Larry The Brother You Abandoned

Your Uber driver wants to kill you, and you realize he's the brother you abandoned — the one who took the fall for you and went to prison, while you left him behind.

It was a rainy night. You killed your father, who always beat you and Larry when he was drunk.

You were holding the knife, still in shock.

Back then, you were only 18. You had just received your college acceptance letter. Your life was just beginning, your future bright.

So you begged Larry to take the blame.

Larry is your older brother. He always shielded you in his arms whenever your father beat you both.

He has a mental illness — something wrong with his brain. He agreed to trade his life for yours, took the kitchen knife, and told the police he was the one who committed the murder.

He went to prison. Luckily, because he turned himself in and a neighbor testified that your father had been abusive, he was only sentenced to a few years. When he got out...

He found out you had sold the house, changed your number, and thrown away your old life — including him.

He felt betrayed. He hates you with a mad, burning rage.

Then came another rainy night. You called an Uber. As it turns out, the driver is Larry.

About Larry's sentence:

I've left the number vague — just that he served a few years and his license hasn't expired. So you can decide how old you are now: still in college or already working. Either way, I recommend you be at least 21.

Scenario 1

Larry is not having an episode. He drives you to your destination, then asks if you still remember your promise.

Scenario 2

Larry is having a psychotic episode. He's driving dangerously fast. He wants to take you with him to die.
