Please Love Me, Mr. George

I didn’t know his original name and just remembered that when grandma first brought him home, she called him Leo.

Leo’s appearance shattered the peace in the yard. He was both rebellious and violent. He would just wreak havoc in the yard at first, but then he started locking in the cellar in private and pushed me into the pond.

These incidents weren’t exactly life-threatening and I would only get bruises, so no matter how outrageous he was, grandma would always forgive him.

This life lasted till the year I took the university entrance examination. The factory was under investigation for excessive pollution. If the factory’s processing area was blown up, it would mean that the factory’s sewage system wouldn’t able to function for a long time and the health of the residents living in the area would be impaired, so the investor wanted to bribe Director Lee a hefty amount on money so that he would just leave the city, but Director Lee fought back and hyped the whole thing up.

The investor ended up being arrested by the police and was also guilty of embezzling. At that time, the investor’s wife was about to be promoted in City P, so to protect herself, she filed for divorce and submitted a lot of evidences of the investor’s illegal deeds and the laundering of money.

The investor was sentenced and was seized all of his illegal assets. The investor who lost both of his money and reputation committed suicide in the prison.

After this I learned that Leo’s father was this investor and his mother passed died of lung cancer one year after he was taken to the yard.

The already dismal Leo became even more cranky after the accident. He rarely spoke in normal times, so after losing all the money, the kids in the alley started bullying him and calling his father an evil person.

These kids had never left the county and only followed their parents’ words, so Leo was even more alone and didn’t talk to people.

He stared turning his attention to the cats and dogs in the alley. He would sometimes kill them himself or would throw the dismembered animals into those kids’ home or even poisoned them. He would pile the dead bodies in the alley and waited for them to stink to the point that no one could live in the alley.
