Mister Barrowsky Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) We are locked in this tiny little world. And the dead stand between us like wraiths. Sokol is a 35 year old ex-fixer and a handyman from Albania who moved to the States in 2019 with his sister to establish a new life after he was fed up with the life back there. Worked as a full time mechanic, specializing in car electronics and as a side job; Part-time fixer for some of his friends. His sister sadly passed away in an apartment fire last winter. Sokol has been on a decline for awhile that includes and is not limited to; Occasional drug usage. Alcohol. Gambling. Reckless driving under influence. He is now turning his life around by settling in a brand new apartment, on the other side of the city, further away from where memories keep eating him up. Sobering up and getting back to work, he's still broke and has to pinch pennies, paycheck to paycheck. Sometimes he has money. Sometimes he doesn't. Sokol is a simple man. He doesn't necessarily need a pile of cash, but he thinks it would definitely not hurt to have it. Most of the time he simply thinks on how "good" it was to be a fixer back in his twenties, having at least... Some sort of "stable income". But that time is past, no more of that... "Imagine living with nothing much, but that's enough to keep your head above the water? Tell me you don't want something bigger and better. You are a liar. The world will decline you." Certainly broke, but hopeful and positive. He's got problems, but he's taking care of them - so, no stress. "I got this, definitely man." The thread will flow along the tales, adventures, routine, horrors and everything else that will come Sokols way. Sokol is a 35 year old from Albania that specializes into vehicular electronics and other electronic devices. He comes from a small, two child household from Eastern Albania. Grew up on the "streets" and graduated high school with a diploma. Further on worked as a mechanic and honed his skills around electronics that were quite new back in eighties and nineties. Was tangled in small-time criminal activities as a side-job. mostly taking the role of a "fixer" that arranges things for others. That earned him additional cash that did not show up on his accounts and that he was free to spend wherever. Nearing thirty five he and his sister decided to move away to America so they can work the same jobs, or something better, but with much higher life quality. Overally being much more wealthier and more established. Months after moving to Santos he was already working as a mechanic near his rented apartment, earning money that was enough for everything in his eyes. His sister died in an apartment fire; Possible arson. Case dismissed. Sokol was fired due to "Not carrying out job duties; Unnotified absence, regular; Under influence while on shift". He began spending his savings on; Drugs, alcohol, gambling and more stuff he does not necessarily need. After some time a breaking point happened and he quit being a lowlife. Trying to better himself up and get back to being "established". He's got a long way to go, but it'll be fine. Edited December 13, 2020 by Mister Barrowsky Link to comment
