The boy then shut the door and took his dad near the dining table and helped him to sit on the chair placed there.
Well, it wasn’t even evening, in fact, there were still two to three hours before the sun could set. Of course, the boy had probably come earlier from the school or maybe the school had a half-day.
After leaving his dad, he went to fetch water so that he could give it to his dad, but the moment he left, his father fell on the ground.
It was as if something hit the ground with a loud smack.
The boy was shocked by the sudden noise, of course, only he and his dad were present here so it was quite unusual. He hadn’t seen his mom so the thought about her didn’t cross his mind either.
Since the table was in his sight and was clearly visible from the kitchen, all he had to do was turn his head and he did that precisely and flawlessly.
Everything seemed normal to him, of course, because of the chairs and the high shelf-like half-wall that was built, he failed to see his father since that blocked the end part of the table where his father fell.
He filled water in a glass from the filter that was hanging on the wall which purified the water. He almost immediately brought that towards the table only to find his dad missing from his sight.
“Dad!”, he raised his voice and rushed towards him while still holding the glass of water, needless to say, a little bit of it spill on the ground due to his rushing.
He had a worrisome expression on his face and was legitimately panicking right now. Of course, he blamed himself because he hadn’t placed him in a proper place because of which he fell on the ground due to an irregular sense of balance after drinking.
“Sigh, there are no marks of getting hit…”, of course, one could easily hurt his head or some other part while falling just from a height that was no more than a meter while being unconscious!
The glass of water that he held slipped from his hand and all the water spilled over, well, it would be appropriate to say that his grip weakened due to which the glass of water fell.
“…”
“You must be joking right?”
The boy noticed something that left his hand and his entire body trembling, probably that was why his grip weakened.
“Why are you doing this?”, he asked his dad.

He thought that his dad was just joking, but after seeing that there were no breathing movements even after saying that, he started to sweat profusely.
He failed to notice that though and unfortunately even before he could take any necessary steps to save his dad, his breathing had already stopped.
Tears ran down his eyes because of the constant negative thoughts that consumed his mind.
Of course, when he touched him again, he could feel that the body was a bit cold.
“Beverages increase the temperature of the body! But why is your temperature less than normal?”, he asked. Indeed, he was no thermometer, but he was quite sensitive to changes in temperature, probably that was why he could say that his body was cold.
“Why?”, although he didn’t want to admit it, he realized that his dad was dead.
Of course, for a moment he thought that it was only him making some mistake because o which he thought about calling an ambulance, but when he noticed that blood started oozing out of his ears and eyes with no respiration, in fact, breathing at all, he realized that he was dead.
“This isn’t real!”
“Mom!”
“Can’t you hear me shout and scream?”, he stood up and walked towards their bedroom to tell them what had happened.
Burden? Yes, a burden, after all, he had started to blame himself for his father’s death.
“Mom…”, he opened the sliding Japanese-styled door only to find something much more shocking.
“Mom…?”
How did he realize? Of course, he was able to after seeing body parts fallen all over the place.
“Mom…?”, he easily recognized it to be his mom. Well, the face was somewhat recognizable.
“Interesting, so this is supposed to be the sauce which I ate earlier right?”
“Haha…”
A small pool of blood had been formed in front of the bedsheets near the head. He jumped right over it and started to play and bathe with the blood as if it was rainwater in a pothole.
“This is definitely a dream! Hahaha!”, he lost a screw maybe after seeing all the blood and the parts of the body such as intestines that were tied around the head on the hair as if it were some decoration piece.
“It’s so beautiful!”, he kept on laughing as if he was some creep.
But the dream seemed way too long for him so he basically stopped hoping for it.
“Hands up!”, they said in a loud voice while being cautious after seeing that he looked somewhat like a maniac.
“Huh? Cops?”, the boy was confused by seeing them in his house.
Oh well, the question was answered much quicker than expected. His sister stood in front of him while having a terrified look on her face.
Who wouldn’t think that after seeing his bizarre behavior?
Well, he was covered with blood after all.
“…”
