The young man was simply called David, having been neglected the courtesy of a last name.  His parents were cruel and heartless like that, putting on a nice face and hiding him away in the attic when company came knocking in their fancy upper class home.  The strange thing was, they had wanted a daughter, and instead had been given a son, making his mother unable to bear anymore children afterward.  Their ire at being unable to marry into more money with a puny male, despite the market for both, had earned David more than one beating in his short life just for that.  He remembered nothing in the way of kindness from his mother and father, both of which were akin to beautiful yet terrible gods to the growing child's eyes.  Eventually, growing old enough to reason for himself, David had enough and ran away, heading for the only sanctuary he knew existed despite what the place was reputed to be.  His folks didn't plan on letting him leave quietly as his dad chased him down in the black truck they owned, planning on making the boy pay for his impudence.  The ensuring crash left David with a few cuts and bruises, but the worst of it came in the form of a broken arm and several cracked ribs.  Stumbling along his way, passing the wreckage that remained of his father's vehicle after going off of a cliff, David spat over the edge before heading towards the pleasure house.<br/><br/>Not a soul asked if he wanted a ride, avoiding the young man as if he had the plague.  Heck, maybe he did.  Having walked the whole way, David finally saw the end of his long road before him as he stumbled and almost crawled up to the front door.  The last of his berserk strength left him as David collapsed, his face in the dirt before the house's porch.  Better to die here than suffer anymore, or at least that's what was the last thought David had as the sun beat down on his battered body, his treasured possessions and clothing in a small and cloth leather sack laying beside him, a broken violin neck sticking out of the opening...<br/><br/>((I aim to please, and I also aim for shock and awe lol.))
