It is dark… A young man sits in the bedroom of his fallen brother, Rick Murray. His name: Adrian Murray. Adrian was only 11 at the time of the attack, in 7th grade, too young to comprehend the actual reality that his brother had been set up, tormented, to the point he would take a gun to his high school, and begin firing. It seemed unnerving to Adrian that it had been almost years since the attack. His thoughts ran with questions, such as:
"Does anyone remember my brother?"
"Is he in a good place?"
"Who the hell is responsible for all of this?"
Adrian is in front of his big brother's bed, sitting on the hardwood floors. He has a basic white notepad, scribbling away at his thoughts.
"I'm 14 now. It'll be 3 years on Saturday. My brother had a list he didn't finish. Only I'll do the prick one better… I'll take out the ones responsible for his body in a casket. I told Mother it was time for the transfer, a change of scenery, time to face my fears. But it is really time for those poor souls to be put through the hell my family, my brother, and I, have all been put through."
"Tomorrow, the spirit of Rick Murray, and the fury of Adrian Murray, will wreak havoc on Degrassi Community School."
"I swear on my brother's grave."
