"You can do anything that any other kid can do. Just because you can't see like other kids.... I don't want you to think you're lesser than other kids. Trust me, Shaune. Trust Uncle Daniels, I'm looking out for your best interest.."


"Shaune! Hold on, okay? Don't let go, I'll get Mr.Darrius, it'll be okay- Just don't let go!"

I didn't listen. I was too scared to listen. I was hanging off of something...but I didn't know what was below my hanging body, or even what I was hanging on to. It felt like metal, monkey bars, right? It didn't matter. I don't know what I did wrong. I was being yelled at, which was what made me scared, but if he hadn't yelled, I would have had fun. I could see things just fine by imagining what they'd look like when I touched them, at least...that's what Mr.Darrius told me.

I felt the cold metal slip from my hands without warning, and I felt the wind I was expecting to from the drop to the ground. Monkey Bars were so high up, weren't they? I remembered the times when I'd see how many seconds it took for a kid to drop to the ground from the monkey bars at school, and most times it was less than one second, sometimes a full second. So I decided to count how long it took for me to fall. I could count it, and then I'd see for myself how long it took. Maybe these would be even taller monkey bars and it'd take two seconds to fall to the ground! How fun!

One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Seven...

Why wasn't I hitting the ground? It must be a long drop from the monkey bars... maybe I was experiencing it in slow motion? No doubt if the monkey bars hurt my legs when I fell off them at school...this would hurt a lot. But I had been stung by a wasp once, so I'm super strong, and I can handle any pain that a silly fall can give me. Plus, I was special! I could see things with my feet! No kid I know can do that except me! I'm incredibly strong, I'm a nice person, and I can do something that nobody else can! I'm like that one person from Mr.Darrius' tv shows, I'm like daredevil.. I'm like a Superher-

Dear Governor,
We've recently discovered a child that fell down from above. We believed that the chasm had just claimed yet another life from above, but this child is a miracle. They've got severe brain damages due to the fall, and had multiple ribs broken which makes them unable to move their torso for now. One of their back legs are considered useless now, the bones have broken to the point of which we cannot fix it. We've been informed by the doctors that removing the leg is an impossibility. This leaves us a disabled child who will need help to learn how to exist again.

We beg of you, Governor, as you are the only one qualified to bring someone out of such a hopeless state, please help us save this miracle child. We shall pay you as much as you desire, we just need you to help us get this child's life back. They're silent, and they've got the most gorgeous blue hair, sir. They reminded us a lot like your child who was taken away from you. I know, the way we phrase it is horrid, but... just in case this miracle is far more impressive than we expect from first glance, we ask you take the child into your care.

Sincerely, The Head of Medical Analysis.


Dear Diary,
Today was my first day outside of the hospital! It was really fun, and dad came along with me! He said that I was finally old enough to be out in the tunnels too! Yay!! All the other kids here love to play in the tunnels! It's hard to get entertainment down here, apparently. but my dad said that we have our fun activities around the place. He told me to be super careful though. He says that I'm blind, and because of that, I'm not able to see anything in front of me! He says it could be dangerous if I don't watch out for myself. He also told me that some bad man told me that I shouldn't be careful, and that's why I don't remember anything past we waking up in the hospital... I want to find out who that bad man is so that I can tell them how rude that was.

When we went outside today... we saw a little kid who fell down from this little bridge over part of our home. He smelled gross, and the stench stuck in my nose all day. I poked him and felt things crawling under his skin. Dad said not to touch him, and I heard him shove the body away. I heard a lot of scuttling noises too... but I didn't want to ask what they came from. Dad told me that I could have been like that child if I hadn't been saved by an angel. He told me that the bad man had made me jump down from the bridge, and that It was a miracle that I was still around... Whatever that meant.

Dad told me to never trust someone who's telling something called a lie. A lie means that it isn't true, and even if it's to make someone feel better, you should never tell a lie. The bad man told a lie to me that was meant to make me feel better... but now I don't walk right, and now I have special metal ribs that hurt a lot. Sometimes I think about it and cry.

I promised to never tell a lie ever, because I didn't want to hurt people like the bad man.

Sincerely, Shaune

After making a full recovery from the fall, Shaune became a spelunker, diving deeper into his homeland. He created special gear for himself that helped him see around him with echolocation. He couldn't be paid for it while living in his cave home, but eventually, once he was old enough to choose to leave the caves, he was able to find a job in spelunking and get paid for it. He even got to a point where he was a leader of multiple important journeys underground that made him a national hero in the eyes of his peers.

He gained psychiatric help after he remembered his past, being able to vent out their feelings about the lie they were told, and being a poster boy for a national campaign against child abuse. Some are still hunting for the kalon that first lied to him, as he was later found to be both a cultist and a murderer through the experiences of other children from the orphanage that Shaune remembered being a member of before he had his great fall.

At one point when he got older, Shaune met up with his former guardian figure, the manager of the orphanage, and the one who told the lie that hurt him so badly. Most people who Shaune had talked to said the same thing, that Shaune, should he ever encounter them again, had to hurt him just as bad as he was hurt. However, Shaune couldn't bring himself to do anything other than accept the apology. He knew very well that he really shouldn't have, considering what had happened to him, but he didn't know what else he could do. He of course didn't become friends with them, but Shaune isn't burdened with the feeling of revenge, which would have been enough to get himself hurt if he did have it inside of him.

Sometimes, they get self conscious about themselves due to how they're unable to see what everyone else sees. They don't know what's normal in terms of body weight, facial structure, or even in hair length. Sometimes, he worries that he's ugly, and that everyone else in the world is larger or skinnier than him, that their hair is shorter, that their faces are different compared to his. However, to combat this, some of his close friends will assure them that they look just as beautiful as anyone else.

Dear Father,
I hope you're doing well down there. I know I'm doing alright up here.

I wish you were here to see it, so that you can tell me what it looks like... Heh, you thought I was going to say something about me being able to see now, huh. Well, I'm not that much of a miracle child. But, I hope you can find a way to visit soon. I hope you'll be proud of me, for overcoming so much in spite of being lied to so early in life.

I love you, Stay Safe Dad.

Love, Shaune.
