Chapter 2: Reincarnation
For a moment, Michael felt unbearable pain.
Then his life’s memories started playing inside his head.
He remembered how he had never seen his mother.
He remembered his drunk father—how he hit him for the strangest reasons.
The beer wasn’t cold enough. The TV isn’t working.
He remembered how his father made him leave school to work multiple jobs just to give all the money to him.
He remembered his shock and disbelief when his father decided to sell one of his kidneys to pay his debts.
And his happiness when his father one day took all the money in the house and finally left him alone.
For the first time he felt... freedom!
He got kicked out of the house later because his father sold it too, but he didn’t care. He was free to do whatever he wanted.
Life was still hard on him, but even while starving on the streets, he still thought it was better than the life with his father.
