The Bittersweet Thorns Of Revenge

Chapter Two: The Return

Tom had enjoyed life without Lom. He had nothing to worry about now that it was the holidays, aside from the annoying problem child that his boy was. He couldn't care less about him, only using him for inspiration for songs. He wished that he could just hammer throw his child way, but unfortunately law enforcement was a thing. Tom was busy editing his Gaza documentary, when he received a message in his email for singing, , from some Kravis Tott guy. Tom didn't pay much attention to it, until he saw the title of the email, "copyright strike". Lom must be failing English, Tom thought to himself. The email contained the following:

lil bro 1v1 me on fortnite

you just jealous that i can make better music than u

Lom had returned! He had a new album called So F*cking Acoustic. He used a different thumbnail, which was extremely random. There seemed to be some blue stage light over himself, he now had long blonde hair, which did not cover up his forehead well. He also now had nails with glitter on them, as well as a Rolex or some watch on one hand, as well as a Louis Vuitton belt that was way too low. But when he looked at the playlist, there were only two songs, but-

No.

The diss tracks were back, and Tom was not on Soudcloud, so he could not take So F*cking Acoustic down, and he did not even know how to. Tom was in utter disbelief. But then he remembered that barely anyone used Soundcloud, so barely anyone would support this account. So, Tom went back to enjoying his holiday in his humble house. The next day, Tom decided to record some songs for his new album, which he did not have a name for yet. He had been deciding what the topic should be for his next song. North and South Korea Conflict, maybe? Or maybe Gun Violence in America? Tom had too many ideas, and just went with re-recording his songs. Tom screamed into the microphone, genuinely thinking he had a chance of representing England at Eurovision 2025 with his vocals, which were unique to say the least. But then Tom Lamore had an idea. What if he made a diss track on Lom? With his amazing vocals, he was sure that he would send Lom into an early retirement. He started writing rapidly, he felt like he could truly knock any artist off of the throne. After writing the most immaculate lyrics he could ever write (emphasis on he) and got to composing the actual song.

He booted up his Thinkpad and searched for random chord progressions on Google and decided on the I-VII-III-II chord progression, which was questionable, but Tom never questions himself. He then span a wheel for what key signature to use, and went with G flat major, which once again, was a questionable choice. He then recorded the drum beat on his PomegranatePhone Model 13.785 Beta Build which he bought from DHGate for £45.68, then paid £7.92 for shipping. He was satisfied with his phone, despite the battery being on the verge of exploding. Tom was very impressed, he was only a maximum of 1 second out of time! A new record for him! Then he strummed his guitar, however,

he did not improve since last time, Tom just assumed it was perfect. Then Tom sang the vocals. Impossible! He had another new personal best! He was only 3 tones out of tune at best, which beat his previous record of 4 tones and a semitone.

Tom was about to upload his flawless diss track (at least in his eyes) when he decided to check if maybe Lom Tamore was back. He searched for Lom Tamore, no result. He was satisfied, but his gut told him to maybe search with the song names. So he searched. Unfortunately for him, Lom did return, but not as Lom Tamore. There was now Lhomas Tattimore. Deep down, Tom knew this would happen. But what worried Tom was how the channel name was more personal. If he took this channel down, would the name of the next get even more personal? How far would this go? There were so many questions, but Tom knew what he had to do. He saw that Lhomas had 3 videos. Perfect. Back to nothing Thomas will go. But then Tom realised that while he could copyright claim the Creep cover, which was incredibly iconic in the school, the 2 diss tracks changed the thumbnail. There was an orange background, with gold text saying "Can't copyright this Tom". Lom's/Lhomas' taunting never stopped. Tom remembered how he had never finished listening to the diss track, and never started listening to the other one.

Tom horribly regretted his decision.

Tom felt ashamed with the songs he had created. He knew he had to take every song down. He even took them down from Spotify and Apple Music, except for his Gaza songs. He made a new channel which was for his final and official songs, at the moment the songs were just demos. He felt like he had to prove to Lhomas that he was a better singer than Lhomas could ever dream to be. So, Tom planned to host a concert outside the Henley Town Hall. He called the concert, "The Redemption & Justice Tour" despite only planing to do one concert. Redemption for how bad the demos were, and Justice for those who could not speak out for themselves. He planned to do this concert on the 19th of October, starting at 8pm. He planned to perform all his re-recorded songs, as well as a few songs from his new album, and most importantly, the diss track. He expected this concert to easily sell out and that he would finally get the respect he deserved.
