Went over to a friend's place. Was 6. Friend and brother were playing in the basement with hatchets (yeah...). Big house, family of 4, must have had decent income, the place was nice.

Anyway so they were chipping tiny wood pieces when i came in, like fire starter stuff. Eventually one of them started playing with an old baby cradle made of wood. He was just kinda touching the paint with his axe making little marks on the top end of one of the main sticks of the frame on it.

I think one of them dared me to hit it. And i said "we can do that?" And they said yes. Somewhere along the line, i somehow understood that this was basically a junk thing to be destroyed for firewood. Either they told me that directly, or i came to the conclusion after being told to hit it again here and there. Anyway i was having a blast, i'd never chopped wood before.

I remember them laughing and being excited the whole time. So i thought "damn i'm just having a blast here, and so are they".

When we went back upstaires, one of them said something to their mom, who ran downstairs and screamed her head off in disbelief. This thing had been in the family for like 7 generations or something. I just remember standing in the doorway of their home, with their mom screaming at me and cursing me to hell. My own parents never screamed at me in my life, nevermind telling me how much a horrible piece of shit child i apparently am, and how i was born to be scum and go to hell and suffer and all that. All of this happening, and scaring the shit out of me, while all their kids... My friends, watched on. Only two of them knew what was really going on. The rest of them now thought of me as the biggest asshole.

So right then and there i was just destroyed in all kinds of ways. I remember later on i had it in my mind or had been mislead into thinking that one of their sisters was my girlfriend. Shit i even had a picture of her in a little frame back home. I was mad in love (8yr old love) thinking we were gunna be together for life etc. Then one day, i go there, playing outside with these assholes who were still my friends somehow. They tell me she was inside the house and wanted to talk to me, so go in, she tells me something like "you know... It's not like were actually going out you know?" And i get this huge lump in my throat and say "ah... Okay..." She said she was sorry. I just remember saying "it's okay" and walking back out the door.

Her brother calls me from behind a car and says "come see this!"

Be then punched the shit out of my stomach. I don't remember much of what was said after that. I was quite some ways from home, don't remember if i stayed there or walked anyway even if my parents werenT home.

Anyway. Fuck these people.
