A man stands in the hall of his home, where he sees two members in an intimate position.
As soon as he saw them, his chest started to feel tighter and his breathing became harder and heavier, his legs became weaker and he fell to the floor, and he started sweating profoundly.
The world around him seemed to dim, and the sounds of his mother calling him didn't reach him. There was a sharp pain in his chest like a jabbing sensation in his heart.
They say that life flashes before your eyes just before you die and it was happening to him now.
The man had a tough from a young age. They weren't a well-off family and his father's drinking habit only dragged them down and he was very abusive towards his family.
After the young man reached a certain age. he stood up to his father and kicked him out of the house. By then he was in college but had no money to rent the house. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noᴠelfire.net
So he quit his studies and started working. He took care of his mother and sister. His mother had suffered from PTSD from her abusive husband, and it was tough for her to move on.
So he helped his mother pay for her therapist and took care of her daily, tending to her. His father, from the time he knew, always hit him. he didn't know. So he hated him. he had no time for his life.
All he did was take care of his mother and sister, paying for her school.
And after his sister completed college, she eloped with her lover in the college and didn't even call for her wedding.
Both mother and son. he loved his sister and cared for her and what she did did number on him. he became sensitive issues and that's when he met a woman in his construction job.
They hit off well and it lasted two years.
Then one night, he found her with the site manager, him groping her.
When he confronted her, she said that he wasn't earning well and she needed money.
Again, the young man was devasted, and his mother comforted him. He moved on with his life, taking care of his mother and providing for her, as she was the only woman who cared for him.
But that was also shattered today as he saw his mother and his father, a man who hated with his guts sitting in his living room, intimate with his mother. How could she get back with him?
How could she allow a man who destroyed their life into their home? The thoughts flashed in his mind.
His world started to darken slowly. The mother held her son, calling his name she could feel his life slip away. She wept uncontrollably.
