Generation 1 - Part 13 : What a Nightmare!

WARNING! This chapter may contain some disturbing (if not horrible) content! WARNING!


"Must I really do this dr. Freud?"


"Yes you must Boy, we have been working to this point for weeks now, you have to tell me to advance."


"Now close your eyes, and take me back to that day"


"When i was getting ready to get to bed I started to get a strange feeling, coming from inside me. I was excited because I knew what it meant. I would finally grow up to become a young adult, which meant I would finally be able to leave that dreadful place."


"Though when the sparkles began, I couldn't help but feel somewhat uncomfortable, which was strange, because I had been looking forward to this day for as long as I can remember." 


"Concentrate Boy, let the fog clear up, there was someone else, wasn't there?"


"Yes! You're right doctor, Buddy was there, how could I forget? She was always there" "Never mind that now Boy, continue the story."


"Right, so I aged up, quite handsomely if I may add. And then my mind goes blank."


"The next thing I remember is Buddy telling me about all the horrible things my parents did to me. Even more so, she tells me stuff I don't even remember happening. She doesn't say it out loud, but I know she wants me to take revenge on my parents for abusing me for so long. That's where my mind goes blank again."


"Whenever I was in the same room as one of them, Buddy would be there, staring at me, and I knew what she meant to say."




"Must I really continue doc? You already know what happened next!" "Yes Boy, now concentrate!"


"Without knowing how I got there, I find myself upstairs, in my parents bedroom, bashing in on my mother with a hammer."


"It didn't take long for The Reaper to show up. And I couldn't help but feel relieved, shouldn't there have been guilt? Shouldn't I have been feeling guilty doc? That's whats bothering me the most!" 
"Just continue Boy, we'll get to that later." 




"Buddy pointed out to me, that my father had woken up from all the commotion."


"I guess he didn't wake up until after my mother died, or else he would have made a run for it, or perhaps even turned the tables on me."


"I found myself bashing in on my father without any problems, he never saw it coming, but he has always been a bit oblivious to the obvious."






"It did not take The Reaper long to come back and pick up my father as well"


"After he picked up my father, he just stood there, staring at me. He must have known what I had done. I became shameful of my actions, how on earth would I explain this to the world, but no guilt, I still felt no guilt at all. The only thing I felt besides shame, was relief. I was relieved they wouldn't be there anymore to beat me up, to control my life. I was relieved..."


While staring at Boy, dr. Freud felt sorry for him. Life was not fair, but this young man had the worst life could possibly have to offer, and he was not to blame for his wrong doings. "Boy, those feelings you had, they're normal in a situation like this. You have never had the change to attach yourself to your parents. You could not feel remorse for their demise, no matter how hard you tried, and that is certainly not your fault." 





Now about your friend Buddy here, that's why you really came to me..." "Yes doctor...she's not real is she?"
"No Boy, i'm afraid there is no such thing as a doll that comes to life. The fact that she is sitting right there, all this time, as a doll, should convince you of that."
"I guess I have known it all along, I think even when I started to talk to her for the first time, but I needed a friend so badly, I just forgot she wasn't really there, but doctor, explain to me, who told me to do all those horrible things? Who gave me the idea to kill my own parents? They may have done horrible things to me, but I am not like that, I would never ever kill my parents, no matter how bad they'd treat me!"
"I know son, I know you wouldn't. Have you been taking the medications I prescribed you the first time you where here?" "Yes doc, I have." "Has Buddy been around since you started taking them?" "No doc, she hasn't." "That's because you haven't completely made Buddy up. She was there alright, but in your mind. You suffered from what we would like to call 'Multiple Personality Disorder'. When a person is confronted with traumatizing events, mostly in their childhood, the child will at that point try to protect itself. It can do that by 'creating' another persona in their lives. For you, that became your beloved doll Buddy. You know we have discussed this before, so i won't go into depths about it this time. But you do need to remind yourself, that none of this is your fault. As long as you take your pills like you should, you should be fine. Now, let's finish your story!"






"I'm not sure what happened after that... I woke up in my bed, and Buddy was sitting besides my bed, as if nothing happened, as if she had never been there, whispering those things in my ears, as soon as my feet hit the floor I rushed upstairs..."




"Where a sense of great relieve came over me, because the sight of my parents sleeping undisturbed assured me of the fact that it had all been just an horrible nightmare!"




"Or wasn't it?


---------------------------------Notes and Out-takes---------------------------------------


Right...you didn't think i would just kill them like that did you??? (


But, when Emma told me i could kill the entire family if i wanted to, and cece told me to do it :) i just couldn't resist trying out Dexter the Bear...


This was my first time using alternate saves...For the conversation with Doctor Sigmund Freud I had Boy move in with him, his "office" was actually in a ...garage! And of course, i had an alternate save in which I was able to kill off Avian and Serena without actually loosing them :)


Then, some disclaimers. I know there is no such thing as pills or a "cure" for MPD. I also know that it is a far more complicated decease then I portrayed it here but I didn't want to go into it that much, and hey, we live in a simworld right now :) so anything is possible, even a cure for disorders like this!! 


Boy has aged up! I have been looking forward to this point for quite some time now ;) i get to move on from the deadbeat parents bit.........it was hard for me to live into a roll like that. But it's done now!


Next chapter Boy will move out, he will be a few days past, because i hadn't finished the pet goal yet. But 2 days after Boy's birthday Tiger reached perfection :) 


Gen 2 roll:
Marital Structure: Mixed Couple
Number of Children: Five Children
Heir: Child #2
Primary Income: Standard Career: Business
Secondary Income: Non-Standard Career: Farmer and/or Nectar Maker
Generation Goal: Social Bunny
Misc Fun: Born With It
Optional Pets Goal: Perfectionist



Boy's traits (all of them random because of the deadbeat parent thing): 
Hates the outdoors, Technophobe, Artistic, Snob and Friendly.


Of course i rolled this when Boy was born, and he has been following the born with it goal ever since......thats why he's wearing flippers right now................whenever he chooses to pop back into that outfit, no matter how many times i change him into a diff one. I think he likes the flippers....... I didn't even notice until i looked back some screenies I took :P


















And here are some photos i just had to share :)








Buddy, that little snitch, just ratted on Boy, she's calling for the police!

Dexter the Bear isn't perfect, Serena had to get out of bed before she could die properly :).

And the "make believe" graves of Avian and Serena :)


Fun fact: Even though Boy never went a single day to school in his life (except that one day he tried to release the 50.000 frogs that were meant for this major science project), he did get an invitation to graduation day (not for prom though!), and he got his diploma with a "Fail!" and the tiltle "most likely to be a miljonair". Aparently that goes hand in hand with a fail gnagnagnagnagna :)

  1. Wow, awesome, Klev.
    You had me going the whole. And I think the MPD plot works really well for the story.
    Really looking forward to seeing Boy out on his own.

  2. Nice chapter! This is certainly an IF plot that I've never seen before, so good job.

    Also, lol. Dr. Freud.

  3. Technically speaking, it's called Disassociative Identity Disorder now. ;D But everyone still knows it as MPD.

  4. Oh wow, that was really impressive, especially the twist at the end - really didn't see that coming despite the title

    ReplyDelete
  5. Actually, both terms exist for for quite some time, and are used interchangeably. MPD is just the more familiar term because it has been used longer. They started calling it Dissociative Identity Disorder because in the DSM-IV it was grouped with the other dissociative disorders :)

  6. D : You totally had me convinced for a minute there! Ah well, even though they're not actually dead seeing Boy murder them was very fulfilling and made me smile. Thank you for that <3.

    (So I think thats the new rule, eh? if enough people vote you have to follow it... just not in the way everyone expects.)

  7. i think so cece :D it should be added :P and i'm superglad i had you convinced :D was trying that way, though i have to admit.....i was on the verge of spoiling it in a pm lol :D

  8. I'm glad you didn't kill them! I feel like it would have eliminated any sympathy I previously had for Boy.

    Awesome, awesome chapter. I did not see that twist coming at the end. That was a very creative way to use the IF!

  9. Basically just what everyone else said :P Hope Boy can put himself together to not repeat his parents mistakes (or make too horrible new ones) - though if he was seeing a therapist, that's a good sign!

  10. actually what you portrayed is more like schizophrenia or psychosis than MPD/DID.

    Anyway, nice chapter. You had me going, too xD

    ReplyDelete
  11. No actually, it's not :) schizophrenia are "just" voices in your head (though a very severe disorder as well! Not trying to degrade it). I meant for buddy to be a diff personality of Boy. The "mean" side. Not to be a voice in his head. As i stated in my notes, i know MPD is much more complex then i am portraying here. And I know normally those personality's shift within the person itself, as if the person becomes someone diff, but i wanted to use the IF this way.

    And thanks ;)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Well, there's alot more to it than the voices, the reason I said that is because I suffer schizophrenia myself and I could relate to some of the stuff you were writing about :)

    I hope we see more of Boy's split personality

    ReplyDelete
  13. Your right about that, didn't mean to sound degrading, that's the thing with psychiatric disorders they involve so much things and also have a lot of overlap.

    As for Boy, I'm not sure yet but he might forget his meds every now and then hehe

  14. ... Wow Klev. I the last chapter I read was when he turned from baby to todler. You have a knack for story writing. I am officially jealous.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Great job. I must say that the IF became a whole lot creepier though. Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Ok, that was a good one!! Totally had me going. I can't say I would have blamed the kid...

    Can't wait to see what happens now that he'll be out from under his parent's (AND buddy's) thumbs.
