Michael — Hive

Right from when Michael was a little kid, mummy and daddy always made sure he had little or no contact with people of the outside world. They got him everything he wanted, everything they felt he would need to be comfortable with being indoors.

Michael became an introvert not because he wanted to but because his parents never gave him the chance to know how it felt to be outdoors having fun. They even made sure he didn’t go to any public schools, he had a private tutor who comes around every day to lecture him. To the parents, they were trying to protect their son from all of the bad things in the world. They had the money and wouldn’t mind to spend it if it meant keeping their son safe.

When it finally was time for Michael to go to the university, they probably would have bought the school and turned it into a private university for just their son if they had the chance to do so but unfortunately they couldn’t. Another option was to send him abroad to school but that was even worse, he would be very far away from them and they wouldn’t be able to protect him there, at least they can always drop by his school over here whenever they wanted.

First day away from home had been scary for Michael. His parents had made him believe that it was dangerous out there but it didn’t take long for him to realize that the only thing out there was fun, a lot of fun and Michael was going to have all of the fun he had been denied at home.

It didn’t take long before he started doing drugs, hard drugs and due to the fact that he had been made to believe that his parents money could solve any problem, he didn’t give a damn about the cops and that was his doom.

Both father and mother watched as the judge ruled over their son’s case, sending him to five years in prison. Michael cried and pleaded with his father to do something, anything to set him free but unfortunately his fathers money had no effect in the court of law. He was going to do his time and there was nothing daddy could do about it.
