Prompt #2: Family
Family has always been an interesting concept for me. I'm adopted, and up until recently I didn't remember anything about my biological family. And believe me, you don't want to know what I now remember. So lets focus on my foster family. Harry and Doris, the couple that adopted me, they couldn't have cared for me better. Harry saw that I had... special needs. He knew exactly what I needed to... blossom, might be the best word. But it's been a long time since both Harry and Doris have left my life.
Now, all I have is Deborah, my foster sister. I'm very fond of her. We get along well, at least most of the time. We compliment each other. She's in homicide, I'm in the lab. It's a... team, you could say.
[[private]]
But of course, that's not all. My brother, my real brother... The ice truck killer. The man who not only manipulated my sister but attempted to make me murder her. Somehow, despite all this, he was the one I could connect to. I didn't have to hide the true me. We were a matched set, with no need for pretenses or lies.
And now I am alone and empty again. Because I killed him. I killed him to protect myself and my family.
How's that for dysfunctional?
