Tighter than tight

Chapter 4 (Jordan's Introduction)

March 26th was the day my went dark.

It started off as a normal day. I went to school, my dad picked me up, we got ice cream and didn't tell my mom.

My mom and dad's anniversary was that weekend, so my dad surprised her with a trip somewhere. They never told me where.

They had their bags packed and they left at exactly 3:30.

They were supposed to be back Sunday. Instead of my parents walking in, it was my grandparents.

They looked as if they had seen a ghost.

How ironic.

That day they told me that my parents were dead. I won't go into details on how they died but the funeral was mortifying.

To be honest, it still hasn't hit me.

I ended up moving to Kansas with my grandparents until they died in 2019.

I lived in their house for a while, but after a few months of no bills being paid the landlord.

At that point I was living in a tent in the woods, sneaking in peoples homes for food, using the creek to clean up.

It was horrible.

Or I suppose it is horrible.

I'm still living in the tent, but my principal, Mrs Jacobs lets me shower and eat at her house.

I'm always clean. That's what I'm good at.

I've been dirt broke, all I can really do is buy food. I can't get a home or anything.

But when I joined this group at school
I started making money. I can afford food and clothes, but since i'm a kid i can't get a place to stay or any of that good shit.

Basically money can't do shit for me but keep me alive. At the rate i'm going i'd rather die. I hate everyone and everything.

I hate my friends.

I hate the guy that killed my parents.

I hate the pandemic.

I hate my school.

I hate myself.

Everyone says March 13 was the day
the world ended.

Mine ended off the 26th.

I wish I ended instead.

Authors note: I will make the chapters longer as I finish the introductions. Let me know if there's any mistakes so I can fix them.
