Simple yet twisted( Chapter 7-Delusional Daydreams)
They said that the addiction would numb the pain. They were wrong,Dan thought, it only intensified his desire to reunite with Ella, all he did was pop pills all day, visit RiRi for ham and beef, cry in the washroom, bathroom, dining room etc.


He was done with life, he was too depressed to go out and put some labour into some constructive tasks, instead he hated his life and his world which had taken away the only thing in the world which he had loved unconditionally, Ella....

When he cried, it was traumatizing for him, since there was no one to console him, soothe him, carress his hair, say it'll be okay and plant a kiss on his forehead, hug him tightly while tears spilled on her shoulder.


She was gone, he thought, but the memories didn't go away, no matter how hard he tried. He tried LSD, and for a moment he felt like he was standing inside a lasso of fire, which was gently nudging him in the back of his head, and he was screaming hysterically, "Aaargh", whilst clutching his temples.

He did ecstasy, but instead of feeling related, he had hallucinating visions of Ella staring at him in a concerned way, like a mother looks at her child, every time he frantically lunged forward to touch her she disappeared.

As a last ditch attempt to get out of it all, he tried shrooms. Now he had an instant blackout, he was having a vision while being unconscious.


"Words can't convey the love that I have for you, my sweetheart", Dan told Ella clutching her hand and unable to look her in the face.

"Maybe it's because I belong to the hood, maybe it's because I am black, maybe because I'm not as educated as the next man, but darlin' I promise you that I love you more than any man on this darn planet."

Ella patted him on the back and hugged him, his stomach had butterflies flying all over, which happened everytime she hugged him, "Look Dan, I don't think there's a better man to settle down with, than you, you're so misunderstood and misread by people it's outrageous, I would absolutely love to marry you." He hugged her, and this time she kissed him full in the face, and it was ecstasy like never before, but before it even ended he woke up with a jerk, visions of her body ensuing before his eyes, flies in the crematorium, all over her body, he had clutched on to it for dear life. Her lifeless body which he had carried to the hospital only for the doctor to declare her dead.

He woke up screaming hysterically, "Oh lord, I cannot take this shit anymore, why have you kept me alive, after taking my life away from me, AAAAAAAARGHHHH,FUCK YOU, YOU SO CALLED PRETENTIOUS FATHER OF ALL FUCKING NOTHING, I'LL PISS ON YOUR FUCKING ASS CRACK, FILTHY SLIMY PIECE OF SWINE LIVER", he couldn't continue shouting at the top of his lungs and collapsed.

Sneak peak of Chapter 8:- But he had to live, he thought, the poor little girl wouldn't survive without her papa, he was ready to take up her ownership and let go of all his evils.
