So, let's see. Bombs fell when I was a kid, my dad died in the War, you know, this is all pretty normal. My story is, I guess, boring.
|
He's shrugging all the trauma off of him. This destroyed him as a kid.

|
So Dassa found me when I was 13 or so, and she brought me to the Responders. They taught me everything. I became a Volunteer... it was great.
|
He's quickly summarizing the scariest parts of his life so he doesn't relive it.

|
And the Brotherhood, well.. we thought that would be different. We thought everything would be different though.
|
He sounds perplexed and exhausted.

|
Er, well, so anyway. Maybe in 10 years, Dassa will ask me to do another one of these Survivor Stories. Hah! Til then. Peace, Appalachia.
|
He shakes off the previous thought of death and despair, then ends on a high note.

For the past 5 years, I've been a Responder myself! I help kids who lost their families... get them safe, trained, and just act like a big brother.
|
He's pretty proud that he can contribute.

Boy! I think it's been like 10 years since I did one of these. Dassa said she lost my original one though. Bummer. My name is Colonel, so hey, hi!
|
Chipper guy.

Every year we find fewer people though, so I dunno. Things are not good out there. Just getting simple food and water is tough.
|
He's a tough guy but he's worried.

Um... I cut holes in the bottoms of all the gym shorts, and I put glue in the mashed potatoes in the cafeteria...
|
Still whispering, this is his confession

Hi... Dassa asked me if I would talk about how I got here. She asked everybody. So I said okay. My name is Colonel, and I'm 13 years old.
|
Teenager, unsure of why he was asked to talk to everybody, and is really nervous. He's had a rough life.

I haven't seen daddy since the bombs and so I guess he left because of that too... It's okay, I am trying to be good now though.
|
He is a little louder but is on the verge of tears

|
I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything... um... the bombs and the messed up people and the cows with two heads. All of it.
|
After he says "um" the rest is whispered like he's confessing.

|
I was bad... just bad. I cheated on my spelling test, I kicked Chip Wilkins in the shins until he cried, I pushed Rosie McCloy down the stairs...
|
Whispering, he confesses (this confession continues)

|
And um... I just wanted to say I'm sorry about everything... because my dad said if I wasn't this way then bad things wouldn't happen...
|
He's a little louder than a whisper, seems genuinely contrite

|
*sniffles* I'm not old enough to be a Volunteer but Dassa said I could help collect food and water... so I'm getting better, I promise!
|
He sniffles away tears at the start. He knows he's being a better kid but he still feels really guilty.

|
I told Harold Newell to eat ten dead flies a day in order to grow muscles, and um, I put Nuka-Cola in the rat cage water bottles at the pet store...
|
His confession continues, still whispering...

|
And um... daddy? If you're listening... I promise I won't be bad anymore so you can come back now. Okay? Okay. Bye. *sniffles*
|
His voice waivers and cracks , holding back tears.
