I had been on the bus home from work, just a normal
drab journey as usual, expect I did not know it then, I was being spied on, by a
lad at the end of the bus. My work day was the
same I would catch the number 7 bus in the morning, just before 8am, at night I
would be on the Number 7 bus coming home from work, just after 6 at night from
Monday to Friday.
I suppose you would call me a yuppie, I came from a
good family background, never smoked, never used foul language, I went to a good
university and came away with a very good degree. I had moved to London when I
got offered a job in the city.
On the Friday in question, after what seemed to be
a long hard week, I was looking forward to a weekend of rest, a bit of shopping
etc.
I got off the bus at my normal stop, and walked off
in the direction of my flat, I would not say it was in the best of areas, but it
was all I could afford for now. I got to my basement flat, as I opened the door
I was pushed from behind.
I woke up strapped to a chair, standing in front of
me was a very intimating skinhead, “Oi so you think you can come into our area
and lord it over us, do you cunt”? he spat at me, “well today we are going to
fucking change that”.
He took out a gas mask and placed it over my head
the eye parts had been covered up….I felt a sharp needle prick in my arm, I
started to feel distant, my brain felt like mush. Voices were telling me who I
was, I was a kid brought up on a council estate in the east end of London, I
tried to fight it as I knew this was not true, but the voices kept on coming,
reminding of events in my life, coming from a broken family, arguments with my
mum, driving me out on the streets, meeting others like me. I was always in
trouble with the police, even spent a bit of time in borstal for
GBH.
I don’t know how long I was like that, but it was
light when I woke up in a room that I did not recognize, I was dressed how I
normally dressed in my bleachers and was booted. I was still tied to the chair
and I saw my mate Jim, “Fuck Jim, why the fuck have you got me tied to this
fucking chair”. I hissed at him, you better get me out of this and your going to
fucking pay for it. He released me and I went for him, giving him a fucking good
kicking. I grabbed my cigs that were on the table next to me and lit up.
“Oi Jim, get the fuck up, we got to get to
the footie match, at this rate were going to miss the fucking start of it, I am
in need for some fucking aggro”, I said with a sneer on my face.
