希望の神 （きぼうのかみ）
( this story was written in the context of a japanese background like what i'd always do and because
i am just bored, i thought of a japanese name as well XD :P )
Light of Hope
Chapter 1 -
The boy pushed aside the linen curtains and edged his face towards the glass window. He stared into what looked like a blur now as the vehicle slowly picked up speed, he remained in the same position for a couple of hours, not inching even a little and as he gazed outside. Slowly he fell into a half-conscious slumber.
As the two-man vehicle approached the outskirts of the countryside, a rock deeply engraved into the dried mud road shook the car vigorously as the wheels went over it, waking our young boy from his slumber. Even so, he seemed to remain emotionless, acting shocked at first and almost wailed but with a squinted face, forced it within himself and slowly inched back to his original position.
The car soon came to a complete stop and the young boy stepped out of it, grasping what seemed an oversized brown luggage that looked almost impossible for that small and fragile body to lift even with both hands but amazingly, the boy grabbed tightly onto the handle and with all the strength he could muster, raised the luggage less than an inch in the air and slowly moved towards the oaken door that stood at the end of the pebble pathway he stood on. He seemed bleak, just like the pebbles he stood on right now, grey and mundane.
He dragged his feet against the floor, the scratching sound of his rubber soles sliding across the aged pebbles were the only sound that filled the empty air. The men who guided him seem to have some relationship with him but awkwardly enough, not a single soul ran up to the boy who looked so terribly fragile, as if he were like the crisp leaves of autumn, at the edge of being crushed apart.
This would be his new home.
Chapter 2 will be put up as soon as im done with chapter 4 XD
