Tom has been living in England all his life and it has never been terribly dangerous. Will that change now that he meets his new roommate Tord?
------------------
Has he killed anyone every since he's come to this dreary country? No, not yet, but h...
Edit: I didn't know anything about Norway so now it's just Tord keep cards to himself and pretending he can't speak English. Edit edit: I updated the picture :3
My outlook in life has always been grim. I felt dull and bored. I never understood why. My parents were concerned when I was five and still not smiling.
They took me to a doctor and he didn't give them answers. Physically I was fine, I was just apathetic.
My worried mother thought that I might be lonely and decided to get me a pet. I did not play with him. For some reason he stayed a way from me when I got near. He was dragon lizard and big one too.
It was an accident, it really was. I fed him like usual when I noticed his heat lamp wouldn't turn on, I tried all I could. It wouldn't work, so I tried to find an alternative until I got a new one.
How was I suppose to know that you cant put inside animals on the roof?
I looked a way for a few minutes and find a big bird eating it.
I didn't cry, because I wasn't sad. I simply called my dad to come up stairs and when he saw my lizard, he told me to go my mom and tell her to come up here and I stay in the kitchen.
....That didn't feel like it wasn't anything other than another day to me.
---------------------
My teen years weren't the best. I wasn't very popular, I was known but not liked. Since I wasn't friendly looking, no matter how polite I was I barely made friends.
I also lost a pet bird, I left the cage open and it flew out the door. Flying a round the house and I hit it with a broom to make it stop. My dad sighed and told me not to say anything to mom.
--------------------------
I'm an adult now and I've decided that it's time to change things up. My parents aren't with me and living alone in this cold country isn't all that fun. The food is good, but I don't have any excuse not to visit so often.
Besides, I want to start fresh with people who don't know me.
So when I move to England to a lesser known town, I searched for a place to stay. I practiced my English, it didn't sound so good though but it was enough. I want to stay here temporarily until I find a place where I could make a name for myself.
While walking a round town square, I see an ad posted up on a window. It says:
We have three occupied rooms and one empty room, two bathrooms and a communal living room/ kitchen. We have a cat, if you have a cat allergy then sorry. If you have a dog, sorry one of our roommates have a dog allergy.
We do background checks and a few rules to make sure no one fights. We all agreed on these rule, but we are lenient and flexible. You don't have to pay rent, but it would be nice if you chipped in.
We all know how to cook so we can help you learn!
We don't mind female roommates, but we'd like to have a male roommate since we are all guys and don't want our new roommate to feel unsafe.
I read the rest to myself and decided that they sounded nice. I hope this is the right choice because crashing at my pen pales home with his stoic wife is suffocating, for him at least. I should ease up the atmosphere by leaving him alone with his wife and let them be affectionate with each other.
I didn't get love, not really. I understood at a logical level but never got interested in it at an emotional level. Everyone thought I was strange, but that was fine. I have my parents unconditional love as they tried everything to make me smile. It never worked, but they didn't give up. My mother does mention once in a while that she still worries if I am happy. But I do my duty as her child to reassure her even if it's a lie.
I'm either apathetic or angry. Really angry.
I get angry when I think about how I don't connect with other people, how I don't understand myself.
Why can't I be normal? I want to be normal. Why am I here, if I can't be happy?
