This is the story of josh, josh is your typical kind of a 16 year old angsty teen, never talking to people always staying away from trouble and never being centre of attention. at home he is often taken advantage of by his two older brothers robert and mike, and since their parents died in an unexpected and unexplained circumstances while they were returning home from the biochemistry lab where they work.
one day, josh is walking to college with his only friend, alice, a few of the older boys behind them start to chuckle and throw stones at alice, she’s always made fun of for hanging out with josh, one of these stones hits alice right on the head and he cries in pain “HEY!” josh turns and calls back to the boys “what’cha do that for?” he asks them, he starts to slowly approach them “heh, fun.” the tallest of the three replies, “what’s so FUN about it?!” as josh shouts louder and louder leaves start to come off the trees around him and as he gets closer to the boys and continues to shout the joyous laughter slowly starts to fade in their face. josh’s eyes had turned from their usual pale blue to an amber yellow he grabs the tallest boy in the group shouting into his face “WHY WOULD YOU THINK IT WAS FUNNY?” he screams. the boy stays silent in josh’s arms “WHY?!” josh starts to shake the boy, his eyes well up as he lets go of him and his body drops to the ground in front of him. josh falls to him knees, alice puts her hand on his shoulder as a tear appears in his eyes. the other two boys are long gone by now. the plant life behind josh is all dead, the trees are bare and the flower that was in alice’s hair has wilted. josh stands holds the flower in his hand “here” he wipes a tear from his eye “let me fix that” the flower in his hands turns back into it’s previously beautiful form. the sirens start to ring in the background, josh sits on a nearby wall. i’m a monster, aren’t i?
a car pulls up alongside josh “not a monster, you’re talented. special. come with me."
