Born into Darkness
This is the story of how I went from being weak, over-sensitive, and troublesome to a strong, caring, and independent adult. I've been told that I had to share this story with others that might be having some difficulty in their lives because it shows that when you are a good person and help others instead of yourself, life will reward you.
Chapter 1:
I was born in May of 1996, a fat but healthy baby boy. That's a happy start right? Well everything changed when my mom divorced my dad when I was three.. My dad, a wealthy and abusive man, won custody of my brother and I. We didn't know what was about to change.. From the moment we turned five we were working, and I don't mean chores. We worked on constructions sites with our father and his men. We helped carry equipment, level gravel, smooth concrete, and clean up after the men. Myfather came up with a rule after I had gotten sick for a week when I was six."You don't work, you don't eat," he said after that. So, whenever school came around and we had, by law, to go back to school for a certain amount of days per year, we didn't eat anything but the sandwich from the cafeteria everyday. At the end of second grade my father said, "I don't know why you have to go to school anyways, you are both brainless idiots." That sentenceright there killed me on the inside, but my brother looked at me and said "He's wrong. You are smarter than me and I'm stronger than you so if you promise to go to school then I will do work for both of us and I will sneak food into our room for you to eat." I agreed happily. This was the first time that I remember my brother helping me and it definitely wouldn't be the last. As I reached for the stars in school, he had my back by feeding me, protecting me, and even taking punishments for me.
I will add more later..
