It really sounds like you were fed up with the Hermitage Hall. I bet you did wonder what they would do when they found the whereabouts of you. So sorry life can be unfair and unloved at times.

I knew what would happen. Severe consequences. They did each time a boy ran away from Hermitage Hall and was returned. Appreciate the review.

Did keying Tubbo's car make you feel better? You did a great job on this chapter. I didn't see any mistakes to tell you about. I am enjoying your story. Have a blessed day. Shirley

At that moment a resounding YES!!! Many times over.
Would I do it today? If I was 12 sure would.
However, at my age, and hopefully more in control of my actions then I was, no.
Appreciate the review.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
What a sad and lonely life you had in the orphanage/juvy hall. I doubt it was any better to be homeless, but there were fewer rules. You have picked out words Johnny recorded that make him sound as lost and alone as you were. We all sometimes think our childhoods were very difficult, but you seem to have had one of the worst fates befall you. You have done a good job of writing your memories and strumming on our heartstrings.

How brave of you to escape that house of horror, Brett. It must have been awful. I got adopted before I could make an opinion of my own orphanage I was in.
I passed a couple (of) boys seated.
I will be following this, Brett. Ulla:)))

Comment from Ric Myworld
I enjoy your every post, but none more than those I can so easily relate to in a most personal way. This one takes me back to the early days when I was sent to the Kincaid Home for wayward boys. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

I was happy to read that you escaped from your unwanted existence but I would think the streets would be more dangerous for a young boy, Brett. I hope you succeeded in escaping that horrible place and King Tubbo. I am looking forward to the next chapter. Well done. Nancy:)

I must backtrack and find your other stories, although this one did not need a background as it stood alone very well. Your writing was clear and descriptive, and engaged the reader's interest from start to finish. Well done.

Comment from Judy Lawless
Your imagery in this chapter is especially good, Brett. Like this: "no doubt they'd publicly tar and feather me, or boil me in a vat of oil to a crisp, crackling, crunch. Fried moppet." The fact you can write about this life you lived with a good sense of humour is special. Well done.

Comment from judiverse
Great reference to the Johnny Cash album. I'm a fan. My favorite of his is his rendition of "Ragged Old Flag." This is such a compelling story. The boy went to great lengths to get his freedom, although it's bound to be short-lived. If he scratched his initials on the car, he surely knew he'd be caught. He must have been too enraged to care. As he described it, the punishment will be severe when he is caught. It's so sad boys like him had no one to appeal to. I'll be curious to see what does happen to him. Maybe he'll get a break somehow. judi

I'm greatly enjoying the story. The boy is definitely a survivor. You can tell he's going to come out okay despite his struggles. judi

How exciting reading a real life escape from this boy's institution, which to my recollection also housed many a grown pervert or two, fortunately the fat man doesn't seem to be that way inclined, but certainly a sadistic type, beautifully written Brett, blessings Roy
