...Ted! Trisha screamed (that's his name), she ran to him with tears, carried him inside and rushed to the shelve to fetch her car keys and drove the boy straight to the hospital. He was immediately admitted into the emergency ward and was attended. 'This is impossible' the doctor thought as he couldn't find anything wrong with the boy whose mother just reported chewed a living scorpion. The doctor (who was shocked himself) told Trisha that her baby boy is alright. That's impossible said the helping nurses (two of them). The doctor turned to Trisha and said though you baby seem alright but we gonna have to run few tests on him because this is a very strange incidence that I have never encountered in my 18years experience. After a week Trisha is back in the hospital for the result of the test the Doctor had run. When she got to the doctor's office, the doctor told her that nothing is wrong with her baby. 'The tests results shows nothing strange about your baby, no genetic mutation, no toxin in his blood system. He perfectly alright, but then still strange. I can call on other experts to work more on your baby. Trisha now angry 'you will do no such thing, no one is gonna turn my baby into a lab rat' left the doctor's office with Ted in her arms, slamming the doctor's office's door behind her. And while on her back home she made up her mind to take Ted to the orphanage home as she can't cope with him any longer to make things worse her brother Tess (who she used to found solace in) is no more with her as he had been transfered to work in his company's branch in a foreign land, she didn't even bother to look at Ted this time for she knew all he would do is just smile at her again. Without wasting any time she stopped over at an orphanage named "TESCON ORPHANAGE HOME'. She cooked up some lies and after some days the deal was sealed to take Ted in to an orphanage home. The day came and Trisha dumped her strange baby into the orphanage crying, but guess what, Ted was just smiling and chuckling all the way. The amazed the director of the orphanage 'Most kids when been brought here would cry when they're guardians are leaving, this is strange' she thought in her mind. Trisha couldn't look into Ted's eyes for the shame, she gave him the hug that would eventually be the last from momma to a strange son.
Ted as usual will never run out strange happenings around him, he had a lot of them in the orphanage home which made the babysitter or what is she called hostile at him. But through out all the hostilities, Ted kept skilling, no pains whatsoever. He was locked up in a room for three days for standing up to the babysitter when she unjustly hit a gal, that was when he was 13. After the seventh day, 'he must have learnt his lessons by now' the babysitter thought. When she open the door to the room where Ted was locked, she was amazed to see Ted smiling at her, 'thank you for making me stronger' he said. She was scared to cold, ran and left him behind. No one has ever come in to make a move of adopting Ted. And so the boy grew gradually into a man. One fateful night in the orphanage, there was a fire outbreak, Ted was somewhere away from the hostel and when the role call was made, they couldn't find him, they sought for him but had to leave him behind thinking he's dead (now Ted is like 15 years old). The next morning, Ted opened the door (of a casket he used to hide himself in whenever he doesn't want to be disturbed, located like 200meters away from the hostel) and found out that everywhere is quite. He gave a grin as usual and left the home he had lived in for 13years...
