"how fancy." Mike looks at xq. "Thanks a lot." He then runs to a patch of trees nearby and collapses against a trunk opposite to the group. Why do I always mess these things up. I thought maybe... but no. Why would it change. People around me always get hurt. And it's always my fault. Tears began to fall down his face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You know, it's kind of silly. I keep telling you you aren't cursed but I can't take it when someone tells me I'm not. It's been a very long time since those around me haven't been hurt, so it's hard to not see it as a curse." Mike stopped talking for a while. He then continued in a whisper.
