The room is dark, except for a patch of light that horizontally stretches out on the floor. Against the wall towards the back of the room stands a figure. You can make out his shape through the darkness but immediate features are hard to make out. “I never thought I’d see the day.” The voice is easily recognizable to our old friend Ty. Except the emotion was lacking. “They say life goes through phases. Some you think are over for good. That they’ve been placed behind a locked door and that’s the last of it you’ll have to deal with. You still have the memories but for the most part everything is settled...then the door unlocks.” The figure is perched up against the wall, head and shoulders slumping. “I honestly never thought this would happen, but I am a man who makes more than his fair share of mistakes. It seems hack luck and bad decisions follow whoever I go. Maybe it’s cause I act before I think. Causing myself most of the grief I put myself through.” A loud sigh is heard. The somber tone continues as he speaks again. “All I wanted was to become a better person. I was trying. Was I perfect? No, no one is. I was trying to work on myself. I was apologizing for my past transgressions. I was trying to mend fences that had been torn completely down. I was hoping to get a fresh start and really enjoy life for the first time.” You can see the figure lift his head but there still isn’t much more you can make out. The legs still stand as if they were pushing him into the wall and it appears as if hands are in pockets. “That never happened though. Instead I faced persecution along the way from all angles. Everyone wanted to bring up what I was. Not what I was trying to be. The past could not be left in the past for you. Therefore it was hard enough to focus on the present let alone think of the future. It became encompassing. The doubters and those who hate have started to outnumber those who care.” You see the shadows of arms move from the pockets to the head of the figure, moving up and down before returning to his sides. His tone becoming more aggressive. “I really wanted to be the good guy. I wanted to be nice to all of you. I wanted to promote understanding and be a positive force. Yet you wouldn’t allow that to happen. Instead you continued to push and push, backing me up till I reached a corner. You can only do that for so long until the cornered person coils and strikes.” The shadowy figure stands up straight for the first time. Ty’s voice now defiant. “I want you all to remember that I didn’t want to let this happen. That you left me with no choice. This is the only solution and I was forced to let it happen.” The shadow figure bends down and appears to pick something up and toss it. Out into the part of the room with light the camera zooms in on a gold Wadjethotep mask. “You wanted the snake. You’ll get the snake.” |
