T.I.N.G Diaries: Prolouge

THE STORY: This is a journal. A journal about a boy. A boy called Juda. Well, that's what he calle himself anyway. He lives in the back streets of Glasgow, in near poverty. He was abondoned as a child, had been considered an accidet by his parents. You'd know expect a fireman or a nun to pick him up and take him to an orphanage. But in this story, it's far from it. He gets abondoned - and stays abandoned. Somehow, he survives. Actually, he was rescued. Sort of. By hobo, called Kevin. Kevin taught him how to survive, he even taught him how to read and write. But they weren't close. After a year or so, Juda was kicked out. "Iv'e doneenough for this kid" he thought. So Juda grew up, living like a hobo. Eventually, he got to the age of 15. Things take a turn for the worse. Much worse. His luck appears to be getting back at him. If you don't like happy endings...this story probably won't have one. Being what seems to be his last year, he starts a journal, entitled "This is not graffiti" (or T.I.N.G) It is recorded on an almost desertd street, where he... survives. It is made along the walls, roof... anything that would take a spray can. Hopefully, people would see beyond the graffiti,and the tale of a boy's life. A journal. A journal about a boy. A boy named Juda.

Must be more careful. Nearly got nicked again, but that chicken could only have been a day old, and I hven't had a meal for days. Anyway, the good news is, that it's one of the only hot meals I'll ever get. Shame it was rather horrible. But, a meal's a meal, and that'll keep me going for about a week. TO DO: Try and find out police patrol areas, if posible, avoid them. See if anyone's willing to trade my oat for a decent meal.
