"Tired… if tired was engraved on every blade of grass in the forests… or on every leaf, on the trees on of the amazons… it still wouldn't comeClose to how tired… and drained I truly am…
But… I can't break down… No… not yet, no matter how much pain, no matter the suffering… the abuse, the harassment… I can't possible stop… that's simply not an option… I have to live, for the only ray of light in my life, the only hope i have left on this world, for my 'Child'… "Yuri"
Boom! The door bursts open, "Ben" the father to "yuri" and supposed husband to "Marry" barges in, barely able to stand on his own too feet. Ben is a known alcoholic, having no job and living of what his wife makes… from working 3 separate jobs as a; janitor, nanny and shoe polisher, but also some side hustles on the side, while also raising her son single handedly.
Marry: w-welcome back… how was your day-
Ben: F*CK OFF! I don't need your face pleasantries.
Marry of course was well aware of how ben would react, but by this point she's simply use to it. On the other hand, yuri bolts his father and hugs him warmly, for he was too young to understand what sort of person his father truly was.
Yuri: welcome home daddy~
Ben, now in furry kicks yuri full force to the ground…! "how dare you boy… didn't I warn you…to stop calling me that" Ben whips out his belt and furiously strikes at yuri- But marry quickly gets in between them, taking the strike directly to the face…
Yuri: MOMMY!!!
Ben:…so we're doing this again huh?
Marry: he's just a boy… u can hit me all you want… please… don't harm my child
Ben: very well then… I might take you up on that offer.
Ben said clinching his belt harder. Marry didn't show any sign of fear nor worry, instead, she dragged yuri into a room and locked it as he begged and cried to be wit her,,,
Marry: I'm sorry… i'm soo sorry yuri…
Strike… after Strike… after STRIKE!!! As yuri desperately cries from behind doors… until Ben got satisfied and eventually leaves again. Marry, stained all over with her own blood… couldn't even get on her feet, drags herself to yuri.
Yuri: MAMA!!! (clinches on to her tightly!) M-MAMA… MOMMA-!!!
Marry: its ok… your my little brave boy aren't you? So don't cry… or else you'll make me cry, you don't want mommy to cry do you…?
Yuri: Mamma… your hurt. (desperately trying to hold back tears)
Marry:no… I'm fine sweetie… its ok… its ok.
Then… about five years later… when yuri was 12 years of age… Ben suddenly vanished… left, despaired without a trace. Rumors were told, some say he won the lottery and went to dubai while some say he died. Never the less, yuri was overjoyed, finally, the man who caused suffering to him and his mother was gone… little did he know… that joy would never last, for that would be the last time yuri would ever experience 'True joy' ever again.
Just a few days after his fathers disappearance, one a seemingly normal day yuri returned home after school, but surprisingly, his mother was nowhere to be found; He searched around the neighborhood, within his house, in many of her work areas, but sadly, Nothing.
During his search, Yuri attention was shifted to a rather large gathering people near the river under the bridge, from the looks of it, something was wrong…
Yuri rushed into a sprint! Seeing the police and ambulance made chill run down his spine. now making his way through the large crowd of people… yuri was hands down praying it wasn't what he was thinking… but he son found out, that it was worst… a hundred times Worst…
His eyes widened in absolute terror… his breath clinched, his hands shaking uncontrollably…for what he saw… was his own mothers chopped up remains… fished out the river.
The horrific sight of his mothers decapitated head… eyes gouged out… brought yuri to his knees. His word, his joy, his only ray of light in this world… is gone… for good.
There… yuri, collapsed.
