It started when I was young, about around the age of three. My mother at first thought it was cute and funny but as time went on it stopped being cute and started to worry her. She blamed herself for it. You see my father wasn’t in the picture and I was an only child. She thought she did something wrong we some how in some way.

“Fine!”
I stormed up to my room and slapped the door and grab my hunting knife from my desk and looked up. I could hear my mother about to open my door when I blacked out and all I could hear was screaming, crying, begging then soft gurgling.
