Tagline: After a full day of celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, the last thing they needed was a zoo in their house….but that’s what they got.

Our story begins sometime after Megan and I crashed a party hosted by people who we didn’t know as a means of congratulating her on being released from the facility she had previously being held in following a violent rampage stemming from the events that took place in chapter 3. What should have been a great night turned into a night of survival for the unsuspecting guests with no survivors. This unfortunately lead to police apprehending both Megan and I and placing us in jail. Megan was set to serve a life sentence due to her actions while I got only a year due to my actions being less violent and me also showing some remorse for the people who were killed. With some convincing, I was able to get Megan”s sentence downgraded to the same amount of time as me and she was set to be released on the same day as me. This also turned out to be her birthday. As she had been through a lot recently, I wanted to make it special and with mom’s help, I did just that. As a matter of fact, it was so special that it literally brought the house down. This is where our story begins.

Sins of the Brother Part 5 By Jefferson Bert

Our story begins as Megan is in the middle of her therapy session which was an agreement we reached if she was released on the same day as me. Failure to not attend resulted in her being placed back in jail for life. She was on the last day of her therapy.

“So what did we learn today?” asked the therapist.

“Well, I learned that it’s not ok to use a hook to pry people’s heads off their shoulders, not to mention rip the lips off of people if I don’t like what they say among all of the other things I did wrong at the party. But I need you to know that I was only doing it for my husband so I can show my allegiance to him. I want him to know that no matter what happens, I will always be on his side and the best way to do that is by harming people who make me feel threatened. That’s what this was. I felt threatened by those bunch of young morons at that party. Do you have any idea what it’s like to be different. I mean, we’re both disabled and that makes us weak. I don’t want to give the impression that my husband and I are weak. I want to stand out. I want to be the one person who will be able to defend and not be pushed around by people who aren’t disabled.” Megan said

“Well from what I see, you’re no different than anybody else who has a disability. You want to prove that despite your limitations, you’re just like everybody else and I admire that about you. I do have to take issue with the lengths you went to prove that though. I think you may have went a little too far.” said the therapist.

“What do you mean?” she asked

The therapist laughs. “Look at these pictures. There’s blood and guts all over the place. The inside of people’s body are on the outside. Their private areas have been ripped off. There’s furniture scattered everywhere and let’s not forget that it took the entire emergency room’s supply of ambulances and helicopters to get every dead body out of that house, not to mention the entire police force to survey the damage. The house is no longer in condition to be lived in. It is beyond repair. The biggest problem though are the lives that were lost on that night. There were thousands of people at that party and they al died. This means that thousands of people lost a loved one. What makes this worse is not the fact that they are gone but who was responsible for all of this chaos. It happened because of someone who I believe shouldn’t even be capable of this kind of destruction. It happened because of someone with a disability. You’re supposed to be less capable than the rest of the world but doing this does not prove that by any means. Not only did you prove your point. You proved it a little too well. What would happen to someone who did something like that? They would go to jail and this is what happened to you. If your disability isn’t enough to prevent you from causing chaos, why should your disability prevent you from paying the price for causing that chaos? You’re no different than anyone else.” explained the therapist.

“I’m sorry. I never thought of it that way.” said Megan. I’ve been really bad and can you just give me a moment to collect my thoughts? I think I have that right as your client. I know I did wrong but I need to reflect.” she said

“I’ll give you all the time you need.” said the therapist.

Well could you step out of the room for a second please. I reflect better when I’m alone.” Megan said

“Sure no problem. I would recommend that you avoid big parties. If your husband wants to throw you a party, you guys can do so privately. However, please refrain from crashing anymore parties. I wouldn’t want to see you placed again. You seem like a very nice girl and your husband is a very lucky man.” said the therapist.

As the therapist closes the door, Megan takes back her hook which was taken for her by terms of her release from prison. “I didn’t do anything wrong and I will continue to crash parties if I god damn well want to.” she said

While the therapist was waiting, I arrive to pick up Megan. “She’s just in there collecting her thoughts. She’ll be out in a minute. I would like to say that I’ve talked to her and I’ve recommended you guys not attend anymore parties because of her unruly behaviour. Try to have your own from now on. She’s a really nice girl.”

“You just have to tell her that.” I reply.

“I’m ready sir. You can come back in.” she said

The therapist opens the door and walks in. “So was there anything I said that you didn’t agree with?” he asked.

“Where did you get your degree?” she asked

“I’m not comfortable answering that and besides, what does that have to do with your progress in my therapy sessions?” he asked

“Well from the looks of it, it seems like you got it out of a cereal box. I thought therapists were supposed to give good advice. Advice for others to follow.” said Megan

“Well I’m sorry if I inconvenienced you in any way but this is my diagnosis. Either you stop this violent behavior or you will go back to jail. It’s your decision.” said the therapist.

“How about neither of those options. I will crash whatever party I want and confront those stupid enough to challenge me or my husband and I’m not going to jail for it. This is what I mean. You’re horrible at your job which leads me to believe you’re not a licensed therapist.” said Megan

So what are you going to do? Should I make the call to have you placed or are you going to follow my diagnosis?” he asked

“You know what the big difference between you and me is?” she asked

“What’s that?” he asked

“Well unlike you, I’m off the hook but you’re on it!” she screamed as she attempts unsuccessfully to pry the therapist’s head off despite drawing a significant amount of blood.

“That’s it. I’ll make the decision for you. You’re going back to jail and never coming out.” he screamed.

As the therapist attempts to charge at Megan, I intervene on her behalf.

“You know what? This make seem shocking to you but no she isn’t!” I scream as I electrocute him causing him to fall the the floor.

“You know what the problem with therapists are? They have such big heads and think they can boss people around whenever they want. This is probably why it was so hard to cut your head off but let me try now.” Megan said

She successfully decapitates the therapist killing him in the process and then throws his head out the window.

“I didn’t want to do it but he left me no choice. And he was fighting me too.” said Megan

“Don’t worry. You’re never going back to jail.” I said. I want to make it up to you for being trapped in that hell hole.

“What did you have in mind?” Megan asks

“Well I want to throw you a party since it is your birthday.” I reply

“I would love to but that headless asshole said we couldn’t.” said Megan

“So maybe we shouldn’t then?” I reply

Megan laughs. “Yeah like I really give a fuck what anybody says to me besides you anymore. If they try to tell me what to do, I have this and I will ensure it’s the last time they speak.” said Megan. She then shows me the hook.

“I have an idea. I know you don’t care about what anybody says and neither do I but I think we should have our party at mom’s house. She is out of town for the weekend. I’m sure they won’t mind.”

“Good idea. Let’s do it.” said Megan

I then begin thinking. “Now what would make this a great birthday for you?” I ask myself.

“I know. I could kill everybody on earth leaving just you and me and anybody else who you love behind so we can repopulate the earth.” she suggested

“No I meant something I can buy for you.” I said

Just then, I got an idea. “You love animals don’t you?” I ask

“Yes.” she said

“Well then a petting zoo or circus is the perfect idea. I mean it works for everybody because mom loves animals as well. I mean, she already has two cats of her own. A person who doesn’t like animals wouldn’t have cats, right?” I reply.

Exactly.” said Megan

I went in the house and called the local petting zoo to book the petting zoo.

“It’s your lucky day.” said the booking attendant. Not only do we have availability but that availability also comes with a clown at no extra charge.”

“We don’t need a clown sir. It’s for my wife’s birthday and we only want the petting zoo.” I reply

“Unfortunately sir I cannot book with just the animals. The clown has to come with it. It’s a promotion we have right now.” said the booking attendant.

“Oh well maybe we can use some comedy. Ok go ahead and send the clown as well.” I reply.

After booking the petting zoo and waiting for hours for them to show up and having me call every half an hour to confirm it’s booked only to have the same booking attendant get more and more frustrated with every call and having him say on the last call, “Sir yes it’s booked. If you call one more time. I will cancel this petting zoo and this is no laughing matter,” the petting zoo and the clown finally show up.

“You think it’s fuckin funny for you to be seven hours late after I book you? For god sakes, I was starting to think you were going to come by her birthday next year.” I said to the clown.

“Sorry I’m a clown. That’s what I do. I was trying to be funny.” he said

Well it better be worth it. We’ve been waiting for you.” I say.

As the petting zoo is being unloaded, the driver of the vehicle says, “That elephant has had a lot of peanuts. He needs to go to the washroom right now.”

“No problem it’s right there and make sure not to step on the cat.” I said

“Very funny sir. He’s an elephant. We need a place to store his cage to collect his waste.” he said. But it looks like the cage is too big so I guess he can go anywhere.” he sarcastically suggested.

“Well it’s ok. Mom can just clean up when she gets home. She loves animals and knows that even they have to do business every so often.” I say

“Ok great. So I’ll just need your signature on the bottom line and that I’ll be out of your hair.” he said.

After signing the appropriate papers, the driver leaves. As soon as he does, the elephant sits down and has a bowel movement that covers the floor causing mom’s cat to slip on it. This causes Megan and I to laugh.

By the way, you did tell your mom and step father that we were hosting a petting zoo in the house. Right?” she asks

“I knew I forgot something.” I said. Ok maybe we can work this out. What do elephants like to eat?” I ask.

“It’s not just about them eating. Look at this place. There’s elephant shit everywhere and the monkeys are eating all of the bananas and don’t look now but there’s a fuckin giraffe in your mom’s driveway. I really think your mom would have no problem cleaning up after them.” she said sarcastically.

Unsure of what to feed the elephants, I give them all the cat food available in the house causing the cats to go hungry and start meowing. Misinterpreting this as loneliness, I resolve to invite every cat in the neighborhood to join the party confining them to the basement which goes about as well as you might think. A total of 25 cats from around the neighborhood arrive.

“If you guys are hungry, I will order you a pizza which you will have to pay for.” I say. Mom’s cat starts meowing.

“Ok I’ll order you guys a pizza if you agree to stay down here until it comes. Who’s paying for this?” I ask

After ordering fifty pizzas for the 25 cats to share, problems arise when none of the cats have money to pay for it.

“Sir you owe me $10,000.” said the impatient delivery guy.

Mom’s cat meows again. “I know you think it’s overpriced and so do I but don’t you want to eat? Just don’t tip them. That’s what I do if I think a price is too high.” I said

“Well come on. I don’t have all night.” he said impatiently.

“Just give me a minute please. I’ll be right back.” I said

“Hurry up please.” he said impatiently.

After paying for the pizza with money I had and the guy taking off, he leaves. As he turns around, my stepfather arrives home with mom to come later completely unaware of what’s going on.

“Is this your residence sir?” asked the delivery guy

“Yes it is.” said my stepfather.

“I just want to let you know that having this many animals in a residential area is illegal and you can face a fine for this.” he said

“What are you talking about?” he asked as the giraffe eats his leftovers from lunch.

“What is a fuckin giraffe doing in my driveway?” he asked

“There’s plenty more what that came from.” said the delivery guy

He opens the door to the house to find monkeys eating bananas. Elephants are giving rides to the cats while mom’s cats are scared to death and there’s garbage everywhere not to mention animal waste.

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?” he asks

He calls my mother to explain the situation. She doesn’t believe him and thinks he’s being sarcastic.

“Come on. I’m sure it’s not a zoo in there. It’s just his new girlfriend. she said.

“No I’m serious. There’s fuckin elephants, monkeys, and every cat in the neighborhood is here.” he said

“You’re right sir. That is accurate. Every cat in the neighborhood is here and they really listen well too. I confined them to the basement and they keep coming up and down the stairs. Not to mention, they didn’t even pay for the $10,000 worth of pizza I bought them.” I said

“What the fuck is your problem?” I’m on my way now.” mom said

Mom arrives as I’m trying to get my stepfather to clean up all the elephant waste before mom got there.

WHEN I SAID TO HAVE A PARTY AND HOST YOUR GIRLFRIEND, I DID NOT MEAN TO BRING HOME A DARN ZOO. mom said

As punishment for throwing the party in the first place, I had to clean up after the animals.

“I’ll know better next time.” I said

The End
