By E. Mendell

Hiroshima, Sinister History. The second story in the collection of short stories. Hiro and Soul's adventure continues in the next fascinating adventure. After letting Soul into his home, Hiro finds her overwhelming curiosity to be a problem. With pressing questions about his past, Hiro is in danger of revealing too much to Soul in too little time.
Another deep secret shows its ugly face one morning and Hiro is forced to face the darkness of his past once again. No escape is possible and Hiro realizes that he can no longer exist as he has. A normal life was not an option any longer. His past was unraveling at the seams and he was in danger of getting himself and Soul killed for it. The incident in the underground parking lot was nothing compared to what Hiro knew was coming next. He is stuck with the difficult decision of what to do about his past, and Soul. He realizes he can't get rid of either, nor can he escape the fate that has been dealt to him. The only thing he can do is make a way to avoid them longer and buy himself more time to get everything straight in his mind. But will new challenges force him to a rash decision in the end? Things are going faster than he knows.

I am a Fiction Author that writes what I would love to read. My interests in writing are many and I take time to write and experiment with all types of genres and book sizes. Anywhere from short stories to thick novels, Horror to Science Fiction, I've written all kinds. I've been writing since I was able to put words together and my first published book (Eysheus Saga, book one, Blood River) Is the beginning of my greatest work so far. I was home schooled and with my free time studied and advanced my writing abilities. My stories have been sitting and waiting for the chance to see the light of day so here I hope to accomplish that.Writing is my reason to live. Ink is my blood, inspiration is the oxygen I breath. I hope all readers will see that in every story I publish here and above all I hope my stories are enjoyed.

- Sinister History -

The dream came again. It is of a woman crying. She was lying in a puddle of blood with a deep wound in her stomach. Don’t come! She cried, her voice cracking and hollow. Her hands were covering her face and the floor around her was speckled in what appeared to be stars. They sparkled beautifully as the girl began to scream. Don’t come! Don’t come!

No! Hiro shouted, pounding on the glass wall that separated him from the woman. Anna! No! I’m sorry. I’m sorry! He hammered on the glass, but it wouldn’t break. The dream faded and Hiro felt himself being shook back and forth briskly. His golden eyes flew open and he stared into the silver eyes of Soul.

What’s happened? Soul asked, looking at Hiro in fear. You were talking in your sleep. It was scary.

Hiro stared at Soul’s silver eyes. Her long blond hair was a frizzy mess and she wore the same white and blue polka dot pajamas she wore the other day. Hiro stared at her. What… What did I say? He whispered in blank fear.

Well, said Soul, sitting back as Hiro propped himself up on his elbows. You were practically shouting ‘I’m sorry’ and you also kept saying a girl’s name.

Hiro felt caught. He placed a hand over his eyes. Anna, he murmured.

Yeah, that was the name, said Soul, nodding. Who is she?

Hiro sat up, leaning forward and placing his head in his hands. His black hair was a mess and the silver strands could hardly be seen. She was the last person whose name I learned, he whispered. And… it was my fault that she died.

~ One ~

It was a beautiful summer morning. The day after Hiro saved Soul from being taken captive by a man named Enimito. He had trapped her in an underground parking lot. Hiro still wasn’t sure how Enimito had known about Soul. All he knew was that he had saved Soul by chance. Because of her illness, Soul’s heart had begun to fail. Hiro had had little time to get her out of the parking lot and stop the attack. She was now living in his house and knew a little about what Hiro was.

An experiment. He was a weapon with no feelings other than fear, pain, and sorrow. Hiro was more machine than man, but he wouldn’t tell Soul more than that. The young girl was already in enough trouble. With her heart sickness plaguing her and now her unexpected involvement with Hiro’s history, she was in danger. Hiro opened his house to her, since Soul was an orphan, but mostly so he could guard her. He hadn’t told her this.
