The Life Of Tom
Tom sat in the corner of his room shivering sorting through some papers he'd printed off this morining.
Around him lay his belongings an old teddy bear which he'd mutilated in his fits of rage. It had belonged to his younger Sister Leah untill they were playing pretend and he felt attracted to it, it's once light brown fur, blue eyes and soft texture. Now it lay in the beam of light that filtered though the aged curtains moth eaten ears that looked like they'd been torn off then regratfully sown back into place with the thread of guilt. It's once brown fur was now a dirty black with ink drawings and symbols, fake blood from the previous Hallow-ween, blue pen inscribed the symbols of the devil.
On his wall was a cork board covered with page after page of infomation on his favourite topic, lyrics from songs that had special "meanings", pictures, photographs, newspaper cuttings and an aray of objects that were pinned into place, one being the left arm of his desicrated teddy.
Tom stood up nad walked slowly through the dim light of his room to his bed were he sat down, looking down at his clock, it was 12:00 noon, he'd get lunch in a minuet, he open the top draw of his bed side table and began rummageing through its content, past porno magazines, condoms that were as thin as celophane due to age, several books, a lighter which he took out and place by his side still he develed deeper into the draw untill he reached what he was looking for.
He took his diary from the back of the draw and opened the lock. It was one of those pink girly diaries that has a little lock and key to get into it, but this one wasn't pink anymore, the feathery lock was burned and the covers where graffittied with drawings, symbols, lyrics and quotes. Opening it up he began to read, fact after fact about how President Kennedy was assasinated, pictures of the insident covered a two page spread, fact pages about all the different weapons that could have been used and drawing that he'd drawn about the insident. This was his priced posetion. He never let anyone see it accept himself, he tiggled with excitment when he ran his fngers over the pages reading his oun investigations and conclusions, he turned the pages slowly makeing sure he didn't leave anything out. He reached a fresh, creased page. He walked over to his cork board and found some lyrics he'd been meaning to stick into his book which he assured himslef were some of the causes of the assasination.
He cut each sing out carefully humming the tunes ti each one as he stuck them in adn wrote a short explination about each one, he looked t the clock again, 3:21, he'd missed lunch again Mummsie wouldn't be happy.

He closed his diary and carefully placed it right at the back of the cluttered drawer, taking care not to let anything fall out, once it was back in its place, he covered it with the condoms and picture of his odler sister marie. but the picture was specail to tom, as it had been taken by him with out marie knowing. He smiled as he closed the drawer and made his way over to the door, not noticing that hed left out the fragile little bodies of dead animals he'd kept under his bed.
Emerging from the dingy room, tom was dazzled by the day time sun as it blinded him, he regained his sight and made his way down the stairs, It was time for him to pick up his little sister.
He was greeted happily by the dark haired three year old with a warm hug. Tom always picked leah up from school and took her home. She was some what excited today and tom knew why.
"are we gonna play yuor game when we get home? huh tom are we?"

"No...not today" Tom snapped, he hadn't had any sleep the night before making him very grouchy indeed...."and don't f***around with me either, I'm not feeling very well" he lied
"ok....." she said in a disapointed tone, "what's for dinner?" she enquired as her stomach growled at her,
"whatever you want" he spat
"ok" The two of the walked the short distance home.
Tom went into the kitchen and slamed the oven door, blocking out any sound of Leah running up the stairs ans stopping to find Toms bedroom door open. He threw a pizza in the oven and came out the kitchen
"IT'S PIZZAHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!!!!" he shouted form the bottom of the stairs, bbut got no reply, he couldn't hear Leahs music either. Puzzled he slowly climbed the stairs each step was a threat that she'd gone into his room.
Noone went in his room, only he new what covered his walls and lay under his bed, if she'd seen it she'd tell Mummisie for sure.
"Leah?" he called but again to no avail, he turned the corner and saw his door wide open "*****"
Tom ran into his room and saw her standing in the middle of the room shocked, tears were welling in her eyes and in her arms was Teddy, her beloved bear that she thought she'd lost last year, mutilated, dead, filthy and it was all Tom's fault.
"How could you!" she screamed " how could you do this to Teddy!?!"
"YOU *****! GET OUT!" Tom yelled
"NO, YOU KILLED TEDDY" she screched, "IT WAS YOU WHO STOLE HIM AND NOW HE'S DEAD! I HATE YOU!" tears now streaming from her eyes
"You hate me?" he said his voice was calm and dangerous "You...Hate...Me?" he asked again. Leah stopped crying adn looked in horror as he closed the door making the room dark, she's never liked the dark, that was what killed Daddy.
".....no...." she stuttered under her breath,
"Really?, then why did you say it?" his words were strug togerther like slim ozzing out of his mouth "you know you shouldn't say what you don't mean....that's....naughty" he whispered, Leahs whole body began to shiver.
"I'm Sorry" She whimpered, clutching her dead Teddy in her arms longing for him to confort her like he used to.
"Tut Tut Tut Tut, who's been a naughty girl" Tom whispered again, the whole room fell scilent. he walked over to her and grabbed her by the hair,
"OW! NO! PLEASSE! I'M SORRY!" She pleaded but his grip stayed firm, He yanck her back and she fell on backwards onto his bed.
"BUT I SAID SORRY!" she screamed
"I know, but naughty girl must get punished" he insisted releasing his grip on her hair a applying it round her neck,
"NO! STOP! DON'T PLEASE, I'M....Sor....So...s..." she gasped for breath, her lungs yearning for air but no. Her Hands which had been wrapped round his trying desperately to get him to let go fell limb by her sides, her eyes rolled into the back of her head and all was scilent again, Mummsie would be really angery now.
