I go to school everyday with my friends. I wake up at 5AM so I have time to do my hair.

I wake up at 1AM everyday. I sneak out through the window. There is this guard in my home that I don't know.

My name is Yugi Muto.

He grabs my arms and keeps me trapped in my home. He claims he's "worried" and that "I'm injured" but HES LYING!! HE WANTS TO TRAP ME INSIDE!!

My name is Yugi Muto.

The guard is wrinkled and says my name like he knows me. He's lying. It's a trick.

My friends look at me funny. I don't like looking at them.

Sometimes when I wake up I'm a new version of me I haven't met and I don't remember where I am and I think. Like. I belonged somewhere far far away and got trapped here as a form of c o s m i c p u n i s h m e n t. Like. A sinner taken to the slaughter. And I stop sleeping and suddenly I realise these people I call my family are people I don't know OR love. But that's cruel right. And I wake up not remembering days. Weeks at a time. And suddenly the house I thought was mine feels like a prison and when I look in the mirror my face it changes every time and I feel sick and have to look away because that's not me.

And I begin fearing that I don't recognise myself in any of my memories and I dont recognise the friends the me I see in my memories fought so hard to get and I realise that I REPLACED HIM. I AM THE REPLACEMENT. And so I try to gamble my life away and I fill "my" body with meds and caffeine and I pity the "ME" I replaced so much that I run around and s l a u g h t e r everyone who ever hurt him because he deserves to rest in peace. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually dead and this is my afterlife but haha.

That has to be a lie right. Right. Please. Tell me I'm right. Who the fuck am I now? Him? M-

Why can't anyone just give me an answer.

To who I am. To why I am.

It's dark.

I'm scared.

My name isnt Muto Yugi.

But if that's not me..
