The Black Teeth

Author's Overview & Explanation

Hello! I've done a quick side segment to regard the past few parts and the ones coming up, as it may be confusing, and needs explanation.

So we see Jasmine and Wes wanting to drug Clyde with the Oxyfane as the plan to obtain his cane. We see Clyde go out in search for new members, but ends up finding his sister in which he brings back. During the part in which Clyde and Jasmine share a moment, Wes interrupts and gets heated. Clyde ends up chasing Wes in which they begin an argument, leading to Wes pulling the trigger on Clyde.

So what actually happened, is when Jasmine wanted to drug Clyde, she had already drugged him. So when he goes out, he is actually asleep and unconscious and dreaming of all of that and never actually died. When he got shot in the dream and he loses his vision, he regains it in the form of him waking from his unconscious state. This would explain why Clyde's personality changes so quickly and to a whole different way.

For an authors POV, it brings a way to experiment with new forms of background history. The story of what happened to Clyde as a child is true, but ties it into the story in a way he doesn't just tell someone what happened. It brings a way of using the old, "parents are dead" story in a more interesting sense. So from the story perspective. Clyde is waking from his unconscious, in which he remembers the events of his sister, who got lost, his mother, who died in the raid of his house, and his father, who supposedly got taken or killed during the raid of the house.

Background information is really important for characters to learn their personality and why they do certain action, etc. So for an author, it was a different spin on how to incorporate it. I hope this quick part helps you understand the previous and nexts coming parts of the story. Please feel free to send feedback, suggestions, edits, etc. Enjoy the rest of your day!
