"... I died... I... I died!!"
The boy's words were trembling as they met Marcus's ears.
Marcus was 5 meters away from the weeping boy, who was convincingly his younger self.
Marcus was pretty sure that he could not hear anything, anything at all!! besides the ringing cries of the boy which echoed deep inside his eardrums.
Oddly, he was not able to take his eyes off the weeping boy and focus on his inner demon, who seemed to float above him, shouting something at him.
But all the connotations and shouts from the Demon did not reach Marcus as it got inundated under the volume from the cries of his younger, whimpering self.
He felt that his demon was telling him something very serious. His intuition never lied to him, but as it was now, he couldn't move the way he wanted, instead, he could only keep his eyes straight towards the weeping boy and move forwards.
'Maybe it was the programming of the hidden file'
He thought.
