ODD EYE CIRCLE : Beginning of The Tyr God's Syndrome

Orphanage of Whispers

BRUUK!

Theo’s body was kicked hard by one of the boys until his back hit a tree. Theo grimaced. His back was hot and sore at the same time. His body hit the tree trunk so hard that Theo felt that part of his back was broken. With the energy still left, Theo tried to get up while holding on to the tree trunk.

“Tie him up! Don’t let the monster loose!” said Wyatt, the boy who kicked Theo.

The other boy quickly picked up Theo’s body. One of them carried a rope used to tie Theo’s body to a tree trunk. Theo can no longer escape or avoid the ball kick that leads to him. He practically incarnated into a shooting target.

Wyatt now grabbed the football and put it with Theo’s body one way. He is alert for a while, takes a run-up so that his shot does not miss, and has excellent strength. “Hahaha! I’ll finish you, ugly monster!” Along with the shout, Wyatt put his foot on the ball instantly, making the ball bounce at high speed and hit Theo’s solar plexus.

“COUGH!”

“Yeah! Nice shot!” shouted Wyatt, praising himself.

Meanwhile, Theo could only surrender when the pain continued to run through his body. The kick left his chest tight and his heart weak. Unfortunately, God was not so kind as to take his life. I don’t know what God’s purpose was for keeping him alive, torture him, or make him stronger.

‘I don’t want to be strong.’

I don’t want to be seen as a monster by others.’

‘I just want to have a normal life.’

“You just shut up now, huh? Not strong enough?” asked Wyatt dismissively. He kicks the ball back towards Theo hard. This time, however, the shot went the other way, precisely to the barn window.

The window fragments fell scattered on the ground not far from where the boy’s group was. The loud sound certainly attracted the attention of all the boys there, and Wyatt was no exception. The curly-haired boy smiled because he had just devised a brilliant idea. Wyatt ignored the ball and grabbed a reasonably large, sharp piece of glass. He looked at it like it was the best Christmas present he had ever received.

“I’m disgusted with monsters like you,” Wyatt hissed. He walked closer and closer to Theo with a sharp expression.

“Wyatt, what are you doing?” asked one of the boys.

“We just want to annoy him, not kill him.” The other boy nodded.

“A monster like him deserves to die!” hissed Wyatt. The look in his eyes looked vicious and cruel. “It is because monsters like this make people suffer so much!”

Unexpectedly, Wyatt immediately ambushed Theo. He strangled the already battered red half-eye boy tightly. “If you die, the world will be safe. Monsters like you should never have existed. You must die, Theodore!”

Wyatt began to swipe the sharp side of the glass against the surface of Theo’s neck.

“Wyatt.. stop this-”

“Shut up!” cried Wyatt. “Don’t you agree that a monster like him should be killed? Gabe! Didn’t you say there was a strange-eyed man who killed your parents?”

“That...” the kid called Gabe can only keep his head down.

“See? Creatures like him must be exterminated before it gets stronger!”

The other boy, who was about to oppose Wyatt’s actions, could not comment on anything. Because what Wyatt said is true. The strength of a person with odd eyes like Theodore is incredible. They can be very vicious, cold-blooded killer monsters.

“So, before we are all killed, it is better for him to die first!” Wyatt pressed the broken glass harder and harder against Theo’s neck. Drops of blood flowed profusely and made Theo’s clothes red.

“Help... Please help me...” asks Theo. His breathing began to choke due to low blood pressure. The neck feels hot from the friction of Sharp Objects. Theo thought this was the end of his fantasy. He had surrendered himself to God. Before something happens, Theo’s eyes are bright as if struck by a light.

“Hahahaha! You are dead-”

Wyatt stopped slitting Theo’s throat. His eyes became blank. Then surprisingly and unexpectedly, Wyatt slits his own throat just like he did to Theo before. Wyatt fell with wide-open eyes, but everyone knew the boy was no longer breathing.

The other boys who saw it just gaped in disbelief. They think all this is not real until they realize that the person they have been running from is a monster. However, it was too late for them to flee and take cover.

“Cut your throat.” Theo’s voice sounded much lower and colder than before, as if he were someone else.

As if bewitched, the other boys took turns taking pieces of glass from Wyatt’s hand and slitting their throats in turn. One by one, the boys fell with their necks torn and blood flowing profusely. All died by their own hands.

Theo’s eyes slowly dimmed as he regained consciousness. As soon as he opened her eyes again, Theo was shocked to find that all of his friends had died in terrible conditions.

“Oh... Oh no, please don’t..” Theo raved indistinctly. “Did I kill them?”

Theo realizes that what Wyatt and his friends are saying is true. The fact that he is a monster is actual. And Theo just killed all his friends with nothing left.

“You guys try combing that area. I’ll go to this area!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Theo vaguely heard the adults who were looking for him and his friends. Their voices were getting closer to him. Fear and guilt filled his mind. After all the arbitrary actions HE received, Theo didn’t want this to get any worse.

“Sorry... I’m so sorry...”

Theo untied his body with all his might and ran straight from the scene. The gaping wound on his neck made Theo unable to move freely. His blood continues to drip, making his body slowly become limp due to lack of blood. He couldn’t run away as quickly as possible from here. Therefore, Theo hid under the bridge to avoid the pursuit of people who might have been aware of his evil deeds.

“Hikshh... I don’t want to be a monster...”

Theo covered his face. Sobbing, he realized the monster side of him that was so dangerous. After all, Theo is just a kid who wants to be expected and get a mediocre life.
