LOGINMy sister always got away with everything, so I naturally became Dad's favorite guinea pig to make an example of. When we were little, my sister refused to eat vegetables. He threw me into the bathroom, locked me in for five days without food, and starved me until I vomited blood. My sister was so terrified that she never dared to be a picky eater again. When we got older, she became obsessed with video games. Dad tied me to the computer and ordered me to play nonstop for thirty hours until my eyes bled. My sister swore she would never touch a computer again, and only then did he stop. Later, once puberty hit, my sister refused to wear thermal underwear. When Dad found out, he threw me into the freezer at our family-run supermarket. Facing my sister's stunned expression, he simply shut the freezer door. "Nicole, today I'm going to show you what frostbite looks like! Let's see if you dare disobey me again!" "Dad!" My sister dropped to her knees. "I know I was wrong. I really do! Please let him out!" No matter how she begged, Dad remained unmoved. I collapsed onto the floor as the freezing air slowly seeped into my body. Feeling my heartbeat grow weaker and weaker, I finally forced a bitter smile. 'Dad, I don't want to be your guinea pig anymore.'

To do so would have been a betrayal of my past self.He reached out and gently touched my photograph on the gravestone.Nicole had chosen it.It was taken when I graduated from middle school. I was in a tiny suit. It was one of the few decent photos I had."Look how handsome you are. You look so much like me."But maybe that's exactly why I hated seeing you so much. Because when I looked at you, it was like looking at the helpless, pathetic version of myself from the past."So I couldn't stand seeing you. It was almost as if not seeing you meant I had succeeded."In the quiet, chilly mountains, the only sounds were his endless murmuring and occasional choked sobs.He talked for the entire night. He didn't stop until the sky began to turn bright at dawn.He didn't go home. Instead, he went to the freezer.After stepping inside, he rubbed his hands and instinctively reached for the temperature controls, but the display didn't change.He froze for a mo
They brought me to the crematorium.Rhonda had just reached for the pen to sign the paperwork when someone suddenly snatched it from behind her and hurled it to the floor."Don't sign it!" David looked crazed and obsessive. "My son isn't dead! None of you are allowed to sign anything!"The veins on Rhonda's forehead bulged. She turned around and saw his almost deranged expression."David!" She screamed furiously. "Chris is already dead because of you! Do you want to keep him from resting in peace even after death? Do you hate him that much?"David's expression stiffened. He suddenly choked out, "I'm his father. How could I hate him?"I love him more than anything else in the world."I'm just scared. I'm scared of losing. I'm scared he'll become someone like me, so I was especially strict with him."The air fell silent for two seconds.Rhonda and Nicole exchanged a glance. They were both stunned.Even I stood frozen as I stared at David's grief-stricken face.Then an unbearab
It felt as if there was an explosion right next to Rhonda and Nicole. Their eyes instantly welled up with tears.The doctor sighed and pursed his lips."Children already have weaker immune systems. We even tried using a defibrillator, but it didn't work. All of his internal organs were frozen solid. They were so badly damaged that they would have shattered at the slightest touch. There's really nothing we could've done."He glanced at all three of them sympathetically."Prepare for the funeral. Let the boy go in peace."There was silence.The hallway outside the emergency room fell completely silent. Only their rapid breathing and erratic heartbeats could be heard."Impossible."David staggered backward and blinked repeatedly. His eyes filled with panic."H-How could he be dead?"Nicole could no longer hold back her tears. She sobbed uncontrollably after being overwhelmed by grief.Rhonda, a woman who had worked hard all her life, covered her face with her calloused hands an
I could hear the mechanical click of the turning key.I stood to the side with a bitter smile. I wondered if they'd be shocked once they went inside.The heavy iron door creaked open. A blast of freezing air rushed out.The people standing outside couldn't help but shudder.Rhonda and Nicole exchanged a glance.The ominous feeling in their hearts grew stronger. "What's going on? Why is it so cold?"David was stunned too.He instinctively tried to defend himself. "That's impossible. I clearly turned the temperature up by 54 degrees. It shouldn't be this cold."He pushed the iron door open and was the first to step inside.Rhonda and Nicole immediately shoved him aside and searched the freezer. "Chris! Chris!"Their gazes soon landed on the body curled up in the corner. By then, I was in nothing but my thermal underwear, and my entire body was covered in a thick layer of frost.Their eyes widened in horror."Chris!"Nicole stumbled toward me and pulled my frozen, rigid body
