He was supposed to keep the boy safe, keep him close

He had failed, now he was being punished

He dropped to the ground and screamed

The Pain in His head would not stop

His nephew … The boy

More screaming

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

The Pain would not stop

He was an only child so was his wife

Nothing made sense

He hated him

The burden given by the … tall … red

Knives racked his brains

Wasps buzzed and stung and chewed behind his eyes

His nephew the one he was supposed to love and nurture

How could he nurture what he hated?

The boy had left

Did he try to keep him or drive him away?

Either way he had failed and he would suffer.

Love with forced hatred or hatred with forced love

It didn't matter now he was falling apart
