Fire

David was shoved into a cell,it wasn't what he expected,it was empty except for a small mattress ,he had expected to be thrown into a crowded cell and maybe get bullied by others.

"Obanje"(evil child) An officer sneers at him but he only smile, he was born different and couldn't change that fact, he only wish he could change the fact that no one will bother to bail him out. His parents, though alive will not mind him rotting away in here, he was the unfortunate, unwanted baby number 13,and he resembled neither his father or mother or siblings, with his outstanding features,his parents couldn't conceal their dislike for him,his mother told him of her trials to abort him to no avail.

"David Brown jnr".A male voice calls and he responds with a lift of his head

"Do you know why you are here?The man asks ,folding his arms and staring at the 20yr old man who didn't back out from the staring competition either,he continues "I think you know why you were brought in,you started fire in your hostel, burning half of the building.....I don't know what would have possessed you to do such but what's most unnerving is how you started a fire so big without lighter ,candle ,fuel .... anything.....

He paused to analyse the young man before continuing.... With your extra ordinary looks,I need to know what I'm dealing with,human or inhumane,what are you?

He watched as David's facial expressions changed from numb to fear and then a frown register on his face

"I'm human,only human..you all claim I set fire , why will I set fire with myself in the building...

The man only smile and left him once more to his thoughts
