The Man Named Murphy

The man looks over at you in shock and snatches the bottle out of your hand.

His hands begin to tremble as he reads the name on the bottle "Murphy." he says as tears begin to flow down his white glossy cheeks wetting his cloak.

"My family..."

He says as he runs his hand up and down the bottle not letting it miss even the smallest space.

"What about your family did he poison them too?" Your mom says as she looks down at the man who has now dropped to his knees and is mumbling, "I can't." over and over and over again

"Are you ok you say as you place a hand on he shoulder."

But he says nothing.

The rooms a silent for a few minutes until the man screams in a penetrating.

"I CANT DO THIS!"

As he proceeds to smash the bottle and gouge his throat out.

Blood squirts out like a water foundation cover everything including you and your mom drenching your clothes and dying it a dark crimson red.

You drop to your knees and try to catch your breath as you stare down at the man's limp body still leaking out the warm translucent liquid.

You begin to feel a burning ache in your stomach it climbs up your esophagus getting hotter and hotter then finally it comes up.

You throw up all over the floor then take a step back and look down at your hands.

"Their shacking why won't they stop shacking"

Your mom quickly pulls you into her embrace and hugs you tight she says something but you can't hear anything.

Your bodies too numb you can't even feel her anymore it's just you and the body "He's dead" you say as the tears begin to flow.

'Is that what will happen to dad...'

'Will he be nothing but a cold piece of meat on the ground.'

'No, I can't let that happen I won't let that happen.'

You don't remember much after that other than your Mom cleaning everything up and disposed of the body, while you just sat and watched deep in thought.

'It's settled I'm going to learn the Flames Of Fury so I can save my Father, no one else will be hurt by this man named Murphy!'
