Chapter 2:

Epicureanism Act II

Darkness Between Roses


Johnny was alone on a moonlit night in his suit that cost more than 20 thousand Euros and with a strong smell of wine, Johnny didn't know where to go, he just knew it wasn't his place, with every step Johnny felt more distant from himself, but at the same time he felt happy to be distant from his family.

As Johnny walked he came across 2 boys, one of them was wearing a black overcoat and jeans, the other was wearing a gray wool coat with a hole in his chest, Johnny didn't understand why young boys were walking late at night to the noble sides of town.

"I can tell by the smell of your expensive wine and your padded hair that you come from a rich family," said the boy in the gray wool coat, "How about you help us, huh? At that moment Johnny didn't understand and decided to back away slowly, Johnny thought all the time if they were bad people and if those people wanted to hurt him, Johnny remembered the anger he felt from Onwel and the words said by him and remembered also the action he wanted to 

perform, Johnny at the same moment stops and runs towards the boys.


"I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ALL THIS EGOTISM PEOPLE HAVE !!!" At Johnny's screams he clenched his fists and aimed directly at the face of the boy in the gray wool coat, and at the same moment the boy in the overcoat ... pulled out a knife and stabbed Johnny ....

"What is that?!""That burns and hurts a lot ... my body is shaking and it's getting hot ... this red liquid gushing from my belly ..."

Johnny at that moment didn't know, because he had never felt this feeling Johnny was knowing for the first time ... o'what fear is, Johnny starts screaming and crying, not being able to take the knife out because of the being the extreme pain, Johnny found himself in a desperate position, the boys started laughing at Johnny's face, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU REALLY ARE A LITTLE TOO POWERFUL HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" at that moment johnny thought to himself as he cried and despaired.

"I really don't understand, what did I do to be treated like this? Is this divine punishment? !!!, why do I have to go through this? !!"Nobody ever explained to Johnny what greed was, and nobody ever explained to Johnny ... that the world was cruel, "I thought that nobles and rich people were greedy people ... but I realize that ... ALL PEOPLE ARE GREEDY! " Johnny, enraged at the situation he finds himself in, decides to immediately remove the knife that was stuck in his belly.

"You are really dumb," the boy pulls Johnny's hair and speaks close to his ear, "You are really a nobleman with a slave's soul who accepts any kind of insult to you," Johnny still

At that moment he took the knife and stuck it in the arm of the boy who was holding his hair.With cries of despair the boy begins to shout "HE HAD ATTACKED", suddenly the nobles who were in their houses open their windows and see Johnny holding the knife stuck in the boy's arm. At that moment the boy in the gray wool coat shouts to the nobles that they were defending themselves from that boy who was Johnny, everyone on the street saw the 

Greybarrial family crest on Johnny's wet and dirty suit and called the police to arrest him.

"This is the end, my life from now on turns into hell and I'm going to die being criticized and insulted for ideals that were right and crimes that I never committed" Johnny realized that the world is unfair and cruel.                                                                                   ***At the same moment the lights go out and a light of hope appears to Johnny, in the middle of the night tone voices and insults and footsteps are heard, Johnny hears the boys who were in front of him falling and then Johnny hears a soft male voice in a serene tone, "You've held out enough for today", "What a serene voice that gives me calm and hope ..." Johnny faints!Then Johnny wakes up in a luxurious bed with a goose feather pillow and a cashmere sheet and a blanket of goose feathers and satin with satin details, Johnny remembers his home and when he tries to get up to escape he can't because of the pain he gropes his belly, he looks at his abdomen and sees that he is bandaged and that someone has taken care of his wounds."Good morning young man" Johnny hears the same low voice he heard before and sees a Lord in a caramel colored suit, a golden monocle and a bowler hat.

"Sorry for the lack of respect" the lord leaves Johnny's breakfast on the small table and bends down to introduce himself "My name is Leonard Foster, I am 38 years old".


"What am I doing here?" asks Johnny a little suspicious. "Don't worry about anything, I'm just someone who wants to pay some bills" Leonard speaks as he puts Johnny's breakfast on the table.

"I refuse this coffee, I don't want anything that comes from greedy and selfish people!" Johnny even with Pain gets up and leaves, as he opens a door he is faced with a slender golden haired woman with her snow white skin and her penetrating gaze, her blue pupils show great wisdom and intellectuality and her long dress and pipe with golden thread details golden threads, Johnny didn't know how to react:


"He who most enjoys wealth least needs it, have you ever thought of that, young Greybarrial" the woman said directly to Johnny in an expressive and singing tone.

"This is Lana don Ferraz, a slender woman who is known throughout this area" Leonard spoke to Johnny, "I don't care about what a woman has or if she is pretty, I don't care about any kind of Riches" Johnny spoke and walked away, arriving near the stairs Lana spoke to him letting out the smoke from her pipe and a menacing look.

"What was once just hatred and disgust has become prejudice and general discrimination, I don't care about men's stunted brains for thinking a woman is ignorant or some such archetype, only that you will end up dying if you leave here, Johnny Greybarrial "

Johnny at that moment snapped and was left without any kind of reaction or argument, Johnny at that moment was refuted by Lana and the reality he was in.
