END OF THE GUARDIAN DEVIL

That night a part of him died inside. He tried to forget about that trauma but like a haunted house the nightmare stuck before him. He tried speaking it out through writing but no one cared enough to take it seriously. One evening, he got home devastated. His drunk guardian attacked, pouncing on him like a fierce tiger on a gazelle and molested the defenseless Logan again!

OK, let’s consider the possibilities of surviving before the second incident, maybe Logan could have moved on with the first attack after years of struggling, maybe he would have chosen to keep it a secret to himself and live with it. Maybe he planned on running away from home or maybe he hoped that would never ever occur again but then once beaten...

That was the end of an innocent soul. His guardian was a stray wild beast and he happened to be his prey. Broken Logan locked himself up in his room. Hours passed, days ended still locked up in his room sobbing, clinging on a thread of his pouring soul. To him the world turned into a dust, a cruel place with no one to trust.

When he would open his eyes he could see his world crumbling down before him, his dreams shattered, his soul draining from him. When he would close his eyes he could see his beast attacking him. These weren’t the memories he wanted to live with. There was only one way to get out of this all, he thought. Logan got up from the floor, stared at his bed-sheet then the ceiling and what happened next was just a total blackout.

Days later his hanging lifeless body was found by the police who received a report from Logan’s teacher of his absence. Thanks to forensic professionals who revealed that he was molested by the father. The father got arrested for child abuse and sexual assaults, he was sentenced for a life term imprisonment.

I don’t know about you but they call it justice. But, does it have to end this way?
