A Tell-Tale Heart
by Francine Bayani


A terrifying tale in our own little town, the body of the young teen Noel Ellis Rosche was found under the floorboards of his own home, dismembered and tightly sealed, possibly for six months. Chief Investigator Howard Thomas called the crime 'a travesty against humanity'. He remarked that the scene was 'a terrifying horror flick brought to life before his eyes'.

...The father and mother plead innocent, but the Jury found them guilty with all the proof found from the data mined from the victim's computer. The two are facing life charges for first-degree murder...

Boyfriend Liam Markov arranged for the young man's funeral, cremating the body and scattering the ashes. He refused to offer any further statements but hoped the log files of this young man, released to the public, would help raise awareness to the dangers and discrimination LGBT Youths face...

...Howard Thomas refused to give further details on his search for the body...

...A number of youth and members of the community mourn the loss of this young man, who apparently touched their hearts in many ways...

...People question the reason for his reluctance to leave. Psychologists suggest social blackmail, which is not uncommon in close-knit communities...

Noel was surrounded by others, but nonetheless he felt completely alone or at least without anyone to rely on if things got bad. I'm not sure his parents needed to blackmail him into staying. It takes a lot to push a person to the point of breaking completely with their previous life, their family. There's almost always hope of acceptance, a longing to be loved for you and not for the image someone wants to portray.

I personally believe that is too often an issue in any relationship: accepting when someone is different from your perceived notions.

 

When you leave little room for openness, it makes this huge gap of trust. Crossing it then becomes a leap of faith.
