I Have 10 Different Faces Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

On one of the most important days as a psychology student in college, I was running late, as always. I had been caught up painting my latest work in my dorm. I still had paint all over my hands, and I didn’t get the chance to change the dirty -shirt I had been wearing, but my classmates had probably seen me looking worse. At that moment I just needed to run.

I burst in through the door and went straight to my usual seat, next to a few of my friends who also studied psychology. The teacher was just now walking in, so I got lucky.

“The day has arrived, my dear students, to decide on your final experiment.” She said.

This was my favorite part of the course. We did experiments all over campus pretty often, but they were mild ones or ones that had been done before. This time, we got to design our own experiment, and we could make it as crazy as we wanted to, as long as it was ethical. My friends and I turned to each other grinning. We had been waiting for this since it was first announced weeks ago.

“So what do you guys have in mind?” I asked them excitedly. Their expressions dropped immediately.

Episode 2: The "Perfect" Murder Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

“It’s just not going to be the same without you here! I’m going to miss you so much!”

My best friend Sally was going to live in Spain, virtually the other side of the world!

“You’ll still have Jack and Layla and we can talk every day!”

“I know! But it won’t be the same as having you here.”

“It won’t be forever, maybe you could come out to visit me in Spain?”

I knew there was no chance of that happening, but it was a nice thought.

“Yes, you never know!”

Sally flew off to Spain the following day. Jack, Layla and I went to the airport to see her off. I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing, Jack put his arm around me and gave me a hug.

The "Perfect" School (Part 2) Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

“Don’t worry, you guys will fit in fine,” our mom said as she dropped us off in the front of the school.

My younger brother, Lucas and I looked at each other with a doubtful look. We waved goodbye.

“Are you ready?” I asked.

He nodded and I draped my arms casually over his shoulder as we walked through the gates of our new school together.

As I sat in my first class, I could not help but notice how clean everything was. Nothing was out of place; all tables and chairs were perfectly aligned. Even the pencils on the teacher’s tables were the same size and in a straight line.

I watched as children entered class, sat quietly, and waited for the teacher. The bell rang and the teacher entered the classroom. She called the roll, introduced me to the class and proceeded with the day’s lesson.

For every single question that was asked all the children raised their hands in an orderly fashion to answer. Children did not talk to their friends or laugh while the teacher was talking. This happened in every single class.

I Have A Perfect Body, But The Mouth Of A Monster Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

“Ha ha ha ha”

“Why do you have to be so mean Amanda? You may be popular, you may have the perfect body and a beautiful face, but you have the mouth of a monster!!”

“Ha ha ha ha”

I was so shy when I first started at my school, I didn’t talk to anyone at all. I remember the first morning as though it was yesterday. I found my classroom and took a seat at the back of the room, I was trying to act as inconspicuous as possible. I hoped by sitting at the back that no one would take any notice of me. But unfortunately my teacher wasn’t going to let that happen!

“Good Morning, you must be the new girl! Please stand up and introduce yourself to the class!”

My hands started shaking just at the thought of having to speak out loud to everyone. I could feel all their eyes staring at me, I couldn’t control myself any longer, I burst into tears and ran out of the room and into the bathroom.

Sister Is An 8 year Old Billionaire, Parents Worship Her Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

“I’m so sorry girls. Your grandfather passed away this morning.” my mom said with sadness in her eyes. Then she smiled. “Poppy, he left you his entire fortune! Do you know what that means?”

“No mommy.” Poppy replied. She was only eight years old and didn’t really understand anything but dolls and whatever nonsense the kids were into those days.

“You’re a billionaire!”

“A what?” she replied.

I rolled my eyes. You know how some eight-year-old kids are smart? Well my sister definitely wasn’t one of those.

“What do you mean he left his ENTIRE fortune to Poppy? I always knew that man was mad. But what does an eight-year-old know about money? Can she even use it before she turns eighteen?” I asked.

“There, there Caroline. You sound a bit jealous. Well to be honest, I’m jealous too. But according to his will, Poppy can get whatever she asks for.” my mom replied.

I'm A Monster Born Into A Family Of Angels Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

I looked up from the tv show I was watching to see my sister Kate standing in front of me. She looked white as a sheet and was shaking,

“What’s wrong?”

“I..i..t’s G..g..grandma! She’s passed away!”

“Ha ha ha! Good riddance!!”

My family all looked at me in shock at my reaction.

“Nick, what a terrible thing to say, how could you say such a thing?”

“Grandma was a grumpy old woman who was never nice to anybody! I’m not going to pretend to be sad that she’s gone!”

“Nick, go up to your room, right now!”

I just ignored what my Dad said to me and walked right out of the house. I didn’t care if they didn’t like what I had said. It was the truth! Grandma had been a horrible person for most of my life, I was glad she was gone!

My Crazy Billionaire Family Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

I opened my eyes and looked around me, I had no idea where I was or how I even got there! It took me a few seconds to realise I was in a hospital room. Suddenly I sensed that I wasn’t alone. I looked to my left and saw a man standing there, looking at me.

“Who are you?”

“”I’m your father!”

“What?”

“Oh yeah, and you’re a billionaire too!”

“WHAT?”

I felt the cool water washing over my body, I wondered if I was dreaming, but as I opened my eyes I realised that this was no dream. I sat up and looked around me, I was on a beach at the edge of the water, but I had no idea how I got there. In fact, I didn’t even know who I was!

I started to feel afraid but I tried not to let the panic take hold of me. Some instinct told me that I needed to get up and make myself a place to shelter. I began to collect driftwood from the beach and dragged it up into a wooded area bordering the beach. I piled the pieces of wood together, along with branches and twigs that I found nearby. It didn’t take me long before I had managed to build a reasonably secure place to sleep.

I Woke Up In A Bank Vault Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

It was hard to open my eyes, I had been in such a deep sleep but something just didn’t feel right. I stretched out my arm to reach for my clock, but instead I felt a hard stone floor. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times before things came into focus.

I sat bolt upright, I was in a bank vault and I was surrounded by money, lots of money!

Suddenly I heard the sound of the vault door opening, I looked up and saw a group of policemen standing there.

“You’re under arrest!”

I froze in shock!

I looked up and saw a group of policemen standing there, I froze!

But hold up. You’re probably wondering how I got to this point. Well, I need to start from the beginning for this all to make sense. Let’s go back to where it all began.

I grew up in a typical middle class family, my Dad was a teacher and my Mom stayed at home and looked after me. But one day things all changed, my Mom disappeared without a trace. No one knew what happened to her! One day she left to get some groceries, but she didn’t come back.

I Faked My Death To Become A Billionaire Jun 19, 2022

Show notes

I woke up and looked around me, I had no idea where I was. Actually I had no idea who I was!! I felt panic rising up inside of me and wanted to scream, but I managed to suppress it.

The door opened and a man wearing a white coat came into the room.

“Hello Darren, how are you feeling?”

I looked around me, there was no one else in the room, so he was obviously talking to me.

“Is that who I am? Am I Darren?”

“Yes, you are. Can you remember anything at all?

I shook my head,

“No I don’t, where am I?”

“You’re in hospital, you had a fall and banged your head.”

The doctor explained to me that I was suffering from amnesia because of the fall.

Episode 1: The "Perfect" Murder Jun 19, 2022

Show notes

We followed Michael up the pathway to the front door, Michael tried to open the door but it was locked,

“Maybe there’s another entrance around the back.”

“Aaarrgh!!!”

I looked at Layla, her face was white as a sheet and she was pointing to the floor. When I realised what she had seen I started screaming too! Red liquid that looked exactly like blood was seeping through the crack in the door. I turned to Michael, but he was freaking out!

“Let’s get out of here!!”

But hold up. I need to start from the beginning. Where it all began.

As I stepped down from the train and onto the platform I stopped for a moment and looked around me. The familiar sights, sounds and smells of my hometown hit me like a hammer, I’d really missed this place.

I had spent the last five years working in Spain, it had been a fantastic experience, one I’d never forget. But now it was time to come home! I missed my friends and my family too much to stay away any longer.
