Sylvester Pullman was not very nice. In fact, in many people’s opinion, he was quite the opposite. One might be able to say that not one person in his entire life so far who’d had the opportunity to speak with him, even his own parents, had one good thing to say about him.
“Mark my word,” his aunt had whispered to her daughter at Sylvester’s birthday party when he was just eight, “that boy will turn out to be no good.” This was remarked right before Sylvester socked one of his guests in the face for playing with his most recently unwrapped gift. That was one of the many birthday parties that were cut short, all of the children who were invited being angrily pulled away by their fearful parents.
Throughout Sylvester’s life, many people considered feeling sympathy for him, but just before they decided to, he went and did something terrible and they refused to associate themselves with him any longer. At least, that was generally the pattern of things, until Clara came along, but that is not of immediate importance.
What is of immediate importance is when, on the nineteenth of May, standing over the body of the late Clara Carthwright, Sylvester fully realized his reputation (which was not at all unjustified), and also realized the seriousness and complete hopelessness of his predicament.
It was the truth that Sylvester had not intended to kill Clara. He knew it, but he also knew that she never would, and that it would take a miracle to convince the people who would need convincing. The last place that Sylvester wanted to go back to was jail.

that's sad,,, i sometimes wonder if some people are just inherently bad and its just their nature to be destroyers rather than builders because the world needs both.
@anth0nyc - I think that that is something that people will contemplate for years and years to come. Do you think I should continue the story?
Hmm...this is interesting. It might have promise if the back story is good enough.
I'd like this to continue because I wanna know more innit, it has promise of being quality.
@Viewtiful_Justin - I feel pretty confidant that the back story will be sufficient.
@oOzney - Alright, thank you for your input.
