my fault. I should’ve protected her. I should’ve kept you both safe.”Louis pleaded.Louis looked at his daughter for a moment. Her eyes were red, her face wet with tears, and her hands were trembling as she held his shirt.He gently placed his hand on her head.“I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I’m sorry I couldn’t keep the promise I made to you and your mother.”“I promised I’d protect you both. I promised nothing would
Mercy Is A Lie
You will surely regret betraying me, Louis!”.A loud voice echoed through the room.After a moment, an old man in his late fifties, stepped out from the back of the room. In front of him was a man hanging upside down. The old man stood a few feet away from him.The old man smiled, slowly.He turned his head toward a nearby wooden table where several metal tools were. He reached out and gently picked up a hammer..“I trusted you,” he said, still not looking at Louis. “I let you into my plans. I told you things I never shared with anyone else. And what did you do?”He turned to Louis, holding the hammer in both hands.“You told my enemy my plan. You told him everything.”Louis opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. His lips trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear. He shook his head weakly, trying to plead, but the old man didn’t give him the chance.“Do you have any idea what you’ve done?” the old man shouted, stepping closer, his voice full of rage.He raised the hammer
I Was Never Lucas Ross
"My parents are dead," Lucas said, lifting his right leg a little higher.” That’s what you told me, Master.”The old man, Lucas's master,stood a few feet behind him, his hands shaking.“Let me explain everything to you, Lucas,” he begged. “I know you’ve lost trust in the people.. I know everything feels hopeless right now. But please… Please don’t do this. There’s something important you need to know.”“Say it from there,” Lucas muttered, his voice barely above a whisper. “I don’t know why I’m still alive. I don’t know why people are so cruel and wicked. Why does it feel like pain is the only thing waiting for me every day? Why can’t I just end it all?”The old man took a step forward. “Don’t,” he pleaded “You deserve the truth, Lucas. About your father, your mother and everything you’ve believed. It's not the whole story.”“I’m sorry,” Lucas whispered, a tear rolled down his cheek. “I know you tried your best. You took me in when no one else did and you raised me like your own son.
A Reason To Die
"Get out of here!” the manager shouted. “You think we serve people like you here? I wouldn’t let someone like you near my house, let alone my food.”Lucas took a step back, raising his hands a little in surprise.“I have money with me,” he said. “I just want to eat something small. I’m not here to beg”“Didn’t you hear me?” the manager shot back, looking at him angrily. “Leave before I call the police! Do you think this restaurant is for lowly people like you?”“But I will surely pay for—”Before Lucas could finish his words, the manager cut him off."Shut up and get out of here! This place is only for wealthy people… not poor people who don't even have good clothes to wear. You look like garbage, and I'm telling you… I'm not hot-tempered, but you're testing my patience. Get out of this place before I get mad at you.”Lucas moved back a little as he gently put his hands into his pocket. Bringing out two dollar notes, he pointed them at the manager.“This is a hundred dollars, and I'm
Out, But Not Free
Inside the dimly lit prison cell, Lucas sat on a broken chair, barely balanced on its remaining one leg. He flipped through a stack of old newspapers, their pages yellowed and fragile with age and dampness. He wore a faded yellow shirt tucked into a pair of black trousers. Stamped boldly across the back of the shirt in block letters were the words: Lucas Ross, Number 189.The cell was silent, except for the soft rustle of paper. On the metal table in front of him lay the shattered remains of the shattered glasses of a mirror.At the corner of the room was a sink with a mirror so scratched you couldn’t see your own face.Lucas signed heavily, scratching his head with his left hand.“I….. I'm starving,” a voice said, the words echoing in the room. This distracted Lucas’s attention and he turned his head toward the bunk across from him. It was Raymond Scarlett, his cellmate. Raymond was sitting on the top bunk, his back against the wall while his legs were hanging in the air.“Won’t they
Seconds Before The Shot
Lucas moved toward Adam while Adam took some steps away from him, his phone in his hand, showing a paused video.Adam chuckled, his laughter echoing in the room."You want to see it, Lucas?" he said with a mocking grin. "Take a look at this."He tapped the screen and the video started to play.On the screen was Lucas holding a knife while Adam was on the ground, screaming, clutching his bloodied hand.“You’re going to jail for this,” Adam said, still laughing. “You went mad and injured me, Lucas.”Sophia stood beside Adam, smiling mockingly.“GET OUT!” Lucas roared. “Get out of my room!”Adam didn’t flinch.“Oh, don’t worry. We’ll leave. "No need to shout. Just relax." He paused, still smiling. "We just thought we'd keep you company a little longer. You know... before the police arrive or what do you say,my best friend?”“ You will regret…….,”.Before Lucas could finish his sentence, the door burst open with a loud bang. Three uniformed officers rushed into the room. One of them held
