As Zenichi walked home from his part time job the night air felt cold against his skin. As he looked down a random street he saw some guy getting beat up by some punks. ‘Oh well not my problem’ Zenichi thought to himself as he continued on his way. When he got in front of his house he could hear a dog barking in the distance. Before he could open the door someone else did on their way out. It was a large muscular hairy man that gave Zenichi a smug smile as he left the door open and walked off into the night. This was the normal goings of this place, there was always some random guy coming or going.
After Zenichi went inside and locked the door he began to make his way to his room when he was stopped by the voice of his mother. ‘Where were you all day huh?’ she said from the kitchen. When Zenichi walked into the kitchen he was greeted by the sight of his mother injecting something into her arm from a needle. “I have a job remember? I have to get food somehow”. Zenichi replied in a monotone voice. ‘Oh is that so? Well I’m going to need some extra money from you this week with your rent.’ The sound of her voice seemed repulsive to Zenichi’s ears and he wanted nothing more then to just go to his room and sleep.
“What the hell are you talking about? I gave you my part of the rent already”. She glared at him, the dim light of the room did her face no favors. ‘Well as long as I’m your mother you’ll do as I say! And I told you this week I need your part of the rent and extra!’ Zenichi began to leave to his room as he said. “I gave you what I owe; if you don’t have it that’s your problem to fix now isn’t it”. As he closed his door he could hear her continue on talking about how he was a mistake and she wished he would just die so she wouldn’t have to see his ungrateful ass anymore. “I’m the ungrateful one? Yah ok, just be careful what you wish for”. Zenichi said as he lit a cigarette, took a drag, and pulled out a razor blade from under his bed. “Soon enough I’ll be free…..soon”. He said in almost a whisper to himself.
