Levels of Blade
by Camille Baldoz
The moment she found out that her father was committing adultery, her family getting broken emotionally, her surroundings are turning to disaster, that’s when she realized, she’s already living in the reality that people talked about when she had no knowledge. She always question herself, why they want to be a child again. Until flashback came between herself and her mother, hurting her physically, throwing things at her, and slowly killing her with awful words. Another flashback came, a stranger telling her she looks like a monster, her colleagues saying she will never make anything, her trusted friends talking behind her back saying she’s not really attractive to be their friends, bunch of people always putting her on the last list of exquisite people. Therefore, she realized that she’s living in a different levels of blade. She thought it was only in the four corners of their house and of the academy. But as she stepped out on the bigger world, she didn’t noticed she’s entering to another level of blade. Making her alive while dying, literally giving her another hope while giving her false hopes, determining to go on while offering deathly consequences. Yet she survived, so she decided to just go back on the four corners because she knew to herself that another level of blade might kill her. But the clock was too late, another level of blade was coming. This time, it chasing her. Chasing her without giving any choices but to be caught. Slowly creating blissful feelings. Treating her like a precious pearl. Shielding her from different levels of blade. But slowly wrecking her bit by bit, gradually making her emotions to be paralyzed that made herself told that this life she has is the REALITY with different levels that made her tried her best to skedaddle from the sharpness of the blade . That’s when she found out why people wanted to be a child again.
