H I S T O R Y && GENERAL
"Bobby Joe" was born on the 13th of June 1974, exactly 34 years ago. His parents were strict, although caring people. They lived in a reasonabl sized home in England, surrrounded by rolling hills of green and grey blotchy skies. Bobby was Mr and Mrs Estelles first child, and only son. Ove rthe next few years the family would growin in number, adding two daughters to the clan. Their names were Freya, and Kirsten. The children grew up together, fighting, loving and learning. The sisters were always the smarter ones, but Bobby was faster, wittier and stronger than them.
The family was stable, the father earning income through his military work. He rose fairly high up in the ranks, and by the time Bobby was eleven Roger had taken control of his own squadron of troops. Roger had always dreamt of dying in world war 3, in a mighty battle of bravery. 3 weeks after Bobbys 12th birthday Roger was killed in a plane crash while training with the junior jet pilots.
This death rocked the family, and was probably what sent Bobby on his down ward spiral. He started acting up at school, becoming a delinquent. he was arrogant, and paid no attention to school. He got his first taste of drugs and alcohol on his 16th birthday, and hasn't stopped since. He barely managed to graduate from school, but they were glad to get rid of him.
Around this time was when "bobby" realised that he would have to start earning some money. While his mother loved him dearly, not oblivious to his drug and alchohol addiction - just turning a blind eye, and wished for him to stay home. But "bobby" didn't want to stay, and started traveling, performing and getting money anyway possible.
His travels took him far, over many continents. He lost contact with his family and friends, lost all his important documents. At first he gave up his demons, but later took them abck up. He could not escape them. So, he wasted any cash he earnt on them, and wandered the streets.
This is where he's ended up. Will he banish his demons? Will he earn some cash? & more importantly, How many old ladies can he scare today?
S A M P L E P O S T
&& This is incomplete, just an extract.
"See those kids over there?"
A rough voice whispered quietly against the hum of traffic. The owner of the voice was pressed up against an alley wall, head glancing around the corner. Disheveled mop of hair whipped around his grubby face as he pulled his head back around to face the opposite alley wall. The man sighed in an agitated manner, hands laying flat against the alley wall behind him, while his eyes focused own upon a small boy sitting cross-legged on the ground. Had the little piece of filth heard him, or was he being cheeky?
"I told you to answer me when I ask you a question"
The boy shivered, and made a small squaking noise. The man, Bobby, rolled his eyes, before grinning in a manic manner. Of course th little kid was scared, who wouldn't be in a situation like this? Lost and your only hope of finding your mummy was a dirty old hobo. Another squaking noise, and bobby chuckled quietly. Really, he truly did feel sorry for the kid, he had no idea why he found it even the slightest bit funny. With a groan he crouched down to the boys level, weary joints cracking omniously. For a moment no movement was amde, and a silence seemed to inacse the two people, alhough the steady noises of suburban life echoed around them. Bobby Joe, better known as 'the hobo' glanced at the young boys face. Eventually the young boy worked up the courage to lift his head and meet his gaze.
" Thats it, come on."
The small boy let loose a terrible frightened shriek as the man lifted him up by the arms. A small scuffle ensued, a bundle of flailing limbs VS a disgruntled and hungry hobo. After a few mild curses the man dressed in dirty hole ridden clothes took control, carried the boy over to a trolley and dumped him in it. The boy, sat quietly, subdued by his metal cage, and far more interested in the shiny objects littering the trolley confines.
"Don't touch my stuff, kid"
