Death Of An Outsider の小説・ストーリー

My chest tightened painfully. Someone killed them. Someone wanted my family gone. Someone stole my life. I bit down on the inside of my cheek to stop the tears, but they came anyway silent, hot, unstoppable. When I stepped outside hours later, the world was too bright. Too normal. Cars honked, people laughed, the sun reflected off buildings in glittering gold. Everything felt wrong. My family was gone. Someone murdered them. And now the world dared to keep spinning. I walked for hours before heading to my morning shift at the café, numb and drifting like a ghost. After our day’s shift ,Kacey begged me to come out that night. Clara, please! You need a break.

I would be a fool to let them take my money to support someone else. … When I returned home after meeting with the bank president, it was already 11:00 pm. The house was completely dark, and no one bothered to check on me even when I came back so late. They were all fast asleep. I stumbled in the dark while heading back to my room. As soon as I opened the door and tossed my handbag onto the chair, I heard a piercing scream. Surprised, I hurriedly turned on the lights.

He had vanished without a trace.

"Irene! They're our parents! How could you be so cold-blooded now? Even if Mom and Dad were in the wrong, what they did can't possibly be punishable by death, can it? They're your family—" I interrupted him. "You are a family. You all treated me like an outsider and punched and kicked me half to death. Were you thinking of me as a member of your family back then?"

Tears stung my eyes. I was completely naked. I could feel their eyes burn my skin. I wanted to disappear or just die at that moment. "Hmm..." I heard the stranger mutter as if he were in deep thought. "Not too much flesh on her skin, I see." "She eats when she needs to. That's more than she deserves anyway," my uncle replied, his eyes fixed on me. I still didn't know what was going on. But I knew I hated everything...myself, them, this world.
