章 2: Nightmare & Memories

A youngster who was in a deep sleep abruptly wakes up breathing heavily. He grips his neck with his quivering palm, sweat drenched his entire body soaking his clothes as well as the bed.

The light falling from the sun reflected by the window fell upon his face dazedly standing up from the bed while rubbing his eyes, he went to the bathroom to wash his face, clearly trying to forget the nightmare he woke up from, walking up to the wash basin, he looked up and saw his face which was being reflected in the mirror.

The face of the boy was a little above average with Asian black hair and black eyes which conveyed anxiety from his current state, 5'11ft tall though not obese a little fat could be seen on his body. The name of this boy was 'Luke Aaron', 19 years old and in his 1st year of his college.

As he sat on his bed thinking about the events that occurred in his dream, he couldn't help but stress about the situation. The reality dawned upon him as he checked the date on his smartphone which showed 24 January 2040, ten years before the date, he died. The memories of his future struggles passed through his mind like a movie clip. The difference is that the movie was real because he could feel the sensations and experiences.

Luke remarked " Who would have thought, a situation that only happens within fiction could become reality for me, back in time. Haha hahahah, that's hilarious" Looking around he stopped laughing. His current state was living alone in a small apartment consisting of a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen.

He can't help but pity the current state of both his economic conditions as well as health. Since he has been an orphan ever since the incident occurred,

Luke was born in a good family background, a well-mannered child adored by both of his parents. Luke was born with an exceptional talent like no other when he played musical instruments. Ever since he was 7 years 7-year-old child, he mastered various musical instruments such as guitar, piano, drum, etc. Even playing modifications of such instruments with ease. His control over the rhythm with his long slender fingers was godly.

The teacher appointed to teach him would resign after a week or two stating "Nothing more to teach this Genius".

He won many championships both nationally and internationally even holding the title of 'World Instrumental Prodigy', but God made every one of us equal.

His greatest asset comes with a liability which diminishes the effect of his asset. He sucked at singing, sucked at a level where the people scurried away from him like bugs fleeing from repellent which contributed to his current introverted nature.

At the age of 12, while sitting in the car returning from a competition with his family, he was kidnapped along with his parents by some bunch of individuals.

He watched as his parents were beaten to death in front of him and the people, holding his hands forward, trampled upon his fingers, they enjoyed his situation while saying " That's what common people get when they mess up with someone big they don't even know of.".

Due to the arrival of the police, the thugs were shot dead on the spot. Luke was admitted to a hospital whose fee was paid by his grandparents but the death of his parents and the current state of his body, left him traumatized. The doctors said that even though the bone in his hands had been positioned perfectly the nerve still showed a response which is great even after such an accident but the fact was that, a damaged body part can never function properly as it did before.

Robbed away of everything, he was proud of in his life, Luke went into a deep trauma. It gradually recovered as time went on.

He had fully recovered by the time he was eighteen, but there was still some trauma that remained as a mental scar. Nevertheless, with his grandparents' assistance, he finished school and left all of his gifts behind.
