Episode One

              Hello! It's time to go! He yelled at his eight year old son who was staring at a door. The door was something that looked familiar to him. Jasper followed his father whom he knew was always ready to discipline any of his children at any slight flaunting in character. He had just been chastised by his father some moments ago before leaving home. He got to the car and his father gave him a stern look. He ignored as he was more troubled by the door he had just seen. They had just visited Mr Adams, his father's bosom friend who was a taxi driver and a gardner. While in the car on their way home, he kept pondering on the door with questions on his mind. He knew he had seen the door somewhere but he couldn't remember where exactly. It was on a Monday they paid a visit to Mr Adams.

                The door he saw at Mr Adams house destabilized him for days. At school, Jasper could not concentrate; he kept on thinking of what he had seen on Monday throughout the week and this went on for almost two weeks. It was difficult for anyone to notice his withdrawal in concentration as Jasper was not a spotlight in class. He always had a dark and cloudy emotion and this appears on his countenance. During break, he would daily go to a lonely path of the school under a tree to have a think out. When asked why he always visit this place during break, he would reply that he wants to clear his head. A large percentage of students and even his teachers had wondered what a young boy like him could have in his mind that he was always thinking and lonely.
                 According to his tradition in school, Jasper went to his everyday spot ' to clear his head'. On this particular day, someone followed him quietly without his knowledge to the tree. Jasper got to the tree weeping profusely muttering some words.He wept while his unnoticed acquaintance kept watching him. At a point, his acquaintance could no longer bear it watching him. She took a bold step and moved closer to him. Since Jasper didn't know anyone was following him, he was surprised and afraid to see the girl behind him. This made him slump and he became unconscious………….
The girl was shocked and immediately rushed out to the school authority. The school emergency service got there within few minutes and Jasper was taken to the clinic. 
       The girl that followed Jasper was questioned by the school authority and the clinic concerning the incident… She didn't have much to say as she couldn't even hear the words Jasper himself was muttering well. Only what she saw was the information she gave…..

         **********************************************************

                 Break was over and the news had spread like wildfire before closing hour. Students had a lot of rumor concerning the incident. 
  "He's always lonely and withdraws himself , no one would ever know what he's going through" 
   " He probably had some problems with is health " 
" He might actually be fed up with life wanting to kill himself with some kinda drugs" 
" If that's the case he should have tried this at home and not in school" 
 " Who knew that girl was doing there? " 

 The Jasper's incident at school was discussed by some students after closing hour. 
    What happened to Jasper???
   Why was he unconscious??
What was his father's reaction when he heard??
Was the girl implicated by this incident??

So many questions and more were left unanswered and some students were concerned about what had happened… Especially those who work from home for some media house.
