The “Tynooza finite”
By: Carla Sierra Arzuffi
Chapter
three: The Ally
You can’t
tell or read Tyler’s life on a usual straight-chronicle-story-telling, because
Tyler was not what you could call a “usual” person, he was very unusual, and so
is his story.
Amanda was
an expert in getting away with things. She knew the ultimate secret of how
keeping parents at a short lease. She gave them what they wanted and what they
expected, parents don’t make questions if they don’t see the need to ask them.
To them, their kids got along just fine, they were good kids that got good
grades, did their chores and respected them. That’s all they needed, and that’s
all that Amanda and Tyler have them.
The truth
was, Tyler was afraid of getting his parents involved, he didn’t knew the
extent of Amanda’s craziness, who knew what she could do to his parents if they
knew the truth. This was a battle he had to face alone.
Amanda’s
room (wicked lair) was a mystery. Tyler never was able to get inside, not even
catch a glimpse. He wanted to know what happened inside so maybe he could know
her next move. All he knew is that dark things happened there.
When he was
18, about to go to community collage in his hometown, like Amanda did, Tyler
decided to get an ally.
He went to
the rescue pound, while inside, it only took him a fraction of a second and a
glimpse of a 4 months old husky puppy to know that it was meant to be his. He
took him right then and there and named him Lancelot.
The pound
was a horrible place for a dog, so Lancelot was very appreciative of his new
home and of his rescuer. Even as a pup Lancelot followed Tyler everywhere.
Amanda did not like dogs, when she was little a big black dog had bitted her on
the knee (she still had an ugly scar) so she stayed away from Tyler when
Lancelot was around, which was most of the time.
When Tyler
was at school, Lancelot was left alone, and he often worried that Amanda would
do something terrible to his canine friend, but Lancelot was not a stupid dog,
he could smell the fear and evilness in Amanda. She never got away in trying to
get rid of the dog, she tried almost everything: poisoning his food, running
over him with the car, throwing him out the window, she even once managed to
get leeches all over poor Lancelot. But the dog was a survivor, and like Tyler
Nooza, he was very stubborn in not letting Amanda kill him. Lancelot did die
one day, but not at the hands of Amanda and her evil plans.
When Tyler
was 23 he was finally able to move of house, to a crappy apartment in the same
hometown, he wished that someday he could move to another town, city, state, or
continent, but he did not have the money or means to that for a while. He one
day, would eventually move far far away from Amanda, but he would realize that you cant really run away from
someone who wants to kill you, you cant run away from your past, or your
future.
To be continued......
