1. Generally people abandoning me when things get tough.
2. Don't really want to discuss it because I'm partially ashamed of it, but I'll just say that I don't go to Boston anymore. The PD around there has a personal bone to pick with me.
3. Betrayal of trust in general.
HMM Now I'm really interested about what happened, are you sure you don't want to share.......I'll keep it a secret I promise
My first and third answers are related in that they led to my second.
I emphasize those values because they were things that I lacked. Now the people I hurt wish to pay retribution.
You're free to fill in the blanks and imagine the details.
My imagination: Scolar Visari an orphan from the age of 3.5, taken into Boston state care at
The Orphanage. This compound was not to contain the young Visari for long.
During in one of his many breakouts from the grounds he stumbled across the local police station. Now aged six he was indulging himself in fantasies of where his life would take him, or where he would it. Upon entering the precinct he immediately gained an affinity for the station along with those who staffed it. An absurd selection range of doughnuts bolstered the already
healthy foundations of his desired career path.
The receptionist at the station took pity on the orphan and his story, through this he was allowed to have a tour of the station followed up by half a days experience of riding in a cop car before being dropped off back at The Orphanage. Visari asked the officer "Could I join the force, go deep undercover? Like Starsky and Hutch?!"
To which the cop joked "Sure kid you go deep undercover in there," pointing at the Orphanage, "might be awhile till you get a car though. See ya kid."
In the young mind of Visari, he pictured how the long days watching Starsky and Hutch, and practising driving manoeuvres in the yard behind the wheel of the orphanage's go-cart would pay off. Not to mention the many arrests he carried out on other orphans, whose offensives ranged from littering the ground to anti-social behaviour during in story time (which included crying).
No one could have imagined the hot bed of crime that lay within The Orphanage Walls (Sorry Miami).
First day on the job and already it showed just how bad things were going to be, The Orphanage carers were showing rated 12 movies to minors, ages 3-11, those sick bastards were going to pay! Visari recorded the crime, including the word bastards. Even though he was unsure of the meaning, he knew it was said in such a piercing tone it could only help bring the offenders to cold bosom of justice.
Over the weeks many more incidents occurred, the only thing that had got him seriously worried was in a late night patrol when he followed the sounds of loud sobbing and screams into the library. The view through the book case was surely proof of vampires, or at least some kind of grievous assault. Vasari found his presence on the scene to be unwelcome, especially by the victim. Madness! After confronting the man who had pinned the Headmaster's wife against the wall, he was told to get lost by both persons of whom the event concerned. Moments like these made Visari question if the world was ready for his standard of law keeping, as it was shameful to leave the situation unresolved and audibly still continuing.
The monthly crime reports the Boston PD got from Vasari went unanswered, surely the police were just biding their time, accumulating data and evidence to allow them to make a crack down. Surely.
Two years have passed, they have left Vasari feeling isolated, cut off with no message of when help will arrive. Given these dire circumstances Vasari has developed a harsh and unforgiving addiction to gummy bears. Simply put, you melt down a 5 0z bag of gummy bears then quickly drink drink. Known as the Big B, the Big Bear.
The timing of the harrowing addiction could be no worse, the orphanages darkest secrets were slowly coming to light around are
undercover agent.
No one could fail to notice the change in the staff around the orphanage, the once tidy and semi-respectful staff who had once radiated at least a past presence of youth now were replaced with thin dishevelled layabouts with rotting teeth. Life in the orphanage had once been seen as a partly inflated balloon in our young agent's eyes, constant and not of the extremes, now however it was in a cycle of being deflated then suddenly with no notice, back to over inflated. A *pop* would no doubt be the end. A sense of unease had crept in, both in the dead of night and the stark light of day. Only gummy bears could fight of the sheer lassitude that emanated from the place.
Worse still were the disappearances that occurred. Most were of the naughty children, but the quiet children also seemed to be snatched away. Vasari wouldn't have thought twice about children leaving for foster homes, it just seemed odd for the troublesome to be picked for foster care.
Then one night Vasari discovered the big reveal. It started with an urge to do a late night patrol, quite an impulse given that he hadn't done one within the last year due to lack of feedback from the force. Plus nightly trips down to the kitchen for access to the microwave had taken over (gummy bears don't melt themselves). Everything was going as expected until hearing one of the main double doors in the hallway open. Sticking to the shadows to see who would be coming in at this time ended up paying off. The staff member who emerged had no worry in the world as they traipsed down the hall and took the sharp right into the kitchen. Vasari heard a door shut in the kitchen as he followed in pursuit.
The kitchen was empty, and with only one entrance the sound of the door shutting went unaccounted for. Vasari was sure it was not the sound of a worktop being shut, but given the person he was pursuing had vanished, hiding in a kitchen unit was not out the question. Seeing the microwave diverted his thought for he wished he had had the foresight to bring down gummy bears. Expanding on that thought he wondered if hallucinations were a side effect on missing a hit of Big B, "Don't be silly." he thought reassuringly, "It's not like I am sniffing sherbet".
It hit him right then, the only door in here was right in front of him, the walk in-freezer. Readying his slingshot and a line stolen right out of corny crime sitcom, Vasari entered, "Time to cool off..."
The supposed
perpetrator was no where in sight.
Left alone in the freezer he started to reflect on where thing had gone wrong. Unbeknown to him it had just gone as wrong as it was ever going to go. At the door the realisation hit hard, the freezer can't not be opened from this inside. Surviving wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for a diet consisting of gummybears. Trapped in a freezer surrounded by cans of "not-mysterious meat" he faded away, convinced that the withdrawal symptoms from gummy bears had to be hallucinations not the sweats.
Police raided the Orphanage the next day, because of anonymous tips that were being mailed over the last few years. They found a meth lab hidden under the walk in freezer and the body of a 8 year old boy who had be abandoned.
(The last half of the "story" was going to make sense, but then I looked at the time)
