Silas sits at a desk at the back of his appartment overlooking the the skyline of Durem. A small light illuminats his face, and the desk. Infront of him sits a computer screen, the room was quiet with the exception of the soft "click click" of the keyboard as he typed.
My name is Silas Swan. I am nineteen years old. I was born on October 31st, 1988. My parents names were Mitch and Beverley Swan. They were only 20 years old when I was born. I grew up in Durem. My dad worked in one of the office buildings and my mother was a maid for the Von Helson family in their mansion. I was your normal kid, running and playing with the neighborhood kids, enjoying life. I was in middle school when my father got very ill, and later passed away. We grieved and never forgot him, but something in me changed, I was no longer the happy go lucky child I once was. I was by no means overly depressed, but I begin to see the real world and not the childish fantasy world.
Silas stopped typing for a moment, long enough to take a swig from can of Red Bino, before the soft clicking of the keys proceded
Years passed and I was in high school, I was a sophomore. I was never a ladies man like Liam is, but I had my fair share of girlfriends, and my fair share of heartache. It was the middle of my Sophomore year when I noticed something changing about me. I started to notice the good looking guys that attended school with me. I was initially concerned and not sure what was going on. It lead me to do some research about what was occurring in me. I had come to the realization that I was Bisexual, meaning I enjoyed both males and females when it came to relationships. I accepted it in stride, and got my first boyfriend. He was amazing in every way. I knew it was time to tell my mother about my lifestyle, which she later accepted. I had gotten a job at the Durem Depot, to help my mother with the expenses and such. A few months later my world came crashing down.
Silas stopped to take a deep breath, and wipe the corners of his eyes as the began to tear up
It was the first of April, the sun was shining bright and warm. My mother was at work, cleaning up the Von Helson mansion. But then the sun was blocked out and the city grew dark. It was the Gambino Tower. It fell and collapsed the mansion. The very mansion that my mother was still in at the time. Resucures flocked to the site and scavaged the rubble for any survivors, as far as they found, there were none. My mother, the only parent I had left was dead. I was deviated and complete broken. I fear that if Quinn, my boyfriend, had not been there for me, I wouldn't be here writing this. Months passed and I slowly began to recover from a vicious case of depression. During this time I was bounced placed to place staying with whatever family member would take me in. Me and my boyfriend had broken up at the end of the summer of my junior year. When senior year started, I was only a fraction of how I used to be, but I managed to live on. I was still working at the Deopt and had enough money saved to get an Apartment.
Silas looked around his apartment, this is the one he had gotten just last year
I'm still living. I still work at the Depot. I'm still alone. I'm still hoping to wake from this nightmare, But until then all I can do is embrace it and live the best I can.
