Bruised

When you are left with regrets and a broken heart.

- In that dark thundery night one thousand questions haunted the innocent mind of a small boy kneeling in a church. Some candles were burning in the run-down building, but he was all alone, praying to a supreme being. He could not know, nobody was there to listen to him. The sins of his early life would never be forgotten.
He has visions of a new world, built from the ashes of the old. He does not dare to reveal them to anyone else. He is a tortured soul, trapped inside his own body full of shame and regret. "What is all this about?"
The small boy did not shed a single tear as he cries: “I hate my life”.

He slowly raises and leaves as a prophet of the world's emptiness.

 

The door was left ajar, he could hear her whimpering and he knew what is happening ,he put his hands over his ears so the voice couldn’t enter inside his head, his eyes shut tight but it was not possible to avoid her voice and he rushed outside the

house ,tears rolling down from his eyes.

The sun slid from horizon, he entered and  inside she was there, Alina was there with a bright smile and a makeup applied to hide her bruise as always which she wasn’t able to conceal, she hugged him saying, “You are the only person I love and you, only you mean the world to me”. He was not able to look in her eyes because every time he saw that bruise on her face he fell apart inside. “I have made a cheese cake …your favorite eat it”, she said. ”Okay” he replied.

In his bed, his mind was haunted by the painful voices of a girl and moving shadows and then memories of his mother came with a warm comfort, his vision was filled with a woman protecting Alina and him from everything that tried to harm them and he was dragged out of his reverie when he realized she was no more.

It became gloomy and the football match was finished, the door of his house was slightly open and he saw an image, immediately he recognized it , she was blubbering ,”no papa please …no please....” and her voice trailed off, a moment of silence and then  a shadow on her ,holding her hands against the bed pushed himself in and she started yowling…he begin to run faintly on an ill-lit street ,crying over her sister fate.

Looking over the stars, finding  a face of her mother  the only person  he was able to talk ,his wet eyes sparkling in the  light of stars ,cold wind making him shiver and the unpleasant wooden park  bench were now only his companions …The first ray of sunshine made him realize that he had spent the whole night in public park, it was time to go home.

He opened the door and then what he saw made he him dizzy, he was bewildered but it was worst reality of his life he has to face, Alina was topless, hanging ...rope tied over her neck  ,her hazel hair concealed her face, her  body was cold and lifeless, she had lost the color of her skin and the smell of her soul was nowhere…he became numb.

He spotted another  figure lying unconsciously  in a corner, his drunk father ….. In furry he took a knife and stabbed him successively till he realized that the walls were painted with his blood and his shirt was redden.

Cursing himself for not defending his sister, execrating himself for running away…. Now he had no one left ,her only family Alina was gone.He summoned himself with leave  to never return again to this house which was once a shelter of bliss… once a home to him.

First let me say that anyone that English is not their native language and they chose to learn to write it has to be very brave, there is nothing harder, I commend you.
Review: You have captured real life, the pains and sorrows, anger and guilt's we all face and deal with. The emotions carry over to your readers which is what all writers wish to accomplish so well done.

Critique: There are a few things that need work "he put his hands on ears so the voice couldn’t enter" you might consider changing it to (hands over his ears)

"he entered inside she was there" entered and inside basically have the same meaning one word after the other like you have it but if you add a word between them (he entered and inside she was there)

There are some places you could add commas to effect the flow and dramatic impact such as "The door was left ajar, he could hear the her whimpering and he knew what is happening he put" first you don't need the word THE between hear and her and with a comma after happening the reader takes a dramatic pause there giving the a second to absorb what they just read (The door was left ajar, he could hear her whimpering and he knew what is happening, he put)

I hope I have not overstepped my bounds and my critique is taken in the spirit I intended, if I offended you in any way then I ask your forgiveness.
