Year 2000 in a small village named Ruhiira that lies in the southwestern part of Uganda 40 km from the nearest city named mbarara,
A 6 year old boy named Roger Kizito is seen walking from school Heading home but to what seems like a long distance walk, it takes Rogers one and a half hour to get to school every week,plus all the chores that he has to do since his useless lost brother David Kizito who was 13 years older than him, spent most his adolescent life drinking his life away.
Local alcohols were his type of brew as well as being famous throughout the village for his aggressive behavior when he gets drunk , scaring little kids, getting a message that David fought with some person or even David was beat up by som village mob was something normal throughout this small community.
Roger's lived in a small hut with 3 Aunties, his,mom, his grandfather, and one of his uncles, Roger's mother sold vegetables she plucks from her small in size every now and then just to support the extended sort of family she has.
"Rogers," call out Roger's mom voice raised trying to instill the urgency of the call as she called two times more, Rogers who came home in like 30 minutes ago, came out galloping from his tiny room that he shares with his mom heading outside where his Mom was, "here help me out with this(speaking native Language)" said his mom and by who now needed help a bit, to finish cooking the daily family dinner
Rogers Took over and started stirring with sweat the huge 'maize made of' food famously known as Ugali in Swahili language a spoken mostly by neighboring countries Tanzania and Kenya that are just one lake away, Drops of sweat dripping in the big bowl made of clay, but Rogers doesn't even seem to notice as he keeps stirring up with both hands
After a while the food was ready and As they all ate up and finished eating, The family usually gathers around listening to tales, From their 90 year old Grandfather, Patrick Kizito, who always urged them to be proud of the village's culture and norms in a thousand ways he said.
"You should go to sleep now Roger you have school tomorrow"(speaking native language, said Roger's mom, Miss Veronica kizito, Roger didn't utter a word, and his silence probably meant he wasn't feeling sleepy and he didn't want to go to bed at the particular time, "Vero Let him stay a little while"grandpa Patrick Jumped to his defense
"He can't pa,and you know that"replied Veronica, "Roger listen to your ma" added one of the aunties, Roger got up head feeling irked heading in their small hut straight to his room, that had a small mattress with no table to hold it up, and sharing it with his mother.
Few minutes passed and Roger was still Sleepless, tossing and turning around, eyes fixed staring at weird mug positioned few inches from the mattress, Thinking of something that has bothered him for quite a while that has put him and still puts him in Extensive psychological torture that no 6 year old kid deserves to experience
At 5years old, His brainless moronic drunk brother(David) got home drunk as always of course, no one was home at that time, so he saw it as a perfect fit of a moment to molest, his defenseless Five year old brother, His mother got back home caught him in the act and splashed a bowl of hot porridge that was boiling up outside all over David's back, but somehow the bastard only got away with a huge scar all over his back,Roger always has memories and flashbacks of this horrible moment in his life and even as a kid he knows that it's going to taunt him for as long as he's alive
6:00am Roger or Rogers is seen in his way to school again on a beautiful morning, passing through hills and small forest hills before getting to school at 7:15, being late for over 15 minutes or 30 in some other days
Rogers was a always a quiet boy, an introvert we would say, picked on by most kids in this local Ruhiira primary school, he had no friends and lived a quite lonely life
Confusion too, as he seemed to like, boys more than he does girls forced him more to be on the other side of the social world for he couldn't have a social life in a community that doesn't understand who he actually is.
7hours later Rogers was on his way heading home after a long day at school, and as he stepped outside the gate a group of 11 boys surrounded him,laughing and teasing him, "hey kid you think you're too smart huh?"(speaking native language) said one of the boys who was huge with enough kilos to feet the qualities of a bully, "I don't want any trouble" replied Rogers, "but we do stupid" replied one of the boys followed by laughter by all of them
As he tried to push them out of his way, they blocked him out,"where do you think you're going,questioned the bully like boy staring at Roger's tiny little face, that fits with his short height, "Grab him" the bully ordered, the rest of the kids grabbed him and dragged at the back side of the school where the small school playground is located
"Take off his shorts" he screamed,The bully,while the rest of the crowd cheers as they force his shorts down, While this time tears dripping from his face with no crying voices coming out of him, "you think your tough huh?" The bully asked him(who's name is Oscar by the way), Roger not replaying or saying anything rather than just staring, "He thinks he's tough!!" Said Oscar with a Facetious laughter coming out of him with the rest of the crowd laughing hard too, "you think you tough kid"asked oscar again with a minimal smile this time, "Tie him up boys"he shouted
As the rest of the boys cheered, they took him and tied him up a tree legs up head down with no pants and everyone stood there laughing.
"Hey stop"a condemning sound from near was heard and luckily it was a teacher who was came running from the other side as the rest of the eleven students ran away from the scene, as the teacher got there, all the kids had gotten away except of course for Roger who was hanging from The tree up side down
The teacher took him,down and put the kid in his pants, that were thrown just near the tree after they were taken off him earlier. The teachers name was Fredrick Obasa
"What's your name?"asked the teacher(fredrick), "Roger" replied rogers who went into tears immediately after say that, and as the teacher hugged him as a consolation sign, he asked no more questions
He walked the Roger to his home for he thought it was the wisest thing to do and safe after what happened, and as they were a few steps away from home, "i can go home from here"said rogers, "are you sure?" Asked mr fredrick, "yes thank you for what you did for me today"replied Rogers.
"Okay, but listen you can't let these kids treat you this way, do you know the names of who did that to you?", "Yes, some of them" rogers replied, " I want you to give me all their names tomorrow okay?", "yes sir" replied roger
"And Do not lets these kids treat you like this okay? I repeat Do not let them, they're cowards with their own insecurities thinking they are taking their anger on a little, while in reality they're just maximizing it"said the teacher, " be strong" he finished and as rogers nodded he turned heading home
"His brain activity had been beeping like crazy i wonder what he's thinking" said Dr Said Dr James kimono head of the INVERSE operation in uganda who was now staring at Roger kizito who's head is also hooked on this weird machine inside the weird glass made of room, "usually most of the subjects think of their worst darkest pasts when that happens" replied Dr Janet lema who was standing next to James, "Yes yes I know all that, but don't you ever wonder like what exactly are their darkest fears?, like this one right now", "One always wonders James, one always does" said Janet
"Any Updates on the others?" Asked James,
Janet swiftly pulling out an iPad like device, scrolling up and down and replying, "we've got the rest of them, Niteka limbu asian of Japanese origin, Rogers kizito of course, Edward Mulumbu, aand the dad of course, all except roger again(scoffs) are in the cells and will be getting prepped for analysis in a few" said Janet
"Thanks for the update Jane"said Dr James as he walked out of the room
