100 Short Prayers

私の顔には生まれつきアザと肉腫があり、まるで暗闇に潜むブスとして生きてきた。 そんな私の人生を変えたのは、クラスの美少女・森下葉月の一言だった。 「ブスと寝る度胸があるなら、あなたとデートしてあげる」 彼女に片思いしていた宮川直哉は、その挑発に乗り、皆の前で私を倉庫に引きずり込み、エロ動画を撮影した。 しかし、葉月は約束を破り、「冗談に決まってるでしょ。まさか本気にするなんて、よっぽど女に飢えてるのね」と冷たく笑った。 その言葉に激怒した直哉は、私の頭から足元まで硫酸を浴びせかけた。 その後、彼は退学処分を受け、半年間少年院に入れられた。一方、葉月は何事もなかったかのように、学校でみんなの注目を浴び続けていた。 私は病院で、昼夜問わず腐りゆく肉体の痛みに苦しめられ、生きる希望を失っていた。 そんな時、突然「寄生システム」と名乗るものが私の前に現れた。 葉月に寄生虫のようにしがみつけば、彼女のすべてを吸収し、最終的に宿主を完全に乗っ取れる。 システムのプログレスバーが100％に達した時—— 私は葉月の顔をまとい、新たな人生を歩み始めたんだ。

I’d just wrapped up a short trip with my daughter, Elara. On the way back, I figured I’d swing by the Hale, our family’s casino, to check in on my son, Cassian. Maybe grab dinner together. I didn’t expect to be mistaken for his latest fling. Correction: not mistaken—accused. Violently. “You think you can just waltz in here like some queen?” she hissed. “I’m the woman Cassian loves! What kind of whore are you? And is this your bastard daughter with him?” She locked us in the basement. No phone. No light. Just concrete walls and the stench of mildew and madness. Then came the fists. She slapped me across the face—again and again—until my skin stung and my ears rang. When that didn’t satisfy her, she pulled a gun and aimed low. The bullet tore through my knee. I bit back a scream, shielding Elara with my body. “You need to die, whore,” she spat. One of her men hesitated, “We should at least tell Mr. Hale first. If we are going to kill these two in his casino.” Lila of course said no. But that man brought Cassian anyway. My son stepped into this dark little room like it was any other Tuesday—until he saw me. His whole body went still. The blood drained from his face. And then, in the smallest, most broken voice I’d ever heard from him, he whispered, “Mom? What are you doing in my basement?”

After I became pregnant, my figure changed, and my face grew puffy. My fiancé began to treat me with a subtle, almost imperceptible sense of disdain. When the baby was five months along, it happened to be Valentine's Day. That day, he finally agreed to take our wedding photos, something I'd been hoping for. But just as we arrived at the bridal studio, his phone rang. "Mike, I just got back to the country. My friends are hosting a gathering, and everyone's bringing their boyfriends. Could you come and pretend to be mine?" It was a few short sentences, yet it completely altered the expression on his face. He turned abruptly, stepping out of the studio with a look of urgency. "Lucy's back. I have to go see her," he said. Hearing those words, a fire of rage ignited inside me, one I couldn't suppress. "For her? You're going to leave me here alone?" I demanded. "Do you even know how long I've been looking forward to today? It's Valentine's Day, and instead of staying with me, you're going to be with her?" His impatience flared visibly as I stood my ground. Without a word, his hand pushed me aside, and he strode out of the shop. "We can take wedding photos any day. I'm the only one Lucy has in this country. I have to go see her," he said. Then, gripping my wrist with alarming force, he shoved me, sending me sprawling to the floor. Without a backward glance, he got into his car and drove off. I felt a sudden, wet heat flowing from my lower abdomen. Pain surged through my stomach, sharp and unbearable, as my consciousness started to fade. A wave of despair and terror consumed me. Someone. Anyone. Please save my baby.
