Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review!!
Anyway let's get right to it,
I was an outcast, that no one cared about, or no one needed, or even both. They were jealous of me. Was it because I was different, because I had powers? I could feel the little sweat beads running down my head onto my chin. My eyes welled up, and it became hard to see the Linden-Burg Orphanage. I hated that place with a fiery passion. I had stayed there for seventeen years, and seventeen years another family passed by my room, leaving me.
Now eighteen I was to old too stay there anymore. I was to become either a staff, or leave.
I left, why should I want to work at the very place that had kept me captive for so long. I sat down on the curb, eating a loaf of bread, crying. What was I doing. I had to be strong, I had to take care of my self. I had powers, I..I could control energy, I could read peoples minds, and I could even control the minds I wanted to. I stood there, dumbfounded, not able to breathe.
Well that one is ever so slightly on the nose and a little bit too exposition heavy here. Its a decent sort of start that we've got here and it does sort of work, but there's a bit of an issue there when it comes to the opening because while the idea of this orphanage and the effects of being in it that you try to show in this person works out fairly well...the whole scenario ends up more than a bit watered down by that random list of rather powerful abilities because now suddenly it all seems a bit overpowered and you wonder how this person got to this point in time in the first place.
All these years, I could have controlled the minds of the people who made me stay at that horrible orphanage. But I didn't. Was It out of ignorance, or was I just to good of a person to do something so sinister? I guess if I could take one thing that I learned from that place and applied it to my life, It was not to be selfish. So I guess I did the right thing, but now was not the time to be thinking of that. However, I couldn't feel sorry for my self. I must leave, and stay strong. I had to live my life!
Hmm...well, this is an interesting premise here, but I feel like even with that ending, you don't quite sort the emotions out as well as you should. Making this person sound so powerful without really getting into how they are that powerful and how they didn't manage to escape using said powers really cuts things short for this piece here and things end up just not working as well as they potentially should. I think perhaps a second look is needed here in that sense.
Aaaaand that's it for this one.
As always remember to take what you think was helpful and forget the rest.
Stay Safe
