Changes of Time
Based Around The Life Of Adam Knight
By Tyger.C.Lee
An abusive father, an alcoholic mother. You hear it about it on the news everyday, and thank God it isn’t you. That’s my life…or at least it was, things are changing for the better now. The scars of old are still there, but they get easier to deal with each passing day.
This is my story. I’m Adam Knight.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think my luck started when I was first born, three weeks late, then nearly dropped!
I was born on a New Moon, also known as the moon of change.
I had a brother Kyle, we never got along. There was this one time…he kept pushing my head under the water of the bath, messing around. I can still remember the feeling of the water splashing everywhere, going down my throat flowing into my lungs, I can barely think about to this day with out shaking. Then one time my other brother Travis even hit me with a shovel…you might think I should hate him, but he’s my brother and I couldn’t hate him.
But really…this all started when I was six years old, my parents wanted a divorce.
The fighting got really bad, there was fighting so many nights, some nights fighting is the sound I went to sleep to.
Then one day, I was sitting on a wooden bench next to a judge. I could feel the judge looking at me, so I turn my head to look at him.
“Adam,” said the judge “The choice is yours, who do you want to live with your mom or you dad?”
I froze, I was so nervous. Who to pick? A Mother never there, or an abusive Father? I don’t know how long I sat there silent, but it felt like years to me. I felt like I was going to break down and cry, but before the first tear could drop I heard myself utter in a whisper “Daddy..”
Before I knew it, the decision was made. I always end up thinking what would have happened if I choose mom?
I heard the judge ask something about what my parents thought of the choice, I couldn’t fully understand what was being said around me because of this roaring in my ears that seemed to have no end. I sat there hour or at least it seemed like it, I felt like I was going to puke.
That's all I have for now, hope you like it and thanks to Adam for letting me write it.
