This really was a hall of hard knocks. It is sad that this actually happened within a boarding school for boys. Someone could have been killed with the beatings which Big Bertha performed.

Great detailed and interesting story. I love your talent for character development.

Suggestion:

A near blank expression displayed on his face and screamed I would not get into a close chumminess with him.
(Should the word 'and' be changed to the word 'that' )

Nice work here. I am looking forward to another one!

You've brought back times, slogans, and the things that ring true about an era of war, protest, and discontentment. And then, to be stuck somewhere you didn't want to be would make things all the worse. Thanks for sharing.

Back to your home, safe and sound. You did a wonderful job with your story as always. I'm ready to read more. I'm anxious to find out what kind of punishment "Tubbo" dished out because you ran away. Until next time. Shirley

What a dreadful autobiography! I cannot imagine how you coped. Your vivid writing tells a shocking story of abuse. These men were criminals re what they did to the boys, and yet they were lauded and applauded. I am "enjoying" the story still, although there were a few complex words whose meaning I didn't know - yet the boy knew them.
Well done. It must be hard to relive all this sufficiently to put it into words!

Hello Brett,
I share the sentiments of the others who commented here, it ended too soon. You tell a riveting story. When I read it I want to grab a gun and get justice for all the abused, mistreated, misunderstood youth who find themselves in an institution that is ranked just above jail. I guess I'll have to wait, but I'm curious if you ever got any form of vengeance or justice or whatever. Well done buddy.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

Great description of Tubbo and of Big Bertha. Very vivid and colorful. This is so intense it sounds like fiction. The boy would have avoided some trouble, anyway, if it hadn't been for his defiant attitude. He was the kind of boy who wouldn't have been satisfied just to ride it out. We'll have to see what Tubbo has in store for the boy. It's not going to be pleasant. The boy is actually playing to Tubbo's desire to inflict damage. I thought that the language might have been simplified, if the story is to be viewed through the boy's eyes. Great story you have going. judi

I must admit probably hatred or its near cousin, resentment, must have burnt within you at the.apprehension you had to endure, but I suspect if you could have got your own back you would have. Men like him, are the bane of Society, I wonder how many criminals have been created in the guise of compassion. Beautifully written, blessings Roy.

    Always appreciate your comments and reviews.

    If I had included the rest of the chapter no doubt reviewers would have told me it was too long.

    So, cut it in two pieces.

    Hope all is well in your world these days.

    Do appreciate the sixer.
