Character's Story: Toshiro has only been in this body for 18 years…eighteen long years…. As far back as he could remember he has never be allowed to smile or be happy to any extent, but that wasn’t a big problem, he never had any REASON to feel happiness. The chain of misfortunes started the second that Toshiro was born, and maybe even a little before that. His father, Wade, was a very violent man who accidentally got his mother, Hana, pregnant in a motel on a Saturday night. For the first seven years of his life Toshiro lived in a crappy apartment in a run-down part of town with his mother and his father who was nothing more than a hazard to him and Hana. Whenever Wade was unhappy or drunk(which, btw is like 90% of the time) he would physically abuse Toshiro and his mom. Although Hana always did her best to protect Toshiro from harm she could not call the cops because she, herself was a drug addict. Toshiro was told by his mom to never, EVER smile or laugh in front of anyone, Toshiro doesn’t remember why but once when he was younger and happier he started laughing with his mom in an ice cream shop and he turned into a chocolate sundae and it took forever to figure out how to turn him back. And thus, Toshiro’s grades dropped at school, he made no friends with anyone and the bullies at school always chose him as their first choice to beat up on. Then, one night when Toshiro was nine years old, Wade came home at two in the morning with a pistol in one hand and a beer bottle in the other, it was no doubt that he was drunk. He (wade) went into Hana’s room and dragged her out of bed, they started shouting at each other without noticing that Toshiro was watching through the crack in the slightly open door. Then, all that Toshiro remembers is the sound of a gun shot, police sirens and riding in a police car with a cop and pulling away from his home with someone one that radio saying, “poor boy…he saw his dad shoot his mom right in front of him…” For the next nine years he lived with foster parents who were very kind to him but he still never smiled for them. The only time that he ever smile was in his room when no one was home and then eventually he never smiled at all. Now Toshiro is eighteen years old and attending his junior year in high school, life is as miserable as ever but his secret is safe and he is just beginning to think that he might leave without anything getting out. But all this is turned upside down when he’s getting one of his “daily beatings” but the bullies were beaten away by a girl named Mika who seems to be new to his school and also happened to be in her junior year. Now it’s gonna be a real challenge leaving school with his secret intact with Mika following him around for the last year and a half of school and trying to make him smile… Comments: wahh!! i hope it's not late! i didn't notice wat day it was until the 24th and i wrote the story and did the picture and i was gonna type it up on sunday but my dad planned a 'family outing' w/o telling me so i'm doing this right after we got home at like 11:30. i really liked this month's contest cuz i like this idea of a story that i came up with, i think i'll make it into a full story, like with a ending n stuff. well. to those of u who accually read it, thanks a ton! and those of u who didn't i don't blame ya, i wouldn't have read this either. :p |
