Hopeless Mercy - Prologue & Disclaimer

Prologue

Lights everywhere. White, pale lights and so many faces. So many unfamiliar faces. Everyone starts somewhere. This is a story of a boy who was born in the wrong place, at the wrong time. This is my life’s diary as a kid, a friend, a brother, a failure, and even a mercenary. Typically, at this part of a diary, the person would introduce who they were starting with a name. In my case, I can’t, since I am no longer sure who I am. Having said that, I have a few things that I still know for sure. I am a young adult who has no clear reason for being alive anymore, nor do I deserve to be as you will soon see. Now, I will tell you how it all started, or as I see it, how it all slowly ended. This was my start, in the hospital room of an American hospital. Being born on a plane traveling from Finland to Canada caused a few issues with citizenship; however, the biggest problem was about to happen. The nearest hospital was American, which meant I was to be born as a citizen to all three countries. Since that moment, my parents traveled around the United States to pursue my father’s career. Until the age of two, I had only known living as crying; I could sleep perfectly directly in the middle of all the chaos, the center of the race track, where it was loudest.
When I turned three, my parents decided to move down south where they would raise their soon to be new child who was my unborn brother. At the age of four, I showed very little interest in anything except a single girl in my class named Kara. In fact, I was told I was dating this girl in Pre-K.

However, around the time I turned seven years old I was sent to live somewhere far away from the innocence I once knew and this is where our story really starts.
