My names Lee Attaboy and life hasn't allways been great for me. Infact shit really hit the fan and covered my world in crap around the time I shot my Dad.

Don't think of me as a murderer I by no means meant to do what I did.
It's the country. These things happen.
Hunting was my dad's and I main source of income ,its what we did and we were good.

As well as having a kumara feild we were also completely self sufficient ,yep that's right Self-sufficiency,frugality and good old green living.

Which is why on my 15 birthday it was completely normal for us togo hunting.
Some boar maybe or a deer if we were lucky.

I took off towards the stream. Dad towards the hills.
"first kills the winner" was the last thing he'd said to me as he flicked the top of his cap and took off up the hill. Knowing the stream was the most likely of places for a good kill.
I thought i saw a deer in the thick dense bush .

Excited or maybe too stoned I took aim and fired.
My finger pulled the trigger before my brain realized it was to late.

Dad wasn't wearng his florescent vest ,allthough he did have it on before .
I couldnt quite come to terms with what had happened. I received no charges, I was underage and deeply effected by what I did.

I went into a kind of depression a deep dark place where I no longer spoke and at the court's order I was sent to the city to live with my mum .

My mother who had left me to pursue her modeling slash acting career . Who left before I was even potty trained and hardly a blur in my memories.
