The Journal of Michael Afton

01/04/2020

Hello, it's Michael again. My older brother is being a bit doucher than normal. He is a dick, but he basically raised me after father withdrew into himself and mother "left" we all know she's dead. I love my father, but he was very absentee throughout my childhood, after what happened to Elizabeth. Vincent, my older brother, did his best, but he was a child himself, and felt it necessary to torment me in public. He was the sweet parent figure brother at home, or really anytime nobody was really paying attention, unless his friends were there. They were the real bullies, not Vinnie. They convinced him to do what they did on my birthday that one year, although in their defence, it was just a prank gone way wrong. My father promptly killed Vinnie's friends, and beat Vinnie's ass. I watched as a ghost, Vinnie kept saying that he was sorry and he didn't mean to. I believe him, he loved me and would never intentionally cause physical harm to me. Just the psychological harm that father made him do. Father cared in his own way, he never raised a hand to anyone in his immediate family, until Vinnie unintentionally killed me. Father also disowned Vinnie, so Vinnie changed his last name to Bishop. I still talk to him a lot, father doesn't approve, but Vinnie is my brother, no matter what father says.
(Love you too, little brother-Vinnie)
I have to go, father needs me for something, and I know what happens if you keep him waiting too long now. So I'll see y'all later.
