There is a darkness that lurks inside of me. The evil that runs through my veins is a constant reminder of the ruthless killer I once was. 

But somehow I've been changed. I'm not that person anymore. Unlike before, I can feel remorse for my actions even though guilt doesn't erase the past that still haunts me. 

I've been given a chance to lead a normal life. A chance to be a son, a brother and maybe more.

My name is Mason. My future is undecided.

I don't know if it will last. All I know for certain is that none of it will even matter if I can't escape my past.
