SAME OLD WORLD
It’s gotten colder in Japan. Or that’s what I’ve been told, by the nurses and doctors at the Tokyo hospital, filled with the color white and a mixture of different browns and reds. My name is Haikyuu Matsukawa, I would like to ask you something. If you were stuck, stuck in your own mind. Still, Not moving. How would you feel?
I’m in an anchored state, my real body on a hospital bed, soft and fluffy. But still not my bed at home, As I open my eyes, I get blinded by blues and fresh air. My vision slowly gains its confidence, A park? Of course, I hate this place. Whenever I’m lonely I wake up here, like the first time I collapsed in the hallway at school, I woke up here. I’ve only been here a few times, and none of them good experiences. I get up slowly and start to walk in the park looking for my old friend like I do whenever I’m here. I do not know why I do but I have this urge to find him, look for him, but the thing is I can’t remember what he looks like, it’s all a blur, I hear my feet squishing under the wet ground due to the rain, it always rains here. My short black hair slightly in my face, the water running down my cheeks. And my light brown eyes full of dread. The breeze making a shiver go down my spine, “ h-hello,“ I whisper. Wondering why I keep showing up there;
Starting to feel less and less, my legs are getting numb, have I really walked that far? I ask myself, no. I haven’t this always happens right before ‘he’ catches me. He as in the ‘tall man’ I see him every time I get here, he always catches me and I always end up passing out. Not waking up tell the next dream, or tell I wake up in the real world which has not happened in a while, or so it feels, walking through the trees endlessly i finally see the man and make an effort to run but seemingly cannot run far, he catches me in a matter of minutes. “ Hello boy.” The man said, making my heart drop. Even though I’ve seen him here so much, he somehow still scares me when I’m here. I answer with something I have said many times so it comes naturally.
“ Hello sir, need any help,” I gulp knowing full well he is about to kidnap me.
“ Well, not at the moment, But I got something here for you, follow me.” he smiles with his blank face,
I smile back and follow, not wanting to but not having the will to run anyways.
After a while of him dragging me to the van, you would think I’m not scared, but I am I’m so scared I can’t even speak without stuttering. Then he throws me in his nasty black van, and it starts moving, far, very far.
I wake up in a vile smelling room, with black mold and dirt on the walls. “ Hello?¨ I made the same stupid mistake I had before. As he ran in the room with a grin on his face I sink into the chair I was tied to, trying to hide.
But he finds me, he looks me dead in the eyes his black and dark.
“ Listen here, you better follow my orders or else.”
“ Or else what?” I say with a smirk on my face, its a lot easier to go through tough shit like this when you trick yourself into thinking its all fine and dandy.
“ Or else you die.” the man said bluntly,
“ Than do it, I bet you won’t” i couldn't help but hold back a chuckle
“Why you little,” He uttered. “I am going to kill you and your family,” He shouted. He’s so dermatic, Lucky for me I did not have a family here, but I would not let him know that. I but what was he going to do anyway, it's not like he could kill them they don't exist.
I look him dead in the eyes. His were full of, anger? No, it was a rage. He went into the other room to get something, He came back with a class full of a purple liquid.
He squeezed my mouth open and made me swallow it, I tried to cough it up but before I could I was already asleep.
