Chapter One -- The thumb

Summer 1983.
The young boy with long lashes was running around in the house again and again.
He is cheerful as there was no one in the house.
At a glance, he looked like David Beckham in a small body. With brown hair, brown eyes, and with a fair skin. In Asian eyes, he looked a bit like Bruce Lee, with sharp features that will melt one's heart when he is seen.

Today is Wednesday, he thought.
He looked up, and sees the clock.
'oh no.. It will be 4pm soon..' , he started to panic and ran up to his room to hide.
'But hide where?'
He hide under the bed when suddenly there was a bang on the door.

"Jonathan!! where are you?...."
"Come out and play with me.. Today is 'THUMB' day!", continued the man.

A man in his forties walked in the house.
He was ugly. With a fat belly, uncut hair and a scent that he had not been taking a bath for one weeks now.

"Come out, Jonathan!! Uncle Mark is here!!"
"Time to play thumb... come out come out whereever you are!!"

------------------

Jonathan was hiding and tried his best to be soundless.
He felt so silent that he can hear himself breathing, panicking...

"FOund you, naughty Jonathan.. naughty Jonathan."
"Play hide and seek with Uncle Mark, ya.."
"Can't wait to play THUMB ya..."

"No.. uncle Mark, I am unwell today." said Jonathan softly.
"let me see.. You are healthy. " without giving him a chance, the man pulled Little Jonathan to his bedroom and shut the door.

------------------

The man pulled out a dvd from the DVD cupboard and started playing the movie.
In the screen, there was a naked boy and a man.

"Let's play THUMB... " the man started to unbuckle his trousers..
"No.. uncle Mark, I will be good boy.. Pls don't. It hurts.." little Jonathan begged..

"Shut up.. or no dinner for you!!!", shouted the man.

The man slowly closes the curtain...
and little Jonathan closed his eyes..
