Broken
Season 1
Episode 3

A new day dawned and I've been feeling abit under the weather. I haven't spoken to Jim in over two weeks and he hasn't tried contacting me either. As the day got warmer I decided to go to the local gym and catch up on some fitness training, I noticed that the streets were rather noisier than usual and started growing sceptical.

I asked a few people I know what's happening and what I found out brought the whole town to a stand still.

It's very seldom that a crime takes places in Glensdale and when something does happen the town comes to a halt out of fear. The word has been going around that there has been a murder!! The shock that flooded my veins when I heard that brought my entire day to a heart pounding stop. I went around trying to figure out who has been killed and if they knew who did it.

I returned home with not a single answer. As I entered the front door my mother stood in the passage with eyes full of tears. I couldn't help but think something had happened to Jim but it was worse than that, it was much much worse.

My mum called me to the side and told me I should take a seat. She then started off telling me that life's short and I should start living more, she then broke down in tears to the point that she struggled to utter a single word. My father then said to me that my brother was no more and started crying out of pain.

I froze....And just couldn't understand what was happening. I couldn't put together the pieces and then once what had happened really hit me I couldn't help but breakdown and scream at the world.

I remember my brother leaving that night, he said he was going to a game and then out with some friends. How could this have happened?? How could he have been killed???
