A Day in the Life: KOF storyline

Prologue: Wishful Thinking

The alarm rang at 6:00 a.m. A teen at the age of about 15 wakes up in a room with two beds, two dressers, a closet, and a desk. He yawns as he gets dressed. As he makes up his bed, an adult enters the room.

"Roberto, get ready for school."

"Yes, Trevor."

As the adult left, Roberto says to himself, "Another day in the torture of a group home." Indeed, torture it is. Roberto Carter is a kid with no family and no friends. He is a great gamer and a recluse. He spends most of his time writing stories and playing games in his room with a smuggled PS2, XBOX, and G-Cube. As he gets dressed and takes care of his hygiene, a fellow "inmate" approaches him. He is known simply as Snoop.

"Yo, Rob," Snoop says as he walks to Roberto, "Why are you wearing a Steelers jersey? They are out of the playoffs."

"I like the color black," Roberto says as he smiles. He puts on his coat and knapsack and walks outside to the driveway. But as he waits he is jumped by some of the residents in the group home. As he lays in the driveway, blood-reddened and battered, he tries to get up. He is successful but he missed the bus. Now he takes a 30 minute walk on the highway to school.

After a long day of school, he rides the bus back, but again as he steps foot on the driveway, he is ambushed. This time he fights back, but is quickly subdued from someone stabbing him in his back with a pen. As he lays on the driveway ground bleeding to death, he makes a wish.

"I wish someone will be my friend and respect me for who I am." And with that he passed out.
