Roses and Skulls

Starting Anew

It had only been a year after college. But Offender was already on his own. He bought himself a medium-sized house with a perfect backyard for making a beautiful garden. For the furniture and décor, he went for a dark floral aesthetic. It suited his mood most of the time. Offender only needed a month to make his first house a home. Naturally, he was still having girls over almost every night. After all, some things never changed. For better or worse in this case, who knew? Offender was the best. He was the master. With a little effort, he could change just about any girl's mind. It wasn't like she would have much of a mind left to remember anything the morning after.

After settling in, Offender spent some time working for a small local flower shop. His expertise took him to the top in no time. But he hadn't been planning to stay long. It was only a stepping stone. Once he had what he wanted, he referred a friend to take his place and quit. Offender's next adventure had him walking into a casino toward the city limits. While the red-light districts were more his style for a good night, this worked just as well. Offender liked the classy and fancy vibes. He spent a lot of time there, from Poker and Blackjack to Slots and Roulette. And never left alone. Places like this were great for picking up ladies with more than just money to rob. These gems knew how to talk and entertain a man. To his surprise, Offender came close to letting one or two of them go unscathed. But the story always ended the same.

Now that he was on his own, Offender had a lot of catching up to do. He had a list of things he wanted to do. Items were crossed off and added as his new life began. He had always had many ambitions and steadily been working on them. With a lot ahead of him, Offender set out on the first big project. And, of course, he was looking forward to having a lot of fun along the long journey ahead of him.
