"Come on! Please don't let it be too late." Kai said to himself as he ran back home carrying vital medicine for his father. . . which he stole. Like they could stop him. After surviving the explosion from some unknown source he discovered he could transform his body into a solid rock-like substance. Boy were those bullies surprised when they tried to punch him.<span style="font-style: italic">Hehe. He won't be using that hand for a while.</span>He thought to himself as he relished that memory from long ago. His father wasn't so lucky, however, and came down with a fever due to the radiation. He needed medication desperately, even if he didn't like him. . . he was his only family.<br/><br/>Arriving at the house he stopped.It was just a clothes shop, but it was their "home" considering the last one burned down after the explosion. Kai slowed down as he approached the back door. Something was not right, the air felt different for some reason. He felt a need to be cautious as he slowly opened the creaking door. With medicine in hand he crouched low and entered the store, being careful to stay behind objects that could conceal him. Kai heard footsteps from not too far away. "What are strangers doing here?" He whispered out loud. He crouched down further to lie on his belly and peered from underneath the clothes' racks. He could see his father sitting behind the cash register gasping for air. A stranger approached him and and appeared to be. . . examining him? There were hushed whispers that weren't audible enough for him to hear. Then out of nowhere a wolf appeared where he swore a small girl was standing just minutes before.<br/>Kai looked on in horror as the wolf crunched down on his father and then began devouring him before his very eyes. His mouth went dry as gazed upon his father being swallowed inch by inch, whole and alive. Unable to speak and unable to move, his mind was screaming inside his head as the only family he had left in this world began sliding down a dark void, never to return.
