The lights flashed from the front as he covered his eyes with both hands to hide them from exposure. He breathed heavily as he took the hands down slowly. His eyes blinked rapidly as they came in contact with the light again and got adjusted to the brightness that held around them.

The play started with his monologue and got huge applause. It was his introduction to the stage and he impressed every single person present in the auditorium. He played the young Jaiden in the play. Jaiden Jones whose whole life was a misery.
He was deceived and tortured by his people. He went crazy, he was called by names. He was mistreated by people because they failed to understand his pain.
All he ever wanted was to feel loved and cared but all he got was hatred from everyone. People compared him with his father no matter what he did, without realising their journeys were different.
One got everything he asked for while the other didn't get even the smallest thing he craved for. One was grown in a secure environment while the other was left alone to be killed.
They didn't know their stories yet they assumed everything. "Was it right?" He asked while blankly looking at the audience. No one spoke anything.
