    A short story about your childhood: Part 1

    Permalink | Author: Dan Dart | Published: 2022-03-28 16:46:21 UTC | Tags: childhood story


    You wake up, and leave your comfortable, beautifully decorated house, but there’s some kind of ill feeling in the pit of your stomach.

    You begin to look around, and the instant déjà vu you experience brings tears to your eyes, which you didn’t expect.

    "I remember...", you start to think. What on Earth is so strange, yet familiar about your environment, and yet you cannot put your finger on it?

    You attempt to brush your feeling of uneasiness off, and you attempt to take a single step when-

    Suddenly, with a flash of dirty brown, it all comes flashing back. Every time you’ve done what you’ve done before, everything thereafter you were forced to do. Every time through no fault of your own you had to start your entire routine again.

    It’s him. It’s that horrid "groundhog", the one you were always forced to come face to sweating, hairy face with, and he wants the same thing he always wants, whenever you do this to yourself.

    Dark, sombre tones play from nowhere and everywhere, and your memories replay a thousand times over.

    "No, I don’t want to do this ever again!", you internally scream.

    "This putrid charade, this utter malfeasance, this evil, evil guardian..."

    You have already started to bow fearfully in order to grovel, beg and plead, just to get on with your day, as his upper half finishes rising, and shaking his sharp implement, his low, croaky voice angrily stutters:

    "You again!"
