• The Unexpected Happenings

    Essay 1: progress.
    Its been about four years from now since Don and Charley died from my accord, four years. “I Richard. J. Hartley killed Don. P. Collins and Charlotte. D. Samson by my actions I had brought down their fate leading them to a death that most of the world would think was a common accident.”
    If only I never came into their lives, every one of us would have lived nice normal lives. If only I was brave enough “Hey Richard I’m going to do it! I’m going to ask Charley out!”

    If only I never went to that once in a ******** lifetime holiday “Class, only five of you will be attending in this once in a lifetime trip to Australia so start writing your essays on what life is really about.”

    Who would have thought that my crappy essay about how the universe is always accelerating at a speed that could not be stopped is the same as a human’s lifespan even after death. The strange thing is that my teacher loved it so much it was decided that it should be turned into a book “Richard did you have any help at all because I really think this could really sell.”

    In fact my teacher published it and asked me if I’d make a second book on what happens at the end of the life span “Richard, your first book was a great success. I believe you could make another book because people have been requesting a book on what happens after an unfulfilled lifespan.”

    I was shocked at the time and of course I said yes, but looking back now I can see why my teacher, sensei or what ever you want to call a person who helps you learn everyday life, was impressed by my age and for someone to know that much about life was an amazing thing to come by. “Ah, so you have begun to talk to me Mr. Hartley now we’re starting to move forward although it’s been four years since you first came into rehab. Now tell me Mr. Hartley what is this fate you say you led them? Hmm?”
    Ronald T Richmond my psychiatrist, born October 11 1976 married to Mrs. Misaho Richmond, born February 1977. Ronald was assigned to me only because I am a dear friend to him. I, Ronald, Misaho, Don and Charley were the five who won the trip to Australia. Ronald was one of those guys who would do anything in their power to be known or do anything for a laugh for example Ronald was in love with Misaho so much he rigged the competition by putting every one’s sheets ,except for ours, the same as each others. When Misaho found out about this she was so embarrassed that her face was as red as a strawberry. So pretty much all of us were bachelors before we went to Australia but me and Don knew that fate was wrapped around their fingers.

    The thing is Richmond wasn’t supposed to be my psychiatrist because we knew each other, and it states in the code of conduct that if you either know or are related in any way or having relation with your client you must at all costs relieve your client to another psychiatrist, if you are also aware of this and you continue you will be stripped from your duties and be asked to leave this facility. But as Richmond is spoilt he isn’t smart so he‘ll do anything at whatever cost.
    “First things first Mr. R.T. Richmond please refrain from calling me Mr. Hartley its Richard, Mr. Hartley reminds me of my son of a b*****d father.”
    My father, John J. J. Hartley the second aka b*****d. Born spring 1959 and still probably alive today married my mother (Christina Taylor aka the b*****d’s doll born autumn 195 cool in April 1976 and gave birth to me in December 5 1976, then left unexpectedly, probably with another woman, in 1980 when my mother was pregnant with twins, baby Abigail and my little brother who died last year while I was in rehab. I didn’t even go to his funeral, let alone see him die. Things are going to be a whole lot different while my friends and part of my family are gone.
    “I understand I could say the same thing myself. Please do carry on.”
    “I fell… I fell In love… yes I fell in love….”
