Seeking help

Etienne took out a picture of Swetha he had in his wallet. If only his life growing up had been normal, maybe he would be living a life like anyone else now.

If only his mother had not left him, 

If only his father was less absent in his life

If only...

Well, he could not change the past but he could change how his life moves on from now. 

Did he have the guts to make that call?

Etienne had been pacing in his living room staring at the phone each time he walked past it. 

"I'll tell the psychiatrist everything from the start," he thought, except the part about eating Swetha. 

He had found the psychiatrist on a website online. He would make an anonymous call and find out how it works and if he was convinced, he might take that next big step to get rid if this monster inside him. 

His heart still hurt from what he had done to Swetha and he was determined not to hurt Nandhini, but more than anything he wanted to live a normal life.
