What if
you could turn back time?
I Would say lets go.
Sometimes
in life we do things, odd things that we wish we could take back, simply
because they either hurt us, or hurt some one else. As times goes by, it can
seem to stand still, and we look around and notice what has changed. You
think about the past, and how you could have done things differently, but
would it have made a difference? Would every thing have changed for the
better, or would it have become worse?
After what you have done, your mind takes you back to that place, and you
think about ways you could have handled it better, over and over again, what
you would have done, what you would have said. But even if you think it, you
still can’t go back and change things. Once its done its done, there is no
going back, not madder what, we as humans can wish all we want, still
nothing will change.
But what if?
How
I wish I could turn back time, and go back to the day that lurks in my head.
The day my father had died, and the day I ran away. How I wish I could go
back, maybe if I would have been home, I could have saved him. And
everything would be different right now, my life would be better.
But would I be here? Where I am today, in Strike’s Fantasy Towers, as an
owner, as a man with power. Would I be the same? What would have been my
fate?
No
I wont think about it. I won go there, but still, I think about it everyday.
::It
was a nice calm day, and in this neighborhood in the north, on this nice
sunny day. It was March February 29th, a day that this young boy would
remember forever. This boy woke up that morning, right out of bed as around
8:30, he was 11 years old or so, he got up to get ready for middle school.
So he went and packed up his books, threw them in his backpack, and went to
use the bathroom. When he got out he returned to his room, and put on a pair
of jeans, black jeans, and a white t-shirt. He then reached under his bed
for his black boots, and then got up and went to his desk to get a pair of
black socks. He then went back to his bed, sat down, put on his socks, then
put on his boots, laced them up, grabbed his backpack, and went out of his
room and into the hallway. Where he could smell breakfast being made.
The Young Boy: Dad, what is that, it smells so good.
We can hear laughter from around the corner, where the smell was coming
from. The boy can smell breakfast being made; it smelled like Bacon, Egg,
and toast. The boy then walks
around the corner, and into a small kitchen area, we see a tall man, cooking
over the stove. The young boy then walks over to the table and grabs a chair
and takes a seat. The man then prepares the food onto a plate, and serves it
over to the table. Both then take a seat.
The Young Boy: Are you going to be home later Dad?
The Father: I’m not sure son, I have things I need to take care of, but if
I am we will go out a catch a game together.
The Young Boy: Alright dad.
They both finish their meal, and the boy can hear the bus outside. The
boy then collects himself, grabs his backpack, and gives his father a hug.
He then runs through the house and out the door before the bus leaves him
behind.
The Father: I hope he catches the bus this time.
The father then grabs the plates and takes them to the sink. But as he
gets there, something happens, and he drops the plates, he then collapses
onto the floor. He then screams out in pain. He then tries to get to his
feet, and grabs the phone and dials 911. After a few seconds, he gets
through.
911 Operator: 911 Emergency.
The Father: I… ne-….ed…. he-lp…..
The father then tries to give out the address as hard as he can, but by
that time, she tells him they are already on there way. ..
Out site it has begun to rain, and we catch up to the boy, who is running
after his school bus, he then runs out of breath. And stops in the rain. As
he stops to catch his breath, an Ambulance flies by him, it took a second,
by the boy knew there was something wrong, she he chased after it as fast as
he could. But it was soon out of his sight. A few minutes have passed now,
and he finally got back to his house. But the sight he saw was something you
should never see at a young age. Was some one being carted out of his house
with a blanket thrown over him, The boy knew it was his father, because the
feet were hanging out, and those were his shoes. The boy then ran from the
sight, because he couldn’t stand being there. Tears poor out of the young
boys eyes as he races through the neighborhood. And he trips over a stone
and skits across the rough concrete. The boys right arm begins to bleed, a
huge gash is left on his arm. The boy then gets up and begins to run again.
After he gets out of the neighborhood. He then makes it into the city and
goes down an ally where he can sit down, the rain then pores, and the boy is
soaked. He then looks at his arm, and the rain is washing away the blood. He
then looks up into the Sky, and as loud as he can, he yells out…
“why”.
Years have passes though, and the boy has grown. We
see the scar that was once the gash, and as we back away, we see that it is
Erik Dean. He has grown into a man, and is no longer that young boy. He is a
powerful man at that now. But he is still haunted by the past. This year is
the year that February gets that extra day, the 29th. The day his
father died, the day where his life changed.
A soft, young voice from a women, can be heard in the shower, singing a
song. It seems we are in a hotel. Dean is on the bed thinking, and his
girlfriend, Jaime, is inn the shower. Dean is at peace as Jamie sings a
song. It brings his thoughts
down, and all he can think about is her, which is good thing.
We
can hear the shower stop, and after a few moments, out steps Jamie, with a
towel around her hair, and around her body. Dean then looks over at her and
just smiles.
Are you Okay?
Yea I’m fine, all be alright in time, I was just
thinking about something, but hearing your voice always makes me feel
better.
Jamie begins to blush and grabs her cloths and heads
back into the bathroom to get dressed. Dean then laughs. He gets up out of
bed and walks over to the window. He opens the curtain and lets in the
sunlight, he then looks out into the ocean, he then opens the window and
lets in the fresh air. Dean then takes a deep breath, and then releases it
to calm himself down. Behind Dean, Jamie comes out dresses in a pair of blue
jeans, and a yellow t-shirt. She then comes over and wraps her arms around
Dean. Dean then turns around and kisses her gently, and then hugs her
tightly.
I will be back shortly, I am going to go for a walk to
think about some things, don’t worry I will be back soon.
Would you like me to come with you?
No, sorry but I would like to be alone.
Alright, I will be here when you get back. Come back
to me soon.
Alright…
Dean then grabs his trench coat, and heads out the
door and into the hallway of the 4th floor of the hotel. He then
walks down the hall in till he gets to the staircase, he then goes up, and
up, and up, about 6 floors till he reaches the roof. He opens the door to
the roof and walks out. Dean
then walks over to the ledge and looks over, and looks out onto the beach,
and into the ocean.
Like many, I have wished that I could turn back time,
and change things. But wishing for something doesn’t help any body. It
only makes things worse. But as I sit up here, what would have happened if I
had stayed home when my father had collapsed. Some things go unanswered. But
we all go on, and live are lives, one day at a time.
Things have happened in my life, bad things, memories that I wish I could
just erase, but then I realized, when bad things happen, good things come, I
mean I a man with power, money. I have a beautiful woman who loves me. What
more could I want really?
Truth be told, as much as I used to wish for things to change, All my losses
in life, in the ring and out, all my wins, every thing I have lost and
gained. As I think back on my life, I wouldn’t change any thing. All that
is left is to deal with the future.
And
in my future, is Kyle Murphy. A man for some reason, felt he needed to
attack me to get his name back in SFT, to try and gain some power. He must
have some sort of death wish. He failed to gain the RWA title, and he will
fail to get the SFT title. I’m not going to say that I can beat him
though, because as my past has shown, my PPV win record hasn’t been so
high, but then again I was fighting me like Shadow, Ghost, and Glenn Owen.
All legends who are high above the standards of normal wrestlers. I would
like to think that I am close that zone.
Can you say that Kyle, can you truly say that you are close to being a
legend, a man who’s name will live on forever in the hurts of men and
women. There are only a few who can say that. And you’re not one of them.
I don’t know what you wish to gain from attacking me on my own show, or trying to fight me at my PPV. But what ever it is, it won’t work. I will not let some one like you walk all over me. Let that be known Murphy, my brother in law beat you, and I will beat you. I wont back down, I wont run away, I will meet with you in the ring, and we will battle in till either you or I are no longer able to stand. I know that as long as I can breath, and there is air in my lungs, I will continue to fight. I give that promises to every one I face. You are no different.
Will
you fallow me in to my land of the Shadows?
Where things of the imagination
come to life.
Where things you couldn’t believe happen
Where your worsed nightmare could come true
Welcome to My Wonderland
In the land of Shadows.
I
am a man who is young, but old inside; I have fought the best, put up a
fight, and lost in battle. But yet here I am, still fighting. And after each
battle I grow stronger, with more wisdom, and more strength. I will use
everything I have learned to defeat you in the ring. I am after all, Owner
of this great federation, I can’t have just any one beat me.
I’m not a Dogg, a Legion, or an ICON. I’m not a
shadow, and I am no man of Steel. I am Erik Dean….
The wind then picks up and blows through Dean’s hair, Dean then looks down
the building and over to the beach to watch all the people just having a
good time. Dean then takes a breath and walks back towards the door to the
hotel.
