People are given hundreds
of thousands words to express themselves in hundreds of languages and dialects
And yet,
even with all of these words,
people still find themselves at a loss of what to say.
People still find themselves choking on the words that they have said too many times to count.

A young boy only need to say 2 words.
2 words to explain everything.
But like many,
he was choking on them

As he spoke the words,
the atmosphere changed.
His pale skin turned translucent.
The hand that griped his, tightened.
Everyone's blood ran cold.

"My father." he said,
stuttering as he spoke.
The burn marks.
The glass shards.
The scars and cuts etched into his skin.
The engravings of deragatories.
"My father." he repeats a final time.

His story is not the last.
His story is certainly not the first.
However,
His story is one that has and will continue in every generation, city, country, and continent.

The plot is the same.
The climax is the same.
Only, the characters change.
Only, the duration changes.
And only, the beginning changes.
The ending is what remains mysterious.

Some may end up like the boy.
Waking up, Safe,
in a hospital room.

While others, may end in darkness.
Finally, receiving the peace
they so desperately wanted.

These stories are filled with words
Words that cause the main actors
to choke

Now,

Here's a question with the knowledge of thousands of words -

Will you do anything to change the story?
