This story contains themes or mentions of physical violence, gore, or abuse.

In a small town named Bukitbersih, there is a hut where a boy spend his time in that palace. Quite calm and safe. It still early morning without a watch. But it's quite far away from public. So nothing can stop anyone for do any kind of rebellious stuff. Hunting, farming, or plant some seeds. In the other bird house where tiga sejoli playing some cards, they spend their time for hours, talking about someone to make themselves happy. "Hey man, you know that scary guy I just encounter few days ago?" A man with round glasses like to enjoy his own sarcasm. "Of course not, Martini. Who is it? Your boyfriend?" Relly our leader control the dominance. Actually I'm uneasy man to being intimidated. "Maybe just someone who just want your milk money." He's stunned, somehow my guess often correct while I just try to make a joke. "What is it? You try to be fooled, aren't ya?" This always happen so I feel bored of it. "You goddamn right, Jeef." The other guy Reed just not reacted. I used to think negatively towards people like him. "Jeef, you made a story last night, I swear!" Martini annoying as hell. Slob just overreact like an atomic bomb attacking our priceless forrest. Not even fat pig enough to fulfill our bellies. "Ladies...." "Let's get the hell out of here." Come on Rell, I don't even think you are the leader. Not even qualified. I believe any kind of childish group like this mostly have a dumbass leader. Just try me and you will be bright future. "So who's that your lovely stuff you carry in your wet dream, stud?" "She's a lady, hotshot! I'm enough with your mouthy suck!" That's it, my man. As I expected, Relly quiet thousands words, seeing a soil with regret. For a viewer like me, I used to see anything around my eyes and thinking about why this and that happen. A weird habit but let's see who's the toughest a decade from now on. We keep walking and nothing interesting happen. Relly just being busy with his little branch, cutting it with a wild knife. I'm the only one who doesn't laugh at him. So that's why I hate school the most. Everyone just pretend they know everything. Just lusting for showing off and stupidly not thinking why this freakin cycle repeated time to century. Fools, not even think about to change it. "So the lady, how is she look like?" I continued the quiet walk for a bit. "Umm.." "I'm not sure it's a woman or male." That's it, same as I expected. No one laughs, that's a habit. But I'm pretty sure he has some sense that those smartass fools just keep wrong those stereotype.

So what now? Quietly nonsense of all time. But I'm pretty sure it's involved with money business. We all dropout from college in Southampton city. Most of us study economics by imposterized as a handyman, seeing those lecturers explain something that mindblown our brain. So we decide to get out with some polaroid photos for we write in our majestic book in our tall tree house. In the other hand, Roy just mind his own business. Counting money with a smirk that no one knows since it's a secret monopoly. I know him, and that's the guy Martini meant whole time. Many kind of words I had with Roy, we try to trick some people, including our friends. So basically he wearing some coat, very mystical but for people like us just keep slow and steady unlike them. "Here it is." "What is it, Jeef?” Holy Moses, I forget about our secret place. But things gotta toughten up, so be it. We often get things done together without overreacted towards what’s gonna happen next. “Nothing, just tired for walking.” Martini smirking at me, knowing I’m lying. But it seems no one interested about my suspicious act. Somehow I lost my compass and walk on another way instead keep on the track. “Hey Jeef, what the hell you thinking man?” “Nothing, just waiting for the rain to take a bath.” “Jeez, I’m tired of you, man. Let’s keep going before I kick your ass.” I’m sick of this bossy man. It’s enough being picked off since elementary school. It just about suggestion, now I’m ready for this one slob. “What’s the matter, you look scared, I’, sorry “ “Take a good look, do you see any tears?” I don’t try to intimidate him, just pure anger lashing out since I was a coward back then. Rell now step back, but of course he doesn’t want to lost his cool. “Whatever happen, I know something inside is more interesting, you selfish!” I know myself always keep something secret so no one prick like him get involved. It’s through process of course. People since they’re little brat, the ego sometimes should be risen before down. “WHACK.” I punched him right on the face. I could hit on the liver so he won’t get back up. But boys like some kind of adrenaline, isn’t it? “Back when we’re little, I used to hold back my punches. Afraid if my opponent punch harder than me. But now, not even a pussy like you can hold me back. I don’t even afraid to die since that time.” I know Rell’s blood pressure and his glutoined fat risen up, ready to punch harder. “Hahhhh rargghh, dieee you pighg!!!!!” I kick him on his belly. Nothing funny, I just tired of him. His bitches as always being scared as hell towards this piggy shit. “You want another one, ladies! Huhhh!” They don’t answer. “I know, buch of pussies.”

I still stick with my butterfly. We’re both, with same experience and injustice. Ready to make our own things, with some experiments and always learning. Without stopping from this fools to not let them impact our brain.

In the palace, we play something. Though nothing reallly change. we can't play chess. Not because we have no interest in strategic game style. But some people will just playing it to be considered as a real man. We don't really think about it. But more into ten steps ahead. Always being careful with discussion, random topic will lead to massacre. "So the fruit we just steal from those folks, how did you get it?" Roy asked me, but I know he already knew it before it happened. "You must know, I'm not only a spy, but their long old mates even when we just a child." "Fine then, I don't crap with those nostalgia." "You read my mind." A kid with different attitude must being ignored mostly. Last time created emotionless mind, but just orient. For most normal human being, place like this covered with ghost. But for a weird people, it's a real heaven. We just do minimal 3o push ups and seven pull ups with a long stick we put there, well made by a forest tree. Must prepare for worst case scenario. "It's almost impossible to create such big land for farm anything, Roy." "Don't worry, I handle it." It create such big problem if they may spied us from behind. But we create any kind of weapons. Enough to make them suffer for a long time.

"Claudia, get out from your bed." "Who is she?" I'm not really suprised though. Like I said, weird man have some stuff to do on his own. I don't need any explanation. Our fantasion always same. Kidnapping a girl, tied her up, bring it to our hut; And then, treat her good until her trust parameter raised highly. At night spend time with her by opening her mouth-taped, and talking. Of course at first try to make a calm sound as warm as possible. And not by force, but this way could be make something different. We know some of the imagination could be happen in human being brain that must be different with animal. "So what now, Claudia?" Roy give a signal for opinion. "Let me get you both some water." "Thank you." Like I said, we're not kind of that, just different, but honest. "Enough of that, we ready for war."
