[Black Wings]

That same night that we had gone to walmart I was getting ready for bed. I pulled on some shorts and went to put on a new shirt when I saw a scar on my elbow. It was a thin line that was maybe an inch. I could remember how a got it like it was yesterday:

I got out of bed and went into the bathroom. I picked up dad's razor, not knowing what it was for but rememberd seeing dad shave his face with it. I tried it on my elbow, not water and slid it across, not up like you were supposed to. A line of blood formed and a stinging sensation met me.It was deep and much longer back then, and I probably should have had stitches, but I was too affraid to tell my parents. I wrapped my arm in my mickey mouse t-shirt and went back to bed, crying, thinking I was going to get into trouble.
